mapleboy Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 If there had been 3-4 hours difference in the timing ( very small margin in cosmic terms) then it could possibly have impacted on the UK...there's a lot less "spare" land here so could possibly have hit a city..Liverpool escapes it's just desserts again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esme Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well, this meteor and DA14 weren't the only ones at the time, there was this one as well in the San Fransisco Bay area a few hours later. http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local&id=8995365 You wait for ages and then 3 come at once.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It was made of stewing steak; that's meaty all right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much smaller so the chance is much smaller as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 It's much smaller so the chance is much smaller as well. Yes I know..but had it impacted the UK then there is very little "wilderness" for it to have hit.. it would have been a bit worse than we saw in Russia..

Cyclone Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I wonder how much double glazing their is in that area of Russia... No one was actually hit by a bit of meteorite after all, the injuries came mainly from breaking glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cold part of Russia..don't know if double glazing would be common or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
