Abstract
In February 2013, a meteorite dropped in Chelyabinsk, Russia [1]. Its mass was about 10kt, the size was approximately 17–20 m, and the speed was nearly 19 km/s. This meteorite induced a large-scale disaster, mostly by breaking window glasses, due to the shock wave impact. More than 1,000 people were injured over a region of 180 km in the north-south and 80 km in the east-west direction. A similar meteorite entry reported before was the Tunguska event in 1908.
