Every time I see one of these, I think that I should get a dash cam.

I actually saw a similar large bolide over Poland last Sunday, also while traveling in a car. I think being in cars is what causes them, or something.
It's a crazy feeling when the immutable, dependable sky lights up like that all of a sudden - it's as if nature was waggling a finger at you, telling you it can kill you and everyone you love at any damn time it pleases, so you better keep some perspective on your life pretty please. :D

What caused the meteor crash in Thailand?
The meteor crash in Thailand was caused by a small asteroid or comet entering the Earth's atmosphere and colliding with the ground.
Were there any casualties from the meteor crash?
Fortunately, there were no reported casualties from the meteor crash in Thailand. However, there were some reports of minor injuries and damage to buildings in the area.
How common are meteor crashes?
Meteor crashes, also known as meteorite impacts, are relatively rare events. It is estimated that a meteorite of significant size (over 10 meters) impacts the Earth's surface once every few years.
What are the potential dangers of a meteor crash?
The potential dangers of a meteor crash depend on the size and location of the impact. In a populated area, a large enough meteorite could cause significant damage and injuries. In addition, the impact could also release large amounts of dust and debris into the atmosphere, potentially causing environmental and health hazards.
How do scientists study meteor crashes?
Scientists study meteor crashes by analyzing the debris from the impact, such as fragments of the meteorite and the crater it creates. They also use remote sensing techniques to study the impact site and surrounding area. Additionally, scientists use computer simulations to better understand the effects of meteor impacts on the Earth's surface.
