Instant Karma! Speeding e-scooter riders crash into each other after hurtling down pavement

Dashcam footage shows one cruising down the pavement and one quickly turning the street corner before they collide in wince-inducing face-to-face crash. Richard admits 'a side of him hoped they hit each other' and that he found the clip funny at the time because of their 'idiotic' riding. Click above to watch the full video.

Fireball appears to explode over Southeastern U.S.
A fireball, or an exceptionally bright meteor, appears to have exploded in the skies over the southeastern U.S. on Thursday. The American Meteor Society has received nearly 150 reports of a fireball spotted around 12:24 p.m. Eastern time. Most of the reports are from Georgia and South Carolina, though a few observers witnessed the event from Florida, Tennessee and North Carolina. In a video shared with Atlanta-based station 11Alive, a driver on Interstate 85 southbound in Upstate South Carolina captured the fireball on their dash cam. In the video, the meteor passed from the top left to bottom left of the frame with a slight rightward movement. Other local journalists shared similar videos on social media. The GOES East weather satellite logged a bright flash over the Atlanta metro around 12:24 p.m.; the satellite, which peers down from 22,236 miles above Earth, is designed to map lightning discharges. But there weren't any thunderstorms in the immediate Atlanta area; given the timing, it appears the flash was the meteor exploding. Coupled with other reports, it appears that if any material reached the ground, it would have been somewhere near the Georgia/South Carolina border in between Atlanta and Greenville in the foothills of the Appalachians. When an object is still in space, it's a meteoroid. If it enters the atmosphere, it's a meteor. Only if shards or fragments reach the surface is it deemed a 'meteorite.' The American Meteor Society is working to compile eyewitness reports to estimate the potential track and speed of the meteor. There have been a few unconfirmed reports of a booming sound being heard, which — coincident with the bright flash — suggests an explosion in the atmosphere. That would precede fragmentation. When a meteor enters Earth's atmosphere, it encounters air resistance. It may still be moving tens of thousands of miles per hour; that air resistance leads to incredible friction, which in turn generates heat. That leads to ablation, or a loss of mass. Some of the mass may vaporize. Sometimes, the periphery of a meteor fuses into an initially more molten material that quickly solidifies. Once an explosion and subsequent fragmentation occurs, the final steps of a meteor's fall toward Earth are sneakier — the meteor (or fragments) are cooler, and therefore no longer visible as streaks of light.
