The large meteor had associated smaller meteors. A trailing, denser, smaller meteor, partially protected in the slip-stream, continued at a faster velocity than the larger meteor, which was slowed and heated dramatically by friction with the Earth's atmosphere.
Quoting: MuzzleBreak A smaller meteor broke up, fell back, and then gained on the meteor fast enough to blow it apart on impact? Impossible. Think of a large water melon falling straight down, with a shot-put ball falling directly behind it by a couple of feet. Now imagine that they encounter a surface of 40 foot thick down-feathers. What will happen?
