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.
