The break-up was so powerful, it triggered nuclear test ban sensors thousands of kilometers away. A just-released analysis of infrasound data shows that the asteroid detonated with an energy equivalent of about 50 kton of TNT, similar to a small atomic bomb. This significant impact has received relatively little attention in Western press. Details are available today on »spaceweather.com. -- »www.insidetheie.com/ »earthlogii.blogspot.com/ »vietaffairsvets.blogspot.com/ Why is it that people who never pay attention to the weather are always the first to complain.

With every speck of orbital debris being tracked, nobody saw this coming? Somehow, I think there is more to this story. -- We were taking a vote when the ground came up and hit us.
