The Chelyabinsk meteorite fell on February 15, 2013 in Russia.
With a diameter of around 17 metres, the bolide fragmented in the atmosphere. The energy released by this phenomenon is equivalent to 30 times the Hiroshima bomb, creating enormous damage.
More than 1,000 people were injured as a result. Indeed, since light travels much faster (300,000 km/s) than sound (340m/s), people stood behind their windows to observe the light phenomenon, only for the shockwave to arrive a minute later, shattering hundreds of panes of glass and partially damaging a factory, causing many injuries from broken glass.

A total of 1600 kg, ranging in mass from << 1 to 35,000 g, and a single 83 kg individual completely covered with regmaglyptes, were found in the Kamil impact crater in Egypt. This 45 m diameter crater was discovered by an Italian-Egyptian geophysical team in February 2009 and February 2010. Approximately 800 kg of the total mass observed in the field (including the regmaglypted individual) was recovered.
