It was during this morning that it happened.

About a thousand were reported to be injured.

Also, today was the day that asteroid 2012 DA14 passed by Earth just 17,000 miles away.

Yeah, I heard about it this morning.

Yeah, me and Paradox mentioned it in the chat yesterday afternoon. NASA says it's the biggest 'atmospheric event' (it wasn't a true impact, because it broke up) since the infamous Tunguska Event in 1908.

Which is, interestingly enough, a complete coincidence. They passed by in opposite directions, though I can't remember which was heading north and which was heading south.

It wasn't a meteorite and an asteroid, they were just spaceships chasing each other. One got shot down and was pulled into Earth's atmosphere.

You'd think a spaceship would have some way of preventing burning up in a planet's atmosphere... silly aliens.

Except that's false and I dislike you for spreading the most absurd BS that I've heard this weekend about an event that a thousand people were injured in.

The thermal shields obviously failed due to the hit from the other ship.

Russian conspiracy theorists say it was a test for some Murican superweapon.
