| About this episode
At 9.20am one day in February 2013, an asteroid the size of a bus and travelling at 60 times the speed of sound exploded over Chelyabinsk in Russia. The blast was more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb and more than 1,500 people were injured by the shockwave. No-one saw it coming and it was a stark reminder of the risk Earth faces from meteorites. This film shows previously unseen footage of what happened and asks when it might happen again.
