That's why I always take a bomb with me, every time I fly: the odds against there being two bombs on board are astronomical, so I know I'm statistically safe.
NASA has revised their size and energy estimates for the Russia meteor upon review of further data. Scientists now believe the small asteroid was about 17 meters, or 55 feet, in diameter and had a mass of 10,000 tons. The revised estimate of energy unleashed by the meteor is about 500 kilotons, more than 30 times the blast yield of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
No-one has ever been injured or killed by a meteorite before.

Excellent point GGShinobi .
This is some really amazing footage - talk about exceedingly lucky to have caught it on video! Russia must have some target painted on it saying "right here asteroids and space potatoes, right here" .

Even discounting the dinosaurs, that statement isn't correct.. before the Russian incident, there have been at least two (possibly three) people injured and one death known to have been caused by meteorite strikes.
