I have never seen a fireball come so low in the sky. I am almost posive that a portion of this fireball would have hit the ground.

Remarks
Saw some fragments being thrown off of fireball. There was one distinct explosion which threw off some extra fragments, but the main fireball kept descending. I did not see the termination as the fireball went behind the house next door.
