The scientists found 53 pieces on top and believe that the rest of it went deep down the lake.The explosion left a lot of damages and injuries and a video which was recorded at that time.Aside from that police are searching online for people selling fragments they've found for up to 4,000 dollars. They also say the meteor released about 500 kilotons of energy, 33 times more than the time US dropped the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima , Japan in 1945.
