If this happened in the US people would think "OMG RUSSIA IS NUKING US"
When did you take these photos (how many minutes after you saw the meteorite?)

The first was light flash from window. After about 38 secs was exploding sound - shockwave. In this moment we moved outside, and first what I made - this photos. So it was about 1,5 minutes since light flash, and near 1 minutes from time when I heard (and felt XD) shockwave. Old fallen building I photographed after about 2 hours since accident, because it situated far away from univercity (near 6 km).

AMAZING PHOTOS!
Amazing you didn't run as well.. :O
Hehe curiosity was stronger, then sense of self-safety. :D
Amazing! You are so fortunate to see this. I would have loved to be there when it happened.
It amazing that this meteor was only 4 metres across!
>4 meters across
NASA estimates say that the meteor's mass was around 10,000 tons (9071.85 metric tonnes)...which really makes a 4 meter estimate sort of a joke.
Anyways, here's a picture of the fragments of the meteorite that crashed (51 fragments)
