From somewhere in the stratosphere, there is a rumbling.
Tonnes of compressed rock and ice have lost their battle with the Earth's gravity, and, with inexorable slowness that all-too-soon becomes a screaming burning rattling race, begin to tumble towards the planet's surface. Pieces flake away, smoking and curling with the heat. The meteor glows, red, then white, then a colour so bright it'd burn your eyes just to look at it.
The atmosphere is putting up a good fight, but it's still a sizeable chunk of space debris that hurtles along on its collision course with Toronto.
Then--
--impact.
