Definitely not a bad idea.  Russians started the trend of regular drivers installing dash cams because of the corruption with law enforcement, and they deal with poor roads and road conditions so accidents happen more often.

This is a good one, looks like it blew out his window.

I'm guessing the meteor broke up and created a bunch of low elevation sonic booms?

You mean like a hole in the ground?  There isn't one hole in the ground, it blew up miles above the earth.  There are reports of some 20-foot craters from where smaller peices of it his after it blew up.  However, there is probably an area on the mountains where it knocked over a bunch of trees.

Heres the story of the 1908 one that also blew up over Russia.

No fire ball, smoke can do some weird things with light and no wind.
