A terrifying meteorite shower left more than 500 people injured, buildings devastated and the mobile network wiped out when it hit Russia this morning.
The Urals region was struck by falling meteorite fragments which fell in the city of Chelyabinsk, 900 miles east of Moscow and close to the Kazakhstan border.
Brightly burning rocks could be seen for hundreds of kilometres as they crashed at around 9.20am local time and one bystander described it 'like a scene from the Armageddon movie.'
Pictures show a streak of smoke followed by several bright blasts of flames and eyewitnesses spoke of several devastating explosions.

Well your thread about the "Papal Apocalypse" seems to be becoming more likely! What with the lightning striking at the vatican and now this! I'm going to move to the middle of the desert and live in a tent like a bedouin! Thats a pretty cool video though!

Better than certain death! We went to some tourist attraction bedouin camp in Egypt and from what I saw I'd need to dig for water have a lot of camels and smoke shisha:D

Holy shit, that's intense.

And Russia just stopped Americans from adopting babies and brought in anti-gay laws. Just putting that out there. Not saying they deserved it, or it's karma, but it's definitely a 'funny' coincidence..
