Dear Mike and List,
  Thank you Mike for the compliments!
  From the reports by the Japanese observers it fragmented several times (visible in several of their videos) during flight. It is unlikely that any meteorite survived but still possible. The main body of the fireball was thought to have likely fallen into the Sea of Japan.
  Best Regards, Dirk...Tokyo
