Meteor explodes over Russia - small fragments hit Earth

Some reports are saying close to 1,000 have been injured (mostly by broken glass) but only about 100 have been admitted to the hospital. Hundreds of buildings damaged mostly from broken glass.

Some of the videos are astonishing. It's also interesting to see how calmly the people reacted to it.
