    Wow, seems like a miracle that there were no casualties. Hope the ones in hospital recover soon and are eventually discharged. I was awake at the time and think I would have been able to see it from my bedroom window had I looked out at the right time.

    The whole sky, round about 0130 changed into what it would look like as if it was say 5-6pm in the evening. It was well epic I have to say, To Be honest at first I thought either it was a explosion; aeroplane or something, or a Meteor burning up (didn't help that I was watching BBC, and the documentary was about meteors )

    Wow that is crazy! I absolutely saw the sky light up for a minute and thought I was just seeing things... Great news no one was killed.
