In Feb 2013 a meteor lit up the sky over Chelyabinsk in Russia brigher than the sun. It had not been anticipated, causing widespread panic. It measured about 20m across, weighed about 13 000 tons (about the weight of the Eiffel tower) and was travelling at over 40 000 mph (Mach 60). The energy released on impact with the atmosphere was more than 20x that of the Hiroshima blast. Fragments of meteor did reach the ground, but the shockwave caused damage to over 7000 buildings across 6 cities, and more than 1000 people were injured (no deaths).
It is the largest object to have hit the earth since the 1908 Tunguska meteor and the only one to have caused widespread injuries to people.
Bizarrely, less than 24 hours afterwards, an even larger but unrelated meteor (Duende) skimmed the earth, coming a record (for a close approach, ie near miss) 4 earth radii within the Earth’s surface. This size of meteor is expected to hit only ever 200 years or so.
