Asteroid Strikes Colombia - American Media Buries It!.

Such a colossal event, so little media coverage.

Around 3:10PM Sunday afternoon residents of Colombia were awestruck when the clear sky was cracked open by a massive fireball that exploded upon impact leaving a 300 foot wide crater and a lot of rattled nerves.

This is not the first time this year that an impact event has been underreported

Saw this vid the other day. If it's an accurate representation, looks like it's just a matter of time for a big one.
There's two small ones passing within the Moons orbit today, in fact.

That is odd. Sometime in the last 24 hours I read about 2 asteroids harmlessly passing by Earth, yet no mention of that...

I don't think it is such a huge deal this wasn't reported internationally. Sure it is a rather big meteor impact, but no-one as far as I could tell was hurt by it. Probably the remaining rock was the size of a bath ball as it hit Colombia. Would be an awesome thing to witness though I am sure. But it was nothing like the Tunguska meteor in 1908 that flattened 1000's of sq.km of Siberian Forrest...
