Did meteorite strike Pentax Ricoh Imaging Company overnight?

Attention grabbing? Yes. Strike? No, not at PRIC anyway.

A nine tonne meteor exploding over Russia is said to have caused 100,000 sq meters of glass to break, a factory roof collapse, and a lot of shaken up folks.

From Russia with Love, here's a collection of photos (maybe one of them was taken by a Ricoh or Pentax... what are the odds?) and video.

Speaking of power, at least one wild-eyed ultra-nationalist politician is claiming the episode was actually the result of a new American weapons test. Sigh.

When the big one comes, which camera will we reach for?
