For some reason when I saw them go into the back room I figured they were thinking "its the end of the world, might as well have fun".

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Mach 1 = speed of sound therefore Mach 92 would be 92 times the speed of sound.

Not that this has much to do with this event.. But if you knew that the entire population of earth was doomed because a meteor was heading our way, and nothing could be done, would you tell the general public? Quote:

Here is the largest fragment found. It's around 6 meters long. Which is 20 feet long.

I thought the same thing, but the speed conversion calculator I used said differently...Either way, it's damn fast. I think more accurate numbers have been found after I posted that.

Either way though, I'm sure we can all agree that this should help raise awareness of exactly why need a proper space industry to monitor and move/take advantage of these things before they drop on us

it's probably about right. Speed of sound at sea level is about 750ish miles per HOUR, this thing was doing 19 miles per SECOND. Damn fast either way

Gotcha, well if it is indeed a 6 meter fragment, that thing must have been pretty solid.
