Dapper Dave Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Nice when the meteor burns up IN atmosphere without hitting anything. Flameout!
Sedalia Dave Posted January 15 Posted January 15 2 hours ago, Pat Riot said: It seems like God doesn’t like Russia… Almost every car in Russia has at least 1 or 2 dash cams. Combined with a large population living in the far north, where is tends to be dark a good portion of the year. Things like this are bound to be captured on video. Northern Canada on the other hand, has few people and even fewer dash cams so these events are never reported.
Cypress Sun Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Could be Russian propaganda, they probably shot down another airliner.

Subdeacon Joe Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Thanks. When I read the title of the thread I was expecting the one from 12 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelyabinsk_meteor
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 Siberia is about 10% of the earth’s surface, bigger than Australia and almost as big as Antarctica.

It’s just a hard thing to visualize so I added the data. Siberia is generally figured to be everything east of the urals as it was in the 17-19th centuries. If you actually go there and ask “what’s Siberia?” It’s much harder to get an accurate answer [that does seem to be the Russian way, doesn’t it?] rathole here… just to give an idea of what it’s like there. outside of the big cities, most folks have outhouses.

I see. Thanks. I found something interesting. Then I found this: It seems like there are differing ideas on that territory.
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 It seems like there are differing ideas on that territory. yep! now, suppose you want to take a ride on the trans Siberian railway! There are a few trains with accommodations. But the Russian way seems to be bring your own food and alcohol and no showers for seven days.
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 I have seen 104°F (July 4) and -40 (Jan 3) in Novosibirsk, Siberia.

Subdeacon Joe Posted January 16 Posted January 16 2 hours ago, Forty Rod SASS 3935 said: Does anyone? The expats I knew who left as children, taken out by their parents, in the 1920s and 1930s were quite nostalgic for Holy Mother Russia. The ones I know who left as adults in the 1990s had mixed feelings. They loved Russia, hated the Soviet Union, and were fearful of the near anarchy and criminal rule after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
