A series of explosions in the skies of Russia’s Urals region, reportedly caused by a meteor shower, has sparked panic in three major cities. Witnesses said that houses shuddered, windows were blown out and cellphones stopped working.

That's so coool!

Between the drones and the meteors, we're every one of us lucky to be alive!

Meanwhile... in Russia...
