In the skies over chelyabinsk, no one saw it coming. In this day and age, how is that possible . Kpix 5 sharon chin tells us the answer is pretty simple. Reporter a bussized fireball exploded across the russian sky. Dashboard video cameras captured the meteor soaring an estimated 33,000 miles an hour, with the force of two world war ii atomic bombs. [ sound of explosions ] reporter the explosion shattered thousands of windows and injured about 1,000 people in chelyabinsk. The sonic boom was felt in booms and classrooms. Astronomers call it cosmic coincidence that the meteor struck on the same day that an asteroid passed near the earth. But why did we know about the asteroid a year in advance, yet have no warning about the meteor . It just snuck up on us. Thats not unusual for the small ones. Reporter an astronomer at chabot space and Science Center says the meteor was too small to detect by radar. The meteor was only a third the size of the asteroid. The asteroid was about as big as a supermarket. He mckeegan says were lucky it missed us. Something like that hits the ground, it would be the equivalent of a two and a half mega ton nuclear bomb. Something that hit downtown San Francisco, it would wipe out most of the city. Reporter the meteor in russia smashed into an icy lake about 70 miles outside of town. Scientists say they will today the space rocks hoping to discover the origins of the solar systems. They say what happened today is a wakeup call to better detect asteroids and meteors heading our way. Some astronomers are organizing a privatelyfunded mission to build and launch a telescope that orbits the sun and tracks asteroids and meteors before they hit the earth. Im guessing somebody is going to organize a way to go into that lake and find out whats down there. Reporter absolutely. Because were talking about getting thousands of dollars, possibly more. What makes them more valuable is the fact that they were documented and caused damage. Platinum, ironbased, all kinds of different elements there. Yes. Good for profit and research. Thanks for that. We have posted more amazing video of the meteor at cbssf. Com. The word to women in one San Francisco neighborhood tonight . Watch out kpix 5s David Jackson tell us us about a guy who attacks women just walking down the street. David . Reporter thats right. Two women have been attacked and beaten here in the Mission District. Two very unusual attacks that have taken place a couple of weeks apart. And now the Police Department wants your help. Both attacks happened in the heart of the Mission District. Both in the Early Morning hours. And in each case, the attackers methods were exactly the same. A lone woman walks toward the man and is then grabbed from behind. No robbery. No sexual attack. Just a beating with fists. Police believe the same man was responsible in both cases. Victims describe this hooded suspect. And tonight, women say the streets of the mission are dangerous at times. I feel like, when theres not a lot of people around, people will search for people who are just walking alone. I try not to leave places late at night. I call for a lift or, you know, i walk out in the middle of the street instead of walking next to shadows and bushes, or ill walk with friends. You know, i have my, you know, tactics, i guess you could say. Im lucky nothing has ever happened to me. But i would assume it would be really dangerous around that time. Reporter again, police say this is a sketch of the Mission District attacker. And they ask anyone with information to contact the San FranciscoPolice Department at 4155754444. These attacks have occurred when the streets are dark and empty, close to 2 a. M. This is a time when women should not be out alone, police say, certainly not in the Mission District. And in another part of the city, police say a man armed with a hatchet attacked two men in their noe valley home. A neighbor heard a man screaming for help and saw a teenager running from the house in the 300 block of 27th street. Police say the men were tied up and the home ransacked. Officers are looking for three suspects. The two victims are expected to be okay. Well, the man who investigators say turned his house into a bombmaking factory had also sent Death Threats to senator leland yee. Before a judge today, kiet do learned more about this guy. Reporter ken, after talking to neighbors all week, the sense we get is this guy was all bark and no bite. Regardless, this is a truck full of evidence that investigators say would suggest otherwise. Neighbors call him weird, a wannabe, and a poser. Today we got our first good look at everett basham. At his arraignment, he corrected the judge on the pronunciation of his name and was about to say thing before his attorney told him to keep quiet. Hes a man who investigators say stockpiled weapons and bombs and lived like a horder. I can tell you, first of all, the most important thing is nobody was hurt. Reporter bomb technicians have spent the past four days in bashams home wading through clutter. They found a completely assembled bomb, ready to blow, and three assault weapons, and a highpowered rifle, like the one pictured here. Basham was allegedly upset over state senator leland yees proposed guncontrol bills and emailed a death threat detailing how, when and where the assassination would take place. The 45yearold apparently bragged about his extensive sniper training. Bashams parents lived nearby but declined an interview. People have been saying a lot of things about your son. Reporter hes been described as a brilliant engineer, albeit one who walked around in military fatigues and put a half dozen security cameras on his roof. The chp is confident they found everything. Its a huge sigh of relief. I got to take a deep breath. Okay. We were able to fill our obligation. Im excited to tell the neighbors, everything is good. Reporter and so pretty much everything that they have gathered this week is inside this truck. They have a couple more items to process. And they say they should be out of here finally by tomorrow. Basham should enter a plea by thursday. Live in santa clara, kiet do, kpix 5 news. The manhunt is over. Now the money demands.

The p22 long barrel with a surpressor was found in the snow this Christopher Dorner, the weapon that may have been used to shoot him may have been found outside. It was found in the snow this morning. Our sister station in los angeles, the only station to get a look at it. The San BernardinoSheriffs Office has the weapon now and is inspecting it. A Million Dollar reward was offered for information leading to dorners arrest and conviction. But tonight, there are questions about whether anyone will be able to collect it. Cbs reporter stacy butler explains why. I believe it was my call that directly led to the end of the largest manhunt in california history. Reporter fighting for the 1. 2 million reward. They need to do the right thing and pay it out. Reporter scout leader rick wants his fair share. It was Christopher Dorner and he was coming at me with a gun. Reporter Christopher Dorner carjacked his truck earlier this week, and he immediately called the San Francisco deputy that he knew was paroling the area. He says he told Police Exactly where to find dorner. Where did you tell them he was headed . Down glass road. And where was he ultimately found dead . Down glass road. Reporter he says hes entitled to at least half the money, to share with the couple that called 911 after dorner apparently tied them up. Hes worried that those who put up the reward may try to avoid payment, because dorner wasnt captured, but killed. If they dont pay that out, it kind of justifies some of the things that Christopher Dorner was complaining about regarding the city and the lapd. Reporter the lapd says theyve had so many inquiries into the award, they issued a statement. They said all of the entities will be coming together to collectively determine whether any individuals qualify for the reword. They say they must follow the rules in respect to procedures of each entity. Whats going to happen next time they put up a reward . Everybody is just going to laugh at them. A special ceremony at the white house today honoring victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. President obama presented medals to the families of the six killed. They gave their lives to protect the precious children in their care. They gave all they had for the most innocent and helpless among us. Ever since sandy hook, the president has promised to crack down on gun violence. After the ceremony, mr. Obama left for chicago to push his guncontrol plan. Military veterans coming back from war are ready to start a new life. And thanks to the gi bill, they have some money for college. But kpix 5s allen martin shows us that often these vets are left with nothing more than financial ruin. There are people out there who are less interested in helping our men and which in uniform getting ahead and more interested in making a buck. Reporter president obama urged Congress Last year to go after forprofit Educational Programs that take advantage of veterans. You will find overwhelming documentation of exorbitant tuition, abysmal student outcomes. Reporter but veterans still have little guidance when they head back to school. I dont think theres enough advice out there. Reporter the gi bill footed matts tuition at the academy of art university, but when he graduates, the air force says hes still going to face a big debt. I might be up to 70,000 in debt. Veterans with gi bill benefits really shouldnt need to take on this debt, and it can really haunt them if they make a mistake. Reporter vets are aggressively recruited because of a loophole in the socalled 90 10 rule. It requires schools to get 10 of their money through nongovernment sources. I think veterans and active Duty Service Members are sometimes shocked at the types of recruiting methods that theyre seeing. Reporter and schools are popping up where youd least expect them. Henley putnam university has a Graduation Rate of just over 50 . A Senate Report called for stringent oversight, but so far, no Government Action has been taken. The academy of art lost its eligibility to receive state grant money when its Graduation Rate fell below 30 . Still, it can get gi bill money. Historically, we average 34 Graduation Rate, according to the california commission, and 30 is what they expect. Reporter still, advocates urge veterans to seek out cheaper options, Like Community college. The transfer rates to fouryear colleges are among the highest in the nation. Classes go for just 31 a unit. Its an affordable option for them. Reporter in cupertino, allen martin, kpix 5. And we want to point out that over the years, employees of kpix 5 have been both instructors and students a at the academy of art. The weather is going to be changing next week drastically. Its going to be a whole different season basically coming up next week. But the season right now certainly isnt winter. So change is coming. Its going to get cooler. Its going to get wetter.

The radar currently is clear. That will be changing, but it likely will not change until the end of the Holiday Weekend. Temperatures will drop first. The rain will be falling from the sky after that. We could use snow in the mountains. Snow pack, down to 75 . We have lost a lot of that snow pack relative to what is average. Well be adding some next week, because the pattern is going to be changing. Tomorrow youre not going to notice that much of a change. It will be a chilly start, a mild finish. Warm for some of you, low to mid 70s in the south bay. Look at this ridge of high pressure, sending the storm track way up to the north, coming back down on the other side of the rocky mountains. Youll get another 70degree day with sunshine tomorrow. High pressure still keeping us dry. But its now down to our south, which will give us an onshore flow. Well drop down to the low to mid 60s on sunday. Upper 50s for highs on monday. Then here comes the front. Perfect timing, because the Holiday Weekend is over.
