Odds are about 1 in 40 of this thing hitting (current projected date Friday 13th April 2029)

Also - see just how doomed we would be with the handy impact damage calculator!

I'm not even close to being able to interpret that stuff at this time of the morning :lol:

Damn you man its to early in the day to understand all those figures :)

So should we be looking for a Bruce Willis and co types to go up and kill it? or will it pass us by.

Tbh by that time i expect us to either have advanced technology to take it out(i'm expecting alot of natural destructive events over the next couple of decades)or to have blown are own arses off:)

But hey according to the Mayans we only have seven years left so make love not war :)

its only 430m across, its not going to change the world drastically, just cause a big tremor and a bit of damage (depending on its impact velocity/angle).. oh, and it may well cause nitric acid and cyanide (i think) as it burns up, again dependant on angle + velocity of entry to the atmosphere.

It may not change the world on a global scale but an object of that size would still cause massive devastation and enormous loss of life if it struck the right spot on ocean or land. The Tunguska impact in 1908 (probable air-explosion) wiped out 2000 sq km of forest and the object was thought to be no more than 50m.

lets hope it hits the ice caps and speeds up global warming!
