When you look at a commercial jet flying at 10k meters from the ground, it takes a long while until it disappears from the skyline. This meteorite crossed the entire skyline in a matter of seconds. That's just mind bogging. Also, the sound blast arrived waaay after the main explosion, and since it's been traveling at ~360 meters per second. I wonder if anyone here could estimate the speed of that rock in the atmosphere.
