“It’s good that he did not reach, did not fall on his hat. But in the evening everything will be worse, we are waiting for the passage of a large asteroid – only 28 thousand kilometers from the ground, ”the expert ironizes.
The authorities of the Chelyabinsk region store grave silence about flashes and explosions over Chelyabinsk.
In Frede-Lent, bloggers are already joking that, as in the situation with bromine, our valiant representatives of the “EP” packed their suitcases (left to another area) and the themselves are frightened to death.
The Ministry of Emergencies in the Chelyabinsk Region retell the version of the Ural Regional Center of the Russian Emergencies Ministry of the Russian Ministry of Emergencies about meteorite rain and urge not to be panic. They could not explain anything more there.
The Ministry of Emergencies of Russia conveys:
-According to preliminary estimates over the territory of the Ural Federal District, a meteorite was destroyed, which partially burned in the lower layers of the atmosphere. Presumably, minor fragments of the meteorite reached the Earth and fell in low -populated areas of the area in the area of the city of Satka of the Chelyabinsk region. According to preliminary data, 4 people were affected due to the destruction of glazing. Energy systems, cellular systems work stable. Radiation background is normal. Further fall of meteorite fragments is not expected.
Forces and funds of the Ural Regional Center, including aviation, are given in high readiness mode. An examination of the terrain is distributed
Meanwhile, according to the information working on the ChTZ Ural, the roof collapsed on one of the workshops. A part of the premises burns at the zinc factory, one of the walls is broken. Children with fragments of glasses and stunned by an explosive wave began to enter the ambulance
I’m walking along Vorovsky Street, suddenly a flash. Raised her head – a fire ball flies, the size, as it seemed to me, with the sun, only brighter. Behind him is the same long glowing trace. Swept at decent speed and disappeared behind the houses. After about half a minute-minute (they write that after five minutes-nonsense) there was a wild roar. In the clinic, which I walked past, glass sprinkled, alarm alarm was howled.
Stopped working cellular communications.
A lot of glasses in the city are knocked out. My parents and my house have everything all, and my brother had a section inside the apartment, well, no one hurt. And all the chandeliers fell among the neighbors of his brother, injured the woman.
There are a lot of people on the streets: they released schoolchildren, students, and many workers. Emergency services are driving.
Rumors go that another one will fall in the evening.
Personally, so far got off with a broken window in her room. And the ear hurts after the explosion) lucky. During the explosion I was in a bookstore in the center. The glass got out, but no one hurt. There was a break between the flash and the explosive wave for about a minute or two. Friends report wounded. These are mainly children who were near the windows in educational institutions. Infuriates that no one said anything to people before. And now rumors are beginning to collect everything in a row. Up to the apocalypse and in complete seriousness. People are afraid of repetition of explosions, as the plant suffered.
I stand in the workshop, a flash in the window, I go, I see a car I think either a meteor or a missile attack. I flew towards the ECB (workshop in the suburbs from the side of Chelyabinsk) an explosion (not strong) I call the city like everything is fine, I read the news – in Chelyabinsk, the glass explosions were baked, I call there – there is no connection. Scary…
Official info about the victims-50 people from cuts with glasses. I think there will be a lot of such victims.
On the one hand, this is an amazing event, adrenaline, delightful, unusual, but on the other it is just a nightmare and a horror. I have a mixed feeling, on the one hand I would like to be there during the fall, on the other, how good I am not in the Urals. I am honestly shocking now.
Urals, attach! Stock up with water and go away from the glasses.
The second fall in the area of the Urals will not be! The earth moves if the fall and intersperses then at a different point of the planet. So, calm down and don’t panic!
