Was it big? did it break up? it hit the ground? found under the tranpolin?.........stupid questions, it cannot land unless it made a hole in the tranpoling, it crashed next to the brat....so.....how big is the hole?........looks to me that the writers get paid by the words in the article and not for the article itself.
A "freak" meteor shower?.....where is the meteor land if it is not down?
==============================================
The rocks landed just inches away from where Sarah Marston-Jones' son Harry, aged two, and Benjamin, four, were playing.
Ms Marston-Jones said they were lucky to be alive after at least 15 rock fragments peppered them as her children played on a trampoline.
They had been enjoying the sunshine when there was a "whooshing and cracking" sound and a strong smell of burning, according to Ms Marston-Jones.
She said the brown and black coloured rocks, which also fell on the outside patio, ranged in size but some were more than an inch wide.
"We're still in shock - they missed the boys by little more than inches and we found fragments underneath the trampoline," Marston-Jones said.

"I don't know if it was some sort of meteor shower or just one fragment which cracked on impact but I turned around and took one step before hearing this whooshing and cracking sound coming through the hedge and tree and you could hear lots of dropping sounds on the patio.
"Benjamin was saying 'get me off the trampoline' and at first I thought a spring might have come off it but there was this really intense burning smell followed by a smell which I can only describe as rotten vegetables."
She said the family had found around 15 rock fragments, some as big as an inch and a half, and warned that the freak event could have "killed one of our children".
Dr Caroline Smith, curator of meteorites at the Natural History Museum in London, studied photographs of the event but said that she could not be immediately be sure the rock fragments were from a meteorite.
In February a meteorite injured about 1,000 people after breaking up over central Russia. The space rock burned up over the city of Chelyabinsk, with the shockwave blowing out windows and rocking buildings.
Numerous videos of the fireball were taken with camera phones, CCTV and car-dashboard cameras and subsequently shared widely on the web.
