What do you guy's think is going on?, maybe it has something to do with 2012 DA14.

Scientist have already said it has nothing to do with 2012 DA14.

Its just like that Tunguska meteorite.

Actually, wasn't the Tunguska meteorite about the same size as 2012 DA14?

It was just sheer coincidence that it happened to be the same day.

Four amazing videos of the meteor that burned up yesterday over Chelyabinsk, a city in Russia:

And a follow up article from Bad Astronomy:

"The direction and timing of this event make it very clear it was not related to the passage of 2012 DA14 today. This is a coincidence."

And this has many interesting comments and information:

There's another one that happened around Cuba, a coincidence I doubt it, I think 2012 DA14 just is not alone, and there's more out there.

it's probably DA14, just the fragments, as smaller meteorites would have burned up and NASA would've spotted larger ones.

DA14 passed earth dude...
This one is unrelated.

Yeah, it's just that the Russian one was a spectacular one and made a huge media footprint.

Also, the linked site doesn't really work for mobile.
