<i>Debris also reportedly fell on the west Siberian region of Tyumen.<br />

Governor Yurevich reported that the meteor had landed in a lake 1km outside Chebarkul, which has a population of 46,000.<br />

A Russian army spokesman said a crater 6m (20ft) wide had been found on the shore of the lake.</i><br />

      <![CDATA[Russians have dash cams in large part to protect against pedestrians who run in front of/into the side of their cars or smash broken cell phones or laptops against the car and then demand compensation.

Hopefully there are no serious injuries from any of this.
