Coincidence that Russia got hit with a meteor just now, just as today we are due to get a close flyby of a 50m wide meteor?

Asteroid's pass near Earth a close call in cosmic terms only

And now comes 2012 DA14, a rock the size of an apartment building that on Friday will buzz the Earth at a distance of about 17,200 miles. It poses no hazard. It won?t generate the slightest breeze or disturb a single mote of dust meandering in a sunbeam.

DA14 is too small to see with the naked eye. Though it will pass just inside the orbit of communications satellites, the chance that it will obliterate anyone?s favorite TV show is vanishingly remote.
