Meteorite Crashes In Russia, 100 people injured by its fragments.

Several videos and reports are showing that a huge meteor just exploded over Eastern Russia, near Urals, early on Friday local time. The BBC is reporting that windows were shattered and even some school children may have been hurt, probably by the flying glass.  The Russian Emergency Ministry says that there are 20,000 rescue workers deployed in the area. Aircrafts are now flying over the area looking for impacts.
Amateur video broadcast on Russian television showed an object speeding across the sky about 9:20 a.m. local time (0320 GMT), leaving a thick white contrail and an intense flash.
