List, 
 It is now confirmed that the Chinese news source that reported the damage and injuries got their story mixed up with the event in Russia.

Dear List,

Xinjiang Major Meteorite Impact Event 31JUL2013???

-Reports of a 3m x 2m crater - photos appears to be of something else in a junk yard
- reports of 1200 human injuries
- report of 100,000 houses damaged

Story very exaggerated.  News in China and especially in Xinjiang takes time to sort out and filter.
