WOW
The meteor shower, which was dramatically captured by numerous people on cell phone videos, was described by some as “like a scene from the Armageddon movie,” with YouTube clips showing a trail appearing across the sky before a dazzling bright object appears followed by loud booms.
The rocks crashed at around 9:20am local time, mainly over the sparsely populated city of Chelyabinsk, 900 miles east of Moscow. 20,000 rescue workers have been sent to aid recovery efforts, with the full extent of the damage not yet known. Windows were smashed and buildings were devastated, including the 6,000 square feet roof of a zinc factory, as some residents feared “doomsday” had arrived.
The main chunk of the meteor fell into a frozen lake, creating a huge hole in the ice. Experts are still undecided whether the event was caused by a meteor shower or a single meteor, as well as whether the damage was caused by the shock wave or actual debris, although residents reported fireballs crashing to the ground.
Space experts are divided on whether the meteor is connected to today’s fly-by of asteroid DA14, which will pass within 17,200 miles of the earth’s surface, closer than many orbiting satellites.

If it's not related to the asteroid flyingby, then did it when "under the radar" ?

This reminded me of the mid 90's when we had that one fly over us and blow up over wyoming or nebraska. Though no one got killed from it.

This was freaking scary. Imagine the scene happening from just miles away.

Absolutely awesome, great links Jeff, thank you so much meng!
I was away skiing when my wife sent me a video & when I found out it happened in Russia I told her I bet the US would get blamed for it - LEL!
Gotta love the idiots who say "We shot it down with our military might", yeah OK, maybe next time genius.
I still can't believe that this isn't somehow related to the passing Asteriod 2012 DA14 - way too convenient and coincidental regarding the time-frame but yet still "Unrelated"? I don't think so.
It makes me wonder if it wasn't Russia, a rural location, and actually any part of the US that we'd be all getting prepared for Armageddon - buying water, canned food, generators, stockpiling anything and everything...... I can't imagine how much the price of gas would've raised in the days leading up-to "Armageddon"!
