The meteor over Russia has been documented with some amazing videos. See here and here again and also here. Some wags are blaming the Pope. There was some humor following the event.
The panic and confusion that followed Friday's meteorite crash
quickly gave way to typical Russian black humor and entrepreneurial
instincts.
Several people smashed in the windows of their houses in the hopes of
receiving compensation, the RIA Novosti news agency reported.
Others quickly took to the Internet and put what they said were meteorite fragments up for sale.
One of the most popular jokes was that the meteorite was supposed to
fall on Dec. 21 last year – when many believed the Mayan calendar
predicted the end of the world – but was delivered late by Russia's
notoriously inefficient postal service.
