I just saw this on the news. I guess it broke apart about 10,000 meters up.

Beautiful to watch, but really unsettling too.

I thought this was about the meteor that's gonna pass near the Earth today, but i see the date on the video is from 2012!! Still amazing though :)

The factory on which one of the pieces  of Meteor fall

A popular Russian joke now:
'Tirael falled near Chelyabinsk. Army choppers are out searching for a sword shards.'

However, I don't think its a meteorite of the asteroid that is passing earth today very close. That was much larger and would like cause far more severe damage.

I think this just coincidence to be on same day and far smaller.

Both sad, and truly remarkable at the same time.

Very cool vid. I'm glad that there are now so many cameras running all the time that we get to see stuff like this.
