[quote:Anonymous Coward 33755459:MV8yMTQyNjE1XzM2MTgzNzMyX0YxQzM2ODFB] Might have something to do with meteor composition and the collapse or expansion of the plasma around the meteor debris during hypersonic transit through atmosphere. The physics and math would be interesting if said phenomena is true. [/quote]

It was very odd that the Russia meteorite did not cause any EMP (electromagnetic pulse) damage to electronics. Since the same thing happened on January 18, 2000 in Canada's Yukon Territory a meteor (tiny asteroid) the size of a bowling ball exploded at an altitude of 25 km with a force of 3 kilotons. In 'burning up' in Earth's atmosphere it generated an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) similar to that of a nuclear bomb, knocking out the power over one third of the Territory.
