You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
The meteor crashing into Mother Russia.
New estimates put the speed at 46,000 miles an hour!
That’s faster than the meteoric rise and tumultuous fall of Brittany Spears.

Wow.
The video is insane. It is ferociously real, apocalyptic in its sudden ruthlessness. Somewhere Dinosaurs are shaking in their scales.
The chunk of flaming rock can be seen entering the atmosphere, lighting up the sky, turning security cameras white.
And then, in a destructive moment, a nano second that reminds us we really have no control; a Hiroshima like blast.
Glass shatters. Millions of square feet of glass explodes. Glass in buildings splinter, glass in cars implode, glass every where evaporates into shards of skin penetrating razors.
No one dies, but nearly a 1,000 are hurt.
It’s a Close Encounter of the thought provoking kind.
How many unseen chunks of rock, the size of a bus, a building, a small island, are hurtling through the enigmatic vacuum of space?
Are we in the galactic sights of Armageddon? Is the Earth a big bulls eye in a gigantic, pre-determined game of darts?
3,000 buildings were damaged by the shock wave. The meteor was the size of a bus. That’s not that big people; not when you are talking about the entire universe of crap hurtling around us in the dark.
And on top of that an asteroid flies by the Earth on Friday.
Permission to buzz the Earth? Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.
Whooooosh!
The gigantic chunk of rock, the size of a building only missed us by 17,000 miles. That’s a cat’s whisker in the spacial relationship.
But what if?
We can’t cure the common cold, and we certainly can’t stop a planetoid from blind siding Terra Firma.
Nasa Scientists estimate as many as 10,000 flying objects circling our planetary plane. We conservatively know of perhaps 1000 of them. That leaves 9,000 chunks of potential atomic craziness to knock on the door, light the poop on fire on the door step and then run and hide.
Peek a boo!
See ya in a couple of thousand years after the ice melts.
But why worry?
And that is crazy.™
