I happen to live 300km from the epicenter. The meteorite was seen in home town as well. I made a list of all the videos I could find: http://say26.com/meteorite-in-russia-all-videos-in-one-place
The video of the loading dock door blowing in is extraordinary.

Why does the timestamp on the video say December 31st 2012?
I have also seen videos of this event dated by January 1970. The explanation is silly: most of the drivers don't care to set the correct date on their dashcams.
Is it really just a coincidence that this happened the same day as the 2012DA14 asteroid? Some news articles are saying this came from the other direction and that these kinds of smaller asteroids hit 5-10 times a year, and while I put a low trust in my memory I don't recall seeing this stuff all over the news (and at the top of HN!) every couple of months... Or is that true but normally they land in the ocean or unp…

Yeah, it is a coincidence. It was debunked pretty early on, mainley because the direction it is flying in exactly the opposite direction the 2012DA14 will be flying in.

Here's a great dashcam video that captures the meteor arcing across its field of vision and lighting up the scene more brightly than the sun like a nuclear blast (first submitted to HN by dennisgorelik). I almost thought it was a hoax, and even tried to examine the video for signs that it was CGI. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJOJ6B2XOyA The guy doesn't even say anything for a long while, just starts speeding up. e…
Can anyone explain why I see so many dashcam videos from Russia?

There probably is a nuclear blast in that mix. They stated that anti-missile systems intercepted it - the only thing with a hope in hell of reaching and destroying/breaking a meteor is the 53T6 Gazelle, which has a 10kt warhead.
Here's a collection of insane videos of the event, some with the enormous sonic boom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIAm5hq8WWc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0cRHsApzt8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np_mpGYSBSA Can anyone translate what they are saying in the first one? You can get a good idea of the new videos being posted using YouTube's "last hour" filter: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%D0%BC%D0%…

According to Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson (speaking on NBC's "Today Show") it was too small to detect.[1]

A huge crater somewhere in the desert with fire flames everywhere. It's jaw dropping... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cT8vZ-7vxQ I just found this by using the "last hour" filter mmastrac suggested. EDIT: It doesn't seem to be a crater caused by a meteorite. By looking at the youtube video "cfn" (comment below) looks like it's a gas explosion in 2007. Still, amazing.
