Russia hunts for meteorite fragments
A search team arrives at a frozen lake on Saturday to look for fragments of the meteorite that hit the area the previous day. Divers searched the frozen Lake Chabarkul in the Chelyabinsk region of Russia but failed to find any large fragments. NASA says the meteor exploded miles above the earth's surface and released 500 kilotons of energy--about 30 times the size of the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima in World War II.
