The Daily Express quoted Matija Cuk, an asteroid expert at UBC, in an article about an asteroid which passed by Earth on Monday.
Speaking about an asteroid that erupted over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk in 2013, he said that most injuries occurred when the blast destroyed windows and struck onlookers inside buildings.
“Fortunately, there are no reported deaths from the Chelyabinsk impact,” he said.
