  Is it just me, or is there always house/techno/trance playing in Russian dashboard videos?

    Their is a continuum between dance music and mainstream pop music in Europe in the same way their is for hip hop in the states. So it's not unusual for it to be played on standard pop radio stations.

I'm not sure the meteor hit the zinc plant. Considering how loud the sonic booms were it's possible that they caused enough structural damage to an old brick building to result in a partial collapse. I wish we had more information. Edit: on second thought, it could easily be a fragment, we'll see.
