Asteroid bypass may cause a large earthquake or tsunami
Despite feverish speculation from doomsayers, the near-Earth asteroid 2012 DA14 won't slam into our planet next year, NASA researchers say.

The asteroid, which astronomers estimate to be about 150 feet (45 meters) across, will give Earth an uncomfortably close shave on Feb. 15, 2013, coming nearer to our planet than the satellites we've lofted to geostationary orbit. But 2012 DA14 poses no real impact danger on that pass, according to NASA scientists.

Reguardles of not impacting the asteroid will cause a disturbance and creat an earthquake followed by a tsunami on Feb. 15, 2013 somewhere on the planet based on my intution.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

I'd like to go quietly in my sleep, like grandpa did. Not screaming in terror like the people in the back seat of the car he was driving.

But what if Nasa is wrong and it hits us? Remember Gravity!!!! Sure is a ..... when I am sky diving without a parachute
It is better to let the world go out of control so they can see their own fate just as I did 20 years ago

150 feet is nowhere near enough to cause an earthquake or tsunami OP.

Even if it impacted it would only cause localized destruction. It would be pretty bad, but not enough to cause the end of civilization.

If it is a solid iron asteroid it won't. There are prenty of those out there. If it is a porous asteroid it will burn up though.

It would still burn up. Maybe not all of it, but a lot.
