Are you sitting? And he's flying...

Do you remember civil defense classes at school? Flash on the right, flash on the left. What next - lie face down, with your back to the flash, cover your head with your hands...

And now, many, many years later, you are sitting in the car, it’s cloudy outside, the sun has not yet risen, and suddenly, suddenly, everything around you lights up - a flash from above. This is exactly the worst thing when the flash is from above. At this point you don’t have to lie down and you don’t have to twitch at all. Somehow I automatically started counting the seconds. Two, three, five, ten, fifteen - there is no sound, everything is quiet. I realize slowly, well, that means there won’t be a shock wave. It boomed further, about two hundred kilometers away, but the wave no longer reached us.

Almost immediately they called from Asbest with a question - did you have one? Yeah, it was. Then they reported on the radio about Chelyabinsk.

Now a little geography. If you fly from Asbest to Chelyabinsk, through Yekaterinburg, then you will first fly past the Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Plant, and then the Mayak Production Association - (well, that same secret nuclear plant, the Techa River, etc.).

Well, that is, if it had exploded over any of these wonderful objects, then the Olympics in Sochi would have had to be postponed, and the 2018 World Cup too. And in general, we would all have something to do for the next 20 years. The meteorite missed by some 100 km. On the scale of the Solar System, this is a deviation from the center of the target by the thickness of the tip of a needle.

You are lying, and he is flying...

In general, please come to the table, we are flooded again!
