>From a comment at this site, an article and graphic from The Telegraph
in the UK:

showing the location of the zinc factory. "According to the Russian
Academy of Sciences the meteorite was "very strong" and probably made of
iron.".

     "A warehouse wall at a zinc factory in the industrial city
     collapsed from the force of the shock wave and almost 300
     buildings had their windows blown out."
