It probably just vaporized in the atmosphere.
Ironic I had just read about this about a month ago, shit could have been worse.
Tunguska Event
Irony: looking out your window to look at the flash of light in the sky, only to have the window shatter and fuck your shit up like 15 seconds later (if only people knew how to into physics, otherwise they would be like "oh shit shock-wave"!)
>implying I know how to into physics (it's a 4chan meme, so keep the grammar police away).

I'd just like to mention: one of the reasons it's unlikely that they intercepted it is this: the reason meteors and shit burn up in the atmosphere is because the friction disintegrates them because of how fast they are moving. I'm not sure we have many missiles that move at those speeds. 33,000 Miles Per Hour, (33,000/60)=550 Miles Per Minute, (33,000/60)= 9 and 4/30ths Miles per Second, or (9.13*1.6)=14.69 Kilometers per second.
That's fuckin fast.
A quick google search shows our fastest missile to be nowhere near those speeds.
But if you want to think it think it, i just wanted to put that into perspective.

I feel like knowing is half the battle. If we know it, it's path, and the time to look at. We can at least start thinking.
