BBC: Up to 950 injured from Ural Mountains blast shockwave

The BBC reports that nearly 1000 people have reported injuries from the air blast over the Urals in the Chelyabinsk region, 930 miles east of Moscow.

For reference: Russia, in (relatively) modern times, has had a bad track record with random objects falling dramatically from the sky.
