Meteorite shards hit Russia after explosion in the sky - video
Video footage purports to show fragments of a meteorite coming to Earth over Russia after it explodes in the sky. Videos show trails left by the shards across the sky in the Chelyabinsk region and the destruction left on the area's streets. This video has been obtained from Youtube and has not all been independently verified
A meteor streaked across the sky above Russia's Ural Mountains on Friday morning, causing sharp explosions and injuring more than 900 people, many of them hurt by broken glass.
"There was panic. People had no idea what was happening. Everyone was going around to people's houses to check if they were okay," said Sergey Hametov, a resident of Chelyabinsk, about 1500 kilometers (930 miles) east of Moscow, the biggest city in the affected region.
