Sorry, I didn't realise that it would update- the original one said that the meteorite caused a sonic boom felt mostly over the canterbury region and it was undetermined whether or not it actually landed, whether any damage was caused (it shook some buildings quite badly) and whether or not it was radioactive. I dunno about you folks over in the northern hemisphere but meteorites causing sonic booms over several towns and one (relatively) large city is quite uncommon here in lil' old NZ. You're right, though, the updated article isn't all that scary.
