Apparently the asteroid is a result of global warming.

Yeah ... but how much confidence do you have they have got it right this thing will miss us today ?

"According to unconfirmed reports, the meteorite was intercepted by an air defense unit at the Urzhumka settlement near Chelyabinsk. A missile salvo blew the meteorite to pieces at an altitude of 20 kilometers, local newspaper Znak reports quoting a source in the military."

Evidently its unrelated - the russian one came in at the wrong direction to have anything to do with DA14. Its only the name I find disturbing - it happens to be my postcode.

Large asteroid explodes over Russia,

http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/15/world/europe/russia-meteor-shower/index.html

"A meteor streaked through the skies above Russia's Urals region Friday morning, before exploding with a flash and boom that shattered glass in buildings and left about 1,000 people hurt, state media said."

Turns out there's a ton of video footage of the meteor because driving in Russia is so dangerous that almost everyone has a camera mounted to their car. How dangerous is driving in Russia you ask?

While that is true of the continent, and the original post, it is not true of where Smuck was stationed specifically, hence, my assertion.
