Reminds me of the shuttle launch with solid boosters. The meteorite was tumbling and breaking apart due to friction of atmosphere. The delay in the sound was just due to the altitude. It took quite a while, about 40 secs for the shock wave to reach the ground. Very cool!

Wow! I hope some meteorites can be recovered for the scientific community. I’m curious. I also hope that Chelyabinsk is ready for the meteorite hunters and their meteorite money! Good luck to them.
