Hey m8 all i say is shockwave doesnt do a hole in a ceiling
Was it falling objects which caused those other partial failures you've been shown?

You could have stopped right there.
You said a roof cannot partially fail. You are wrong.

Look at the whole length of the trail. The photographer pans it. It starts as a single trail, splits, then rejoins.
There are no two "identical" trails. Yes at one point there are parallel trails but that is what you would expect from a single object producing two trails, isn't it?

Correct me if I'm wrong....we never experienced an exploding asteroid before.
More or less: meteors are alive. Asteroids are dead. Meteors whiz through the cosmos.

More or less: meteors are alive. Asteroids are dead. Meteors whiz through the cosmos. Asteroids saunter. But now comets.....they're just dirty snowballs, right
But, whose to say what it is we saw today? Sure, it looked like a 'regular' meteor and it impacted like a normal meteorite. But could it have been remnants of an asteroid? I say...why not?

You are wrong.
Here's a smaller one last year.

Here's a really big one in 1947. Much larger than the one today.

First, those contrails streamed off of the meteor at around 18,000 mph. The were in no way shape or form fluffy, etc. They were like water shooting from a fire hose.
Take a look at a jet in the sky when it's contrails are streaming behind it.
Afterwards, you have 2 trails of billowing smoke that have now slowed, side by side. Same air currents. Same air density, Same air temperature.
I would be very suspicious if they did not have similiar characteristics.
But even so, given convection of currents, the particles making up that smoke trails in the end are still not exactly identical.
