Russia's Emergencies Ministry said 1000 people had sought medical help, mainly due to injuries caused by flying glass from the sonic boom and impact. A bright fireball shot across the horizon, leaving a long white trail in its wake which could be seen as far as 200 km away in Yekaterinburg. IT set off Car alarms, windows shattered and mobile phone networks were interrupted. NASA: "The shock-wave from the blast was equivalent to a 300-kiloton explosion." It is far smaller than than the 130,000-tonne Asteroid 2012 DA14, which luckily skimmed past the Earth today at 2 PM central time at 28,100 km/h, or 7.82 kilometers per second. It was just 27,700 kilometres above the Earth's surface, ( one-tenth of the distance between the Earth and the moon).
