Quoting: Spittin'Cesium I'm still not %100 sure what to make of this apparent Meteorite - Somethings seem off to me,for example the punched out hole in the wall and roof of the Zinc Factory where it was claimed part of the Meteorite struck causing the damage seen,here - [link to www.youtube.com] Coupled with this regarding the future worth of the plant - ' Chelyabinsk Zinc expects RAS net profit to tumble 90% in 2013 CHELYABINSK. Dec 7 (Interfax) - Chelyabinsk Zinc Plant (RTS: CHZN) is planning to post a net profit of 55 million rubles to Russian Accounting Standards next year, compared to an anticipated net profit of 594 million rubles in 2012, the plant's chief executive, Rinat Shakirzyanov told Interfax, citing the approved budget for 2013' [link to business.highbeam.com] And then,whadayaknow - 'Zinc rose in London, narrowing this week’s drop, after an exploding meteorite caused damage at a Russian plant producing the metal. A shock wave caused by the blast destroyed a wall in a concentrate warehouse at the Chelyabinsk Zinc Plant site and smashed windows in other buildings, spokesman Evgeny Ponomarev said today. The plant is working as usual, he said. Chelyabinsk Zinc produced 160,000 metric tons of refined zinc and alloys last year, according to the company website. “Your immediate knee-jerk reaction is that this is potential supply being taken out of the market,” Nic Brown, head of commodity research at Natixis SA in London, said by phone today. “And then you spend time thinking, ‘How much impact does this have?’”' [link to www.bloomberg.com] ! So as far as the Zinc Factory is concerned I am suspicious Any takers!? Very interesting, over 500 million R less than 2012? Something stinks here. Great observation. The wall at the warehouse looked to be of Soviet era.I think a strong wind could have taken it down. My guess is a kinetic blast wave hit the weak part of the wall,Kinda like a ricochet. Yes,I had to do a bit of digging to find the above but persisted as something didn't ring true regarding the Zinc Factory and reports it was hit by part of the Meteorite. I have been having a hard time wraping my head around the circular nature of the "so called impact area" I looked up the Tunguska event and found some similarities,actually a lot of them. Some dude (Leonid Kulik) did an expedition to the site Here's a taste Upon closer examination, Kulik located holes which he erroneously concluded were meteorite holes; however, he did not have the means at this time to excavate the holes. During the next ten years there were three more expeditions to the area. Kulik found several dozens of little "pothole" bogs, each some 10 to 50 metres (33 to 160 ft) in diameter, that he thought might be meteoric craters. After a laborious exercise in draining one of these bogs (the so-called "Suslov’s crater", 32 metres [105 ft] in diameter), he found there was an old stump on the bottom, ruling out the possibility that it was a meteoric crater.

Quoting: psyoptics round. impact creator are always round....it is physics. This is generally true, but not always true. Try skipping a stone off sand or mud, they way you would off water. With all the proper conditions like the shape of the stone, velocity range, etc etc, it is possible, although unlikely. |

BoxerLvr User ID: 883595 Puerto Rico 02/16/2013 12:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The multiple bursts would seem to indicate the pieces coming off the the meteor were breaking the sound barrier every couple seconds? Why is there more than one pop? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22556189 I dunno. If the main asteroid broke apart into dozens of pieces, each one traveling many times the speed of sound, wouldn't each one create it's own sonic boom? It is precisely because it is fashionable for Americans to know no science, even though they may be well educated otherwise, that they so easily fall prey to nonsense. They thus become part of the armies of the night, the purveyors of nitwittery, the retailers of intellectual junk food, the feeders on mental cardboard, for their ignorance keeps them from distinguishing nectar from sewage. — Isaac Asimov |
