Then it stopped climbing and appear to be coming towards us, a white cloud extending outwards and growing in size from a bright white centre .

An amazing first time experience from the cockpit - glad all the bits missed us!..... see following Russian Newspaper article... failed Rocket+Satellite combo launch
According to initial reports, the remnants of the spacecraft were expected to crash near Tobolsk in the Tyumen Region of Russia. However within three hours after the accident, Interfax news agency reported that fragments of the spacecraft were found near Ordynskoe in Novosibirsk Region.
Soon, a report came that a fragment from the failed mission crashed into the residential house in the village of Vagaitsevo, some three kilometers from the Ordynskoe regional center in Novosibirsk Region. Ironically, what was described as a 50-centimeter sperical gas tank hit the roof of the house along Cosmonauts Street. Fortunately, nobody was hurt in the incident, Russian media said.
