As Denis mentioned in Good Morning News, Russia had some little visitors yesterday—meteorites that exploded over the Urals in Russia, damaging 300 buildings and injuring 900 people (mostly via broken glass). Here’s an awesome news report from Russia Today in which the (fairly flippant) Brit host and his not-exactly-a-scientist-but-she’s-cute “expert” reporter describe what happened and—here’s the important part—show TONS of sweet video. And while I realize these meteorites were definitely trying to kill us, they’re still kind of… beautiful? WATCH.

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)
