After much of it had burned away was 650 kb or 1433 pounds...

It was very fragile and broke into 3 pieces. They managed to get more extraterrestrial material from that one asteroid than several of the US space missions....

Eerie that it landed in the morning when everyone was out and about, pictures taken on their car cameras, and no one killed, maybe 1200 injured mostly by broken glass...

I can see why they thought it was a warning . . . but to who and for what and from who? Article doesn't say...

Thanks for posting . . .
