Wow, now that has to be some really slim chances. Quoted in the article as being "billions to one."

My question, wouldn't that seriously injure you?

Hmmm.. Very interesting.. Im wondering the same question as you are, lol.. It is very small, but falling from that distance should cause some kind of injury!

haha, I remember a story about some car being hit by one and then it was worth a few million dollars.

That is just luck She had "better odds of winning the lottery", wow.

I only know of one other lady getting hit by one.. it went thru the roof hit a wall bounced hit her radio then hit her in the leg while sleeping on the couch if I remember correctly (heard that on a AFN commercial Goverment funded TV for people stationed outside the US)

Once that thing hit our atmosphere wouldnt the wind actually slow it down? Specially how small it has burnt down to? wouldnt it like float down in a sence? Like a quarter dropped in water?

Im not sure just my opinion.

Phen - Ya, it's also in the Guinnes book of world records. Only living person hit by a meteorite. Apparently she's no longer alone.

lol... $20 says the original sues the new girl it will be for emotional stress while waiting for the results to come back

( I think I saw a pic in the Infomercial... she looked fairly old when she got hit... I figure she is gone by now...?)
