Meteor Strikes Russia

The Tunguska Impact--100 Years Later - NASA Science

It is estimated the asteroid entered Earth's atmosphere traveling at a speed of about 33,500 miles per hour. During its quick plunge, the 220-million-pound space rock heated the air surrounding it to 44,500 degrees Fahrenheit. At 7:17 a.m. (local Siberia time), at a height of about 28,000 feet, the combination of pressure and heat caused the asteroid to fragment and annihilate itself, producing a fireball and releasing energy equivalent to about 185 Hiroshima bombs.

i remember someone posted in some thread that God prevents things from crashing into earth

yeah right

protected tayo *uls. take note mo yun pyramids of Egypt, they are built
kung san meron strongest mass ang lupa ng mundo.

they also say that when fighter planes fly directly above the tip of the pyramids, masisira ang instrumentation ng jet


so what's the theory giza pyramids? it's the same as the Las Vegas Mirage, it emits light to and fro outer space.

the only diff with giza pyramids is the we cannot see the kind of light that is emitting. in fact, it's still undetectable sa technology natin ngaun.

may theory dito that that light is directly controlled by God. if an asteroid is predicted to hit us say December 21, 2012. yun other end of the invisible light will be recalibrated by just a simple mm or inch adjustment, so that by 2012, the asteroid will just have a near miss.

so think of the pyramids as our God's own wiring harness to protect us from collisions.

They said its a size of a bus, malamang Nova bus yan kaya madaming nasugatan.

Though I'm a little concern that it entered earth undetected. The 900 casualties could have been avoided if they have predicted the impact site at least hours before impact.

This morning's meteor explosion in Russia resulted in more than 900 injuries, making the fact that the hurtling space rock was undetected by any Earth-based telescope more than a little disconcerting

It was estimated to be around 9,000 tons on entry. All a conventional missile will do is fragment it slightly. All those big, heavy fragments would still be heading towards the same impact point. Only spread out slightly more, and causing more damage.

To intercept a meteor that big, you want a big nuke. And a nuke would cause some nastier problems than a mere 9,000 tons of rock.

Why can't stuff like these crash at Beijing, like say, on Mao's tomb or at the PLA office.

naaaah! sorry niky, disagree. the americans, british, french, russians and chinese detonated hundreds of nuclear warheads during the cold war in the air, land and sea, from small 3KT cannon fired shells to hydrogen bombs yielding several megatons. the human race is still here. 1 more nuke detonated in space will not make any difference, unless of course if you're a satellite company who forgot to switch off your space debris beforehand.

A nuke detonated in space, maybe not.

But a space rock this small cannot be detected that early. We can hardly track the big ones, small ones like this By the time you could scramble any response, it would be within the atmosphere, already, with a small window for interception. So either you have a big smoking crater somewhere, a dozen big smoking craters in the same somewhere (intercepted with a conventional warhead or a small nuke) or an EMP blast and shockwave taking out all the unshielded electronics and light structures in the area you're trying to protect and a dozen big smoking craters spread out over a wider area but still doing the same amount of damage as the original meteor (good sized nuke).

Even then, 7,000 tons (the estimated mass of the meteor before it broke up) is a whole lot of rock. To pulverize it up as effectively as the atmosphere did, you'd have to create a blast as big as it created when it blew up on entry. Or you add your nuclear blast to the entry blast... creating even more damage than the meteor already did. Most of the damage was caused by the air blast and not the meteor striking the ground. Same as with the Tunguska meteorite.

So... use a big explosion in the air to stop another big explosion in the air... not a good idea. Nuke tests do little damage because they're done faaaaaaar away from civilization. Nuke blasts in the air over a populated area would simply be a way of causing billions of dollars in damage to transport, communication and electrical infrastructure. (A good idea of what a nuke over populated areas can do can be found in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns", where Russia develops a massive nuke specifically to destroy America's telecommunications network)

Ito ba yung meteorite na sinasabi nilang dadaan sa earth na sobrang lapit pero hindi tatama?
