Jet Has Close Call With Meteorite
Flaming debris that was moving so fast that it broke the sound barrier almost hit a jet plane that was landing in New Zealand.

A few years ago in Chicago, a meteorite crashed through a roof of a house and almost hit a sleeping man.
In both cases, it was a close call: according to the BBC News, “The New Zealand Herald newspaper calculated the debris missed the jet by a margin of 40 seconds.”
