If the meteorite doesn't hit you...
... the sonic boom from it will.
We're blaming the Pope, of course.
UPDATE, 6:48 a.m.: More details here and here. If something like this can cause this much damage, shouldn't we have robots warning us before it hits? Maybe Tri-Met can put something on the buses to track these objects.

Then there's the asteroid that's going by earth today. Astronomers say it will miss by 17,000 miles - about as much as a Dwight Howard free throw.

You tagged the Pope alright but how does GW figure into all this? Maybe Obama will tell us later.

Watching some of the video made me wonder if something like this had happened 50 years ago during the Cold War could it have triggered a nuclear missile strike.
