Ok, so it didn't crash (apparently) into the ground but burned out in the air. But it turned nightime into FULL daylight (not joking..look at the pics and videos from the newsite link below) and it made a LOUD noise like an explosion. A lot of people thought there had been a terrorist attack. Certainly something very few people probably have ever experienced.
Incredibley awe inspiring as well as a bit terrifying!
