Just found out about this:

Well I'll be dammed!

I hope all those injured people are ok are going to be ok though =/ This is something that definitely doesn't happen every day o.o

[TheLionPrince]

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims especially those two people in extensive care!

They're damn lucky nobody died. The chances for such an event are smaller than 1 in a billion. Only one fifth of the earth is land and even less than that is inhabited by humans.

The fact that nobody died is almost a miracle.

[OuRaion]

No one died.
That's surprising.
I hope those injured people get better though, we don't want to raise the death toll above 0.

Finally, a thread that is worth posting in.

We're darn lucky (especially those injured people in Russia) That we got away with it for now, because it could be much worser next time... For all we know there could be a crapload of rocks on their way to earth that are alot nastier then this one was.

Apparently it missed Sweden by just a tiny bit...don't know if I believe that, but yeah. Not sure if fascinated or scared...it just proves how little we know about things like this, and how little we can do to prepare ourselves (nothing)

It's like humanity just stepped on a snake without realizing it.

Fortunately, it wasn't venomous.

Injured people generally aren't okay, sorry to dash your hopes.

I think she's meaning that at least they're are still alive and not dead considering it could have been a lot worse.

Well, this is interesting O_o All I can say is, glad I wasn't there and I hope the injured get better!
