twenty times the strength of the atomic bomb dropped on hiroshima took place in the sky above the cities and towns of the. way smashed windows and destroyed lucilla's of buildings. it was followed by a downpour of stone fragments from the meteorite on the people in the. several people wounded but no one was killed as a result of this. or not done yet yet not . well check this eerie a first then we'll drop in here i don't think you have time
9:32 am
to go all the way to travel nicky. scientists have come to the area where the meteorite fell in order to map its trajectory. to do this they have to interview hundreds of eyewitnesses who can provide fallible information. no but they're over there and how i was a high high above the woods there was a flash but it was more of the self i think more cell to where the sun is now as best about where the flash was. would have looked and that cloud was hanging right above the house i feel just after some time had passed the fifteen minutes or so i think i filmed it from my backyard and it just stayed there it didn't go
9:33 am
anywhere and it just expanded a bit and that suits me. thank you very much no problem your welcome i guess a popular now. that. this is good information that means the fragmentation of the media when further. sunny morning nursery school teacher i know to go to was playing with children in the classroom on the web that she was about to save fourteen young lives. well i saw it in the sky and all of the kids of course ran to the windows to see and then it became very hot and the noise was deafening i saw these lights and for some reason thought that the windows would be blown out maybe they were terrorists how could i know so i rushed them to safety from here into the kitchen over there. but
9:34 am
one child hesitated and stayed near the window any longer and she would have been wounded by glass fragments of the slavs i grabbed her and the moment i turned around we were hit by this wave. i crouched down with her and we were hit by shards of glass some of it hit me in the forehead. then everyone ran over there and there was another explosion but i tried to calm the children down covered myself with a towel so that they couldn't see the blood and. when the parents of the children learned about the scale of the disaster they were grateful for i knew it was fast reactions. kids they talk to you and i wish you. in the chelyabinsk region sixteen hundred people were wounded as a result of the impact many were injured when they came to the windows to see the flash in the sky the blast wave that came
9:35 am
a few minutes after the explosion broke thousands of windows showering people with glass. windows were broken in this little two but even though the temperature was minus twenty it was still not closed on the contrary every doctor was mobilized. to take children that were admitted to the hospital had cuts in the face. it's probably because they were up against the windows the moment the glass broke eleven children were hospitalized most of them had head injuries thank . you. off was admitted to the same hospital after the blast on the morning of february the fifteenth he nearly ended up buried under a pile of rubble. and the injury isn't serious only the kneecap is broken. it will reduce the shelling if we were just loading up some carriages when we saw the flash doesn't want to we didn't understand what it was
9:36 am
a first so we didn't even pay attention to the feel and then we were hit by the blast wave and we didn't even have time to understand what was happening look is a popular wooden chelyabinsk nowadays scientists so well aware of how much damage the meteorite could have caused. us to achieve what i think is that chelyabinsk was shaken but unhurt is good there are several sites in this area where nuclear weapons are manufactured it would put him a direct hit on one of those sites situated within one hundred kilometers of chelyabinsk would have resulted in much more serious consequences. at the time the meteorite fell a passenger airplane was approaching chelyabinsk the crew of the passengers on board so we're upright flash both the aircraft and the meteorite were caught on
9:37 am
camera on the ground but first there were rumors that a u.f.o. had shot down the meteorite to save the people of earth another theory is that it was a rocket fired by the military. later scientists studied the video thoroughly and came to the conclusion that it features the same airplane that only most collided with a meteorite. now officially known as chilly up in the meteorite and to the south must feel on february fifteenth at nine twenty am. gloated over a heavily populated area of the body was seventeen meters in diameter and it weighed eight hundred thousand tonnes nasa estimates that the total yield of the explosion was five hundred kilo tons of t.n.t. the incident was even registered as far away as alaska and the antarctic. the meteorite that exploded in the earth's atmosphere through from southeast to
9:38 am
northwest at a speed of twenty kilometers per second. its vapor trail could be seen in several regions of russia and for the first time in history the meteorites impact was filmed on video from sites. so bright it was the dogs just of all the dogs are running away because good lord it must be. in the village of rose and. left his home and so usual celeste above he immediately began recording what he was seeing on his smartphone his footage would soon be seen around the world but it was risky filming the explosion left him with concussion. was anyone hurt in rosa because i wasn't hearing bond right you were in egypt yeah
9:39 am
. it was loud. i started filming and i was swept by a wave as if i was blown by the wind. and of course i showed my parents the video afterwards they thought i was very rude but whatever i was scared. like a meteorite to start the day. the meteorite is the largest space object to hit the earth in more than a hundred years before the most prominent phenomena three searches push the event when an object exploded near the pod come anigh. on june the thirtieth one thousand nine hundred eight the sky over siberia was pierced by a shining fear as it approached the exploded with disastrous results.
9:40 am
as a matter of fact its trajectory was about the same and the blast wave was huge in that instance a lot of trees were flattened over thousands of hectares while in this case the only things damaged were windows this means that the explosive force was different maybe that altitude. but both. are not the only objects to hit the earth in the last hundred years. to be mostly when there were a few more big objects that hit the planet one was in the south of russia in one thousand nine hundred twenty two and was part of the side of your meteorite powerful stone meteorite was found only sixty years later another was the secret meteorite which was also large but it did not had a populated area it was iron and it broke into small fragments meaning it was quite
9:41 am
fragile. one of the large fragments of the meteoroid fell into lake. ninety kilometers from chile abbott's. the first to call the police was a local fisherman. he said that something fell from the sky and straight into where he was fishing. this is my area this is where my fishing pond is usually every fish but it's got his own area for ice fishing it's a fragment of meteorite and some other fragment fell down a huge teacher of ice and snow are up just now there's something black lying down to. the meteorite exploded high in the sky and the fragments dispersed over dozens of kilometers. moscow scientists are yet to find all of these fragments. so when they do see it
9:42 am
and what height was it did it fly right over you and. if that. means the lay down. like that mighty kind it isn't anything really to stop the smoke. oh let's. just have that. direction of the highway that is no no no not the highway seemed like it was right in the school. and this is the reaction of the younger generation as to the incident. today we're trying to figure out the trajectory of the meteor a. probably some of the lower level some already collected some fragments. so now we're just scouting the central region for the meteorite past and maybe drop something. this is exploration just some simple reconnaissance. ok let's go to.
9:43 am

all of the seals i would live. in eternal silence. invisible. every day is a struggle. for our children sleep soundly at night. we are palestinian women working in the israel. we've done more for our kids than our husbands. we are phantoms in this life. mission free accreditation free transport charges free. range month three kids free. free.

9:46 am
approached the. they could only refuse to restrain which remained visible in the atmosphere for nine hours. that no one has been warned about what was coming in the unexpected attack from space threaten the lives of seven million people committed to meteorites of such size are very hard to pinpoint i would even say that for the time being it's impossible no one has such equipment telescopes are used to observe larger objects this is something we have to work at the opens is a top priority area of technology development so this there have been impacts in the past and they will happen in the future. the scale of these impacts will greatly depend on their size. which used this was almost the same as a miss eyelets hack except that it came from space. that's why it's order to reduce the chance of it happening again we have to protect our country with maybe five telescopes it would cost about half
9:47 am
a billion rubles would be roughly the same cost in damages as a result of chile adding skids. where it presumably fell has become a place of pilgrimage it attracts scientists the police and tourists. don't want to turn to diving so far to find mr right for a glimpse but that did not yield any results there's rovers discovered that the lake is ten meters deep and has two or three meters of motive. but i seriously doubt that finding a fragment the size of an orange is going to be possible. however scientists believe that the fragments that fell into the lake could have been the size of a large watermelon the other fragments of the meteorite continued on that path and could have landed a hundred kilometers from here. oh you gentleman.
9:48 am
i had dived the first time. but now i can positively tell you that there's nothing there. the local authorities are determined to find the meteorite no matter what it takes and turn the village into a tourist attraction the locals on the whole a ready to greet their guests. people have to walk to the media right you can't drive there use a horse the environmentally friendly vehicle this only happens once in a hundred years everyone wants to have a look trying to find the media right. finally that's where it is we've been looking for there. is some else.
9:49 am
the scientific expedition is now near the village of. its residents have reported to. downa image and can be found in the snow covered fields but here it is. almost through to the ice crust these are the small fragments so they only went as deep as the first layer of crust. and here you can see the tail it's clear to see. well here is the stone itself this beautiful. this was the first fragmentation followed by the impact wave so it mostly split into such small fragments and they rained down everywhere. there really is a lot of this material lying around here it's everywhere.
9:50 am
completely homeless the radioactive toxic. stuff from space. for almost four point four billion years ago. and they've trained very very little in the. study. better understanding of the process is the. solar system. snatched up with the impact with the hope of making a quick buck. his personal souvenir has. some local guys had large ones they were selling them for a price we couldn't afford these ones we found by ourselves. even the police are
9:51 am
worried about the massive trade in stone as far as they know regular. chunks of meteorite. to be cautious and wary of identified substances from unidentified individuals. the police to conduct special operations and officers confiscate both stones and money from meteorite trade as according to the authorities. preventing for. the fragments from to. be found in moscow the show provides a guarantee that the systems are genuine citing the law that does not forbid trading in meteorites. their average price in russian shops is about a thousand rubles per. girl if you took the us. or to europe the prices would of
9:52 am
course be two or three times higher. it is so special because so many people saw it you were bored with the mass media providing a wealth of information to go america the thing for. the whole advertising campaign was organized around this media right and it became world famous overnight. this footage is now being seen by millions of people foreign t.v. show hosts made fun of russian drivers who didn't seem to be that impressed by the meteorite the motorists paid little attention to what was going on in the sky. go through us americans ask why russians have recorded their media right from all angles while they don't even have one shot of the plane that hit the pentagon ok arena here. is the. faith. they were at this swimming pool my daughter's been swimming for two years now since she was four months old. the dashboard cameras always on i get into the
9:53 am
car switch it on the fasten my seatbelt and i'm off. spends most of his life behind the wheel he works as a long distance driver under a captured images of the flying object while driving around till you have been skin his car with his small daughter. it appeared from the left but i couldn't see it then the traffic light was green but put a good old it on me i slowed down then there was this bright light up my hands were burned a bit all exactly scorched but i could feel the heat. and then it passed by and turned to the right. and i was in the right place at the right time there's no other explanation. this is probably the best recording of the meteorite did. you know that got nine million views on you tube in just ten days that if we make the drug. we froze computer freezes he just took. other
9:54 am
drivers guys from the urals just looked around. and. quickly step away from the windows everyone else hide under your desk. so there was a flash of light what are we supposed to do step away from painters step away from the windows that's right that was the first thing to do and what did we have to do next. and when you heard the explosion get down where. no one was wounded even though the building's exterior was badly damaged. shortly before the meteor shot through the sky classes were ended early because of a flu outbreak a lucky coincidence. although the people still saw the flashes when they got home.
9:55 am
you can see here it's covered with plastic film. here we will only change the glass because the frame is still sturdy. many children still have trouble sleeping i have to be. some live in dread catastrophic strike. just honestly i still feel kind of sick inside. i thought what if something happened to my parents they were at work but how would i be able to live. we were lucky other people had never seen such an event we were lucky to see it in our lifetime this was such a beautiful phenomenon of course a bit scary like science fiction but above everything else you should be positive
9:56 am
and simply move on with your life. meteorite gave russian and international scientists a unique to study the interaction between space and. this time both the planet and the population that stood the impact. today we can say this is a stone meteorite or a so-called right. type of meteorite is rather fragile it splits into fragments of possible sizes. it was hit several times on its way to earth there's a lot of evidence for this. happened a long time ago. we're not aware of any cases of radiation related to meteorites as for microbes this is not the kind of meteorite that contains organic matter i would think it's full of earthly microbes from. the people of us will have to face space threats many times in the future. a few days off the event american

astrophysicists reportedly spotted six small asteroid so the. truth of it could be tomorrow or in twenty years i don't know its roots in theory humanity if it wants to live a long happy life or just live past to think about it and the most advanced countries are already thinking about it and working on it. astronomers are discussing the high probability of disaster in twenty thirty six when the doomsday asteroid will cross the threshold that if it hits our planet the blast energy could equal that of the world's entire nuclear arsenal if this happens the meteorites that has made such a. pale in comparison. wealthy
