I'm 99.99% positive this event didn't cause any casualties. From the sounds of things it was terrifying but minor as far as meteorites go. Loud Airburst, some broken windows, car alarms going off. Any injuries would likely be related to starling(falling off ladders, down stairs, heart attacks.)
Do some google searching, I'm just starting to scour now for more info.
The Chelyabinsk region, about 1,500km (930 miles) east of Moscow, is home to many factories, a nuclear power plant and the Mayak atomic waste storage and treatment centre.
persistent trains (smoke trails) are common with fireball type meteors and may last from seconds to minutes. I don't know why anyone is so mystified by this... If something burns up it gives off smoke right?

Im so scared ohhh DA is 50 meters (160 ft) big deal doomers you wake me up when a ELE type asteroid at least half a kilometer is shaving us close. Im not worried about the small babys. Even if one could cause a tusgoria event the chance of it killing me are 1 in a million.
NON ELE asteroids do not scare me.
Keep on dooming

There are meteorites flying by the earth almost constantly. The link you've provided is like 'meteorite watch', to observe and monitor the ones spotted by observatories.
Sorry but I don't see the point. There were no more meteor hits after that one in Russia, so stop with the fear mongering.

Residents of the town of Emanzhilinsk, some 50 kilometers from Chelyabinsk, said they saw a flying object that suddenly burst into flames, broke apart and fell to earth, and that a black cloud had been seen hanging above the town. Witnesses in Chelyabinsk said the city’s air smells like gunpowder.

That doesn't sound like a meteor. It sounds like a plane exploding.
edit on 2/15/2013 by Phage because: (no reason given)
And how many burning planes have you smelt?

Not mystified by this. What I am mystified by is TWO smoke trails. I've seen fireballs and a few falling stars. Never have I seen TWO smoke trails behind them.
