Russian city begins meteor clean-up

Work is underway to replace acres of windows shattered by the enormous explosion from a meteor, which crashed to earth in Russia’s Ural Mountains.

The fireball that streaked into the sky over the tough industrial city of Chelyabinsk at about sunrise on Friday was undeniably traumatic, with nearly 1,200 people reported injured by the shockwave from the explosion, estimated to be as strong as 20 Hiroshima atomic bombs.
