So this just happened this morning.

I think this is the best footage I have ever seen (has ever been recorded?) of a meteor entering the atmosphere. Hooray for cheap, modern technology!

It's amazing that the shockwave was able to break windows below and even collapse the roof of a factory, considering the trajectory probably went 20km or something above the ground! EDIT: 30-50km

I hope the people injured recover quickly, all the best wishes to them.

Edit: As Milcho pointed out, that was actually a meteor. Meteorites are the ones actually hitting the ground

So this just happened this morning.
