It is unlikely this fireball was the result of the satellites colliding. Probably a bolide. Does anyone have any video of this event?

"What is causing concern is that this satellite is still fully fuelled and would be dispersed into the atmosphere if it descends fast enough.
It not known whether the satellite is carrying a nuclear power source, but experts have confirmed that it is carrying hydrazine rocket fuel which is toxic to humans."
US satellite on collision course with Earth - vnunet.com
"Two satellites collided with each other nearly 500 miles over northern Siberia. One was a 12-foot-long, 1200-pound U.S. telecommunications satellite owned by Iridium Satellite company in Maryland, serving as part of a 66-satellite network."
"The other was a Russian military satellite called Cosmos-2251, which hasn't been operational in a decade. It weighed more than a ton and, like many other Russian satellites, was powered by a NUCLEAR REACTOR. The collision on Tuesday created 500 to 600 new pieces of debris."
