this is pretty wild and awesome, now I have seen video of a meteorite hitting earth
Intergalactic amazon delivery is getting real sloppy
Just curious – isn’t 200km/h speed at the moment of impact not enough to at least break/crack the tile?
My heart goes out to all of the tiny dinosaurs in this video clip
Are they sure its not something dropped from a plane?
Video is in the article, but here is the direct link for those who want it (couldn’t find a YouTube link):

The video+sound of the impact will play between 0:05-15 seconds and a few more times throughout the video/interview.
Cctv footage is truly a godsend at documenting rare events
This is very cool and that guy is extremely lucky.
The impact looks to be high velocity dust or sand at this point. It would leave some damage hitting flesh, though.
New fear unlocked: “being struck by meteorite”
I wonder what angle that came in at? (On my phone I can’t see the rock in the one frame they say it’s visible).
I guess the falling tree does make a sound if no one is around to hear it.
Well that’s pretty fucking cool. And the dude is lucky, both because he didn’t get and because now he has something interesting and valuable.
Fascinating stuff. I truly love this kind of stuff.
Why are these news site video players always so fucking awful?
It sounds like fine glass being thrown into the plates. What was it made of?
