Meteorite fragment surfaces

Summary: Remember that meteorite that crashed into Russia earlier this year? (This story) Divers have now recovered the fragments fromt he bottom of the lake and will commence studies. This is the largest fragment of the meteorite found thus far at five feet in diameter; it is within the ten biggest meteorite fragments ever found. No weight has yet been established as the rock broke into three pices when lifted from the ground and then proceeded to break the scale when it hit 570kg.
