Duh? As I have been saying all along the impact from behind of a second object caused the detonation and also deflected the main mass causing it to fall 10 meters or 16.5 degrees away from its expected trajectory. Meteorites unless deflected will land falling nearly perpendicular to the earths surface. The 1.9 ton main mass of Jilin made a hole in the ground perpendicular to the earths surface. The second object of Cherbukul also split the vapor trail as it caught up to and impacted the main mass at mach7
