The 2013 Meteorite That Narrowly Missed The Earth
The explosion of the Chelyabinsk Meteor, which nearly hit Russia in 2013, was a viral event captured by dozens of dashcams in the notoriously driverunfriendly nation. However, the surprise arrival of the extraterrestrial invader, and the cityquaking explosion that followed, was no laughing matter. The Chelyabinsk Meteors size, a paltry 20 meters in diameter, might make it sound relatively harmless, but it had a massive impact on the city, without even touching down. Had the entirety of the meteor, instead of just a few meteorite fragments, hit Earth, Chelyabinsk would have likely been decimated.
