People from all ages wearing bikinis and swimsuits skied downhill a 700-metre (765-yard) slope in the Sheregesh Ski Resort, in Novokuznetsk, Russia. To set a new record, 251 bikini-clad riders were needed. Participants from the Novosibirsk, Tomsk and Krasnoyarsk districts helped set the new world record for bikini skiing. Despite of the bad weather forecast, the temperature hit 20 C (68 F) and the sun was shining. Later in the evening, a ski beauty contest was held, where judges evaluated the sport skills of the skiers during the bikini ride. According to organisers of Monday's event, there is enough evidence in videos and pictures to submit them as proof of the record-breaking event to the Guinness committee for its consideration. The London-based committee will give its answer in three weeks time. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=19e_1366742197 Ruptly Russia: Record breaking Siberians hit the slopes in swimwear Bikini; Russia; Guinness World Record; ski; bikini skiing; beauty contest; girls; sport Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:34:00 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=9fe_1361837852 John Nada Nice Footage.

Surely it should have been detected by someone. Quite a few commentators in Russia indeed asked why the country needs all these early-warning radars if they could not detect something that large and threatening - it's worth keeping in mind that the explosion that accompanied disintegration of the meteorite was equivalent to about 500 kt. As far as I can tell, the early-warning radars never had a chance, but it wasn't their fault - the problem was that they were never supposed to detect objects that are coming from outer space. The picture above shows the estimated trajectory of the meteorite and fans of the Daryal radar in Pechora and Dnepr in Mishelevka. The fan of the Don-2N radar of the Moscow missile defense system can be seen as well (for other radars, see this post ). It's better to see this in Goolge Earth - here is the kmz file . I assumed for simplicity that the meteorite flew along a straight line - that's not quite correct, but should work for the purposes of this analysis. The AGI simulation of the trajectory based on the Meteosat-9 data shows that the meteorite came from the azimuth of about 60 degrees (they got the meteorite path wrong, in fact - it passed to the south of Chelyabinsk, not to the north). A different estimate suggests that the azimuth could be about 100 degrees, but that doesn't matter much in the end. The re-entry angle is taken to be about 15 degrees - this is what various photos show. As can be seen from the picture, the meteorite was out of the field of view of the Pechora radar and it was below the horizon as seen from Moscow, so the Don-2N radar could not see it either. The Dnepr radar in Mishelevka might have detected the meteorite if it looked up, but it didn't - as an early-warning radar its mission is to search the narrow strip of space just above the horizon, which a ballistic missile would cross if it ever comes. They don't (and shouldn't) much care about anything else. These radars are not supposed to search the entire sky on a continuous basis - it would be a waste of energy and would decrease the effective detection range. An early-warning radar could see objects at higher elevations (up to 34.5 degrees in the case of Dnepr) and does so if it is asked to track a satellite. But you have to ask and since nobody saw the meteorite coming nobody did. The Google Earth file also includes a fan of the Krasnoyarsk radar, which was supposed to close the proverbial "Eastern gap" in the Soviet early-warning radar coverage. As one can see, that radar would not have been able to see the meteorite either. The bottom line is that there is nothing wrong with the Russian early-warning system. The reason the meteorite was not detected by the Russian early-warning radars is very simple - it was not a ballistic missile. It still leaves an interesting question - what happens if you see a 500-kt explosion on (or above) your soil and have no idea what it is and where it came from. I guess we know now what the Russians do - they would rush to upload their dashboard camera videos to YouTube. http://russianforces.org/blog/2013/02/did_russian_early-warning_syst.shtml The local newspaper Znak reported the meteorite was intercepted by an air defense unit at the Urzhumka settlement near Chelyabinsk. Quoting a source in the military, it wrote a missile salvo blew the meteorite to pieces at an altitude of 20 kilometers. Regnum news agency quoted a military source who claimed that the vapor condensation trail of the meteorite speaks to the fact that the meteorite was intercepted by air defenses. The regional Emergency Ministry denied previous unconfirmed reports by local media that the meteorite was shot by the military air defenses. http://rt.com/news/meteorite-crash-urals-chelyabinsk-283/ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=06e_1361300861 plokiju Russian ICBM early warning system did not detect meteor russian, meteor, early, warning, detect, missile, intercept, rumor, Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:40:57 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6c3_1356100389 users Tram rams into truck in Krasnoyarsk, Russia.
