Friday, February 15, 2013 3:01:55 PM @furryblob Because it really wasn't that big of a disaster. Lots of broken glass and things and lots of injuries but really not many deaths, at least compared to a lot of other things. It would be nice, but at least in the US it's not a big deal unless a lot of people die >> spectacular though. Wish I could've seen it, shattered windows or not... |

Friday, February 15, 2013 9:09:54 AM This was NOT 2012DA14. At all. It was not associated with 2012DA14, has nothing to do with 2012DA14, and should not in any way be confused with 2012DA14. |

Friday, February 15, 2013 8:52:23 AM This was NOT 2012 DA14.. that one is coming to earth later today and is known.. what crashed into the atmosphere here was an unknown asteroid that had no designation. We only know about 10% of objects that may cross the earth's path. hehe |

Friday, February 15, 2013 8:52:04 AM That's not DA14. If it was there would have been damage and the city you see that rock burning up over, more then likely wouldn't still be there. |

Friday, February 15, 2013 8:46:25 AM I don't know why this is not getting more attention from the media, all I see in the top headlines is that stupid 'blade runner' guy. |
