Perhaps 20,000 Miles Per Hour, 30,000 Miles Per Hour such that you break the sound barrier and thus you actually land on the planet earth. These events are more rare however, they do happen and they usually burn up over the ocean. They burn up over unpopulated areas. This took place over a populated area, and, of course, scared a lot of people. Indeed. Now, weve seen video of windows breaking. Weve heard reports of people injured. Would the meteor have had to have landed to cause damage or could it have broken up before it landed but still have this sort of impact . Yeah. Many times they break up before they land, and by the time they land theyre perhaps only as big as maybe a maybe as big as a typewriter. Back in 1992 in peaksville new york, Something Like this happened and landed on somebodys car. It was the size of a loaf of bread by the time it hit the ground, but originally it was also probably as big as a house or as big as a car. Should we be concerned that Something Else may be falling from the sky . Yes. We are in the middle of a swarm of meteors. Most of them burn up in the atmosphere. Some of them of course are likely to land on earth. But people in russia shouldnt be concerned of Something Else coming down. Unless theres a swarm of meteors. You know, theres a possibility its even connected to the asteroid 2012 da12. These asteroids do come in swarms, and an object the size of a house cannot be seen by a telescope. An object like da12 is but the object the size of a house or car cannot be seen by telescope and its conceivable its part of an asteroid form. When you say its conceivable its part of an asteroid form it could have broken off the da14 . Its possible. We can run the video backward and see what the trajectory of this object was and the if it measures the da14, then it bingo, you know it was part of the asteroid form and, of course, these cannot be seen by telescope and they creep up right behind you and catch you off guard. Indeed, dr. Kaku. Thank you very much. Well, meanwhile that Pleasure Cruise that went very bad in the gulf of mexico was finally over for 4,000 passengers and crew. The carnival triumph was tugged into a port in mobile, alabama, late last night.

We tried to keep our spirits high by being goofy while aboard using a portapotty, basically. Reporter the ceo was here to welcome back the passengers and apologize. We pride ourselves on great vacations, and clearly we failed in this particular case. Reporter some were appreciative of the apology. I felt like it was sincere. Reporter but few seemed eager to take carnival up on the offer of a free cruise. The triumph will head to the shipyard for an assessment. One of the main complaints the passengers had was what they called a lack of communication. They said they simply werent getting enough information as to what was actually going on. As far as the staff is concerned, though, every passenger we spoke with said that the staff did an incredible job trying to help out under very difficult circumstances. Annemarie .
