if there's any more. news this hour on the story of the head coming out of central and west and russia right now i think lee incredible the sky full of fire and brimstone. thousand tons shot eyewitnesses that. says a trail of smoke a day at least twenty times the strength of the atomic bomb dropped on hiroshima took place in the sky above the cities and towns of the utils blows away smashed windows undestroyed gruesomeness of buildings. it was followed by a downpour stone fragments from the meteorite on the people. several people wounded but no one was killed the same results of a skull sneak attack. or
6:31 pm
not done did not get. the syria first and then we'll drop been here i don't think you have time to go all the way to trevor mckee. 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 found information. nobody over there and how i was a. yeah high high above the woods there was
6:32 pm
a flash but it was more of the self i think more cell to where the sun is now is that where the flash was. 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 anywhere it just expanded and that suits me. thank you very much no problem you're welcome i guess i'm popular now. that. this is good information that means the fragmentation of the media when further. nursery school teacher. was playing with children in the classroom. that she was
6:33 pm
about to save fourteen young lives. 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 one child hesitated and stayed near the window any longer and she would have been wounded by glass fragments of the slugs 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 of course. when the parents of the
6:34 pm
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 trial you have been screeching sixteen hundred people 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 a few minutes after the explosion broke thousands of windows showering people with . the windows were broken in this trial you have ensconced little two but even though the temperature was minus twenty it was still not closed on the contrary every doctor was mobilized. the 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
6:35 pm
had head injuries thank. you. was admitted to the same hospital after the blast on the morning of february fifteenth he nearly ended up buried under a pile of rubble. the injury isn't serious only the kneecap was broken. and we were just loading up some carriages when we saw the flash. we didn't understand what it was a first so we didn't even pay attention. 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 would now adays scientists are well aware of how much damage the meteorite could have caused. what i think is that chelyabinsk was shaken but unhurt. there are several sites in this area where nuclear weapons are manufactured would put my direct hit on one of those sites situated within one
6:36 pm
hundred kilometers of chelyabinsk. that would have resulted in much more serious consequences. at the time the meteorite fell a passenger airplane was approaching. the crew of the passengers on board so were a bright flash both the aircraft and the meteorite were caught on 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 almost collided with a meteorite. now officially known as chilly out in the meteorite enter the earth's atmosphere on february fifteenth at nine twenty am local time it exploded over
6:37 pm
a heavily populated area the body was seventeen meters in diameter and it weighed eighteen thousand tonnes nasa estimates that the total yield of the explosion was five hundred kilo tons of t.n.t. the ural incident was even registered as far away as alaska and the antarctic. the meteorite that exploded in the earth's atmosphere flew from southeast to 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 all sides. so by which the dogs just of all the dogs are running away because good lord of must speak. in the village of rosa. left his home and saw the unusual
6:38 pm
celestial event 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. has anyone heard rosa. i wasn't here right and you were in egypt yeah. 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 meteor rightists the largest space object to hit the earth in
6:39 pm
a hundred years before the most prominent phenomena for research as was 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. 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 hex tears well 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 in the last hundred years. to be mostly when there were
6:40 pm
a few more 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 hit a populated area it was iron and it broke into small fragments meaning it was quite 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 us fishing a fragment of meteorite and some other fragment fell down a huge heater of ice and snow around just now there's something black lying down
6:41 pm
there george when. the meteorite exploded high in the sky and the fragments dispersed open dozens of kilometers. moscow scientists are yet to find all of these fragments. so when they do see it and what height was it did it fly right a.v.o. don't. know if that was saving to lay down. like that mighty trying to see anything really to stop the smoke. oh let's. just enter that. direction of the highway that is no no no not the highway seemed like it was right above the school. and this is the reaction of the younger generation as to the incident. today we're
6:42 pm
trying to figure out the trajectory of the media. probably some of the locals have 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. site. just some already concluded that about a thousand tonnes of extraterrestrial material fell to us after the meteorite exploded the rest turned into dust and discussed in the atmosphere some of the remaining larger fragments a yet to be found. there. was a good cheer about forty kilometers.
6:43 pm
6:44 pm
6:45 pm
about international airport in the very heart of moscow. no space tracking ground station no local satellite registered the meteorite as it approached the. they could only register as trails which remain visible in the atmosphere for nine hours. that no one has been on the platform was coming in the unexpected attack from space threaten the lives of seven million people the cumulative meteorites of such size are very hard to pinpoint i would
6:46 pm
even say that of 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 woods is a top priority area of technology development so 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 missile attack except that it came from space. that's why it's order to reduce the chance of it happening again is that we have to protect our country with maybe five telescopes at the top it would cost about half a billion rubles are going to be at 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.
6:47 pm
there's been one attempt to bring so far to find mr right fragments 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. expert 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 the size of a large watermelon other fragments of the meteorite continued on that path and could have landed one hundred kilometers from here. oh you gentleman. i had 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
6:48 pm
and turn the village into a tourist attraction the locals and the whole a ready to greet their guests. people have to walk to the media right 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. the scientific expedition is now near the village of. its residents have reported the rained down on the image and can be found in the snow covered fee. 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
6:49 pm
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. completely. radioactive toxic. stuff from space. for almost four point five billion years ago. and they've changed very very little
6:50 pm
. by studying. 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 have large ones they were selling them for a price we couldn't afford these ones we found by ourselves. even the police and worried about the massive trade. as far as they know regular. chunks of meteorite. to be cautious and wary of and identified substances from unidentified individuals. the police to conduct
6:51 pm
operations and offices confiscate both stones and money for meteorite trade as according to the authorities. preventing fraud. the fragments from to. be found in moscow the show provide to guarantee that the systems are genuine citing the law that does not forbid trading in meteorites. their average price in russian shops is about one thousand rubles per. girl if you took it to the us. or to europe the prices would of course to work three times higher. it is so special because so many people side. with the mass media providing a wealth of information thing for. the whole advertising campaign was organized around. it became world famous overnight. and this footage is
6:52 pm
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 first 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. base. they were at this swimming pool my daughter's been swimming for two years now since she was four months old. cameras always on i get into the car switching on the fasten my seat belt and i'm off and 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 in skin his car with his small daughter. it appeared from the left but i couldn't see it then the
6:53 pm
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 way. 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 that mobility thing you don't have a million views on you tube in just ten days that we make the drug. we froze computer freezes we just took. other drivers from the urals just looked around. and drove. ok first row quickly step away from the windows everyone else hide under your desk . so there was
6:54 pm
a flash of light what are we supposed to do step away from windows 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. 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
6:55 pm
sleeping out to be. some live in dread catastrophic strike. just this one 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 as we were lucky other people have 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 and simply move on with your life. meteorite gave russian and international scientists are unique to study the interaction between space and. this time both the planet and on the population of its stood the impact. today we can say that this is a stone meteorite or
6:56 pm
a so-called cold right. type of meteorite is rather fragile and splits into fragments of all 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 and now. the people of us will have to face space threats many times in the future. a few days off the. american astrophysicist reportedly spotted six small asteroids approaching the. truth comes out. tomorrow or in twenty years i don't know its roots in theory humanity wants to live a long happy life or just live past to think about it. and the most advanced
