WTF !! - ASTEROID Impact With EARTH 02.15.2013 ?? - Is This The End ?? | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 31493748  Croatia01/04/2013 03:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Look at Meteor crater in Arizona, what caused that was about the same size as this one. Quoting: Keneh  The big hole in the ground -- 570 feet deep and 4,100 feet (1.25 kilometers) across -- was blown into existence 50,000 years ago by an asteroid roughly 130 feet (40 meters) wide.

We will know a impact target within a week of impact anyways, so even if it does hit it a city, it will be mostly evacuated besides the dumb asses that always stick around. If it hits in a non populated area, we're going to have some awesome video of an impact. Sounds pretty exiting tbh. |

| Here for the moment User ID: 14554879 United States01/04/2013 04:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This one may hit Earth, but it is only 57 meters. A BFR (big f'in rock)for sure, but not near large enough to do any real damage globally. Feel sorry for those within 250 miles of the impact site. Seems like I read recently that it is large enough to take out several square miles with absolute destruction. |

| Dr. Astro Not to be confused with Phil Plait User ID: 5164873 United States01/04/2013 04:25 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anyone else get deja vu from this? Quoting: MzTreeChick A small asteroid that will pass between the Earth & Moon but will be closer to the Earth than the Moon, wont be able to see it unaided, it poses NO THREAD to us... I'm sure I heard this back in 2011. The boy who cried wolf anyone... A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains. The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep"; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock. There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth. The lesson you should have learned from that story is to not cry wolf when there is no wolf. Clearly that lesson has not been learned, even after 2005 YU55 safely passed us exactly as scientists (myself included) predicted it would. This is yet another example of a false wolf. On February 15th it will miss us, guaranteed. Worst case scenario it could take out a satellite, but it's extremely unlikely that it would even do that: There's no reason to be crying wolf about this thing, it just further degrades the credibility of those who do.  |

| BAD WOLF User ID: 30099585 United States01/04/2013 05:25 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | May not do alot of damage if it does hit but will do some. The question is is where would it hit if it does. Since it could hit a populated area and kill those people. That is if it does hit, which probably won't but never know about these things.

| Hardwired User ID: 30756078 United States01/04/2013 05:30 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The average interval between impacts of this size somewhere on Earth is 235.2 years Quoting: mathetes TUNGUSTA!! YES Tunguska was bad, very bad. If it would have happened over New York City, it would have flattened all buildings within 830 square miles. It only happens over NYC (or any populated area) in movies. Chances of it striking over a densely populated area are less than 1%. 70% chance it impacts over the ocean and is not noticed. Splashdown would cause some wave activity, though. |
| OICU812 User ID: 20892214 United States01/04/2013 06:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No risk, in the grand scheme of things, asteroids this size hit the earth every 200 years or so. Quoting: 404error No risk... unless it lands on you.  "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."

Mixed in there is the War which is already taking place wether you call it third or not. Its been ongoing since Afganistan. But we need one missing ingredient.

You seem to have missed my point, IMO THEY are the snot-nosed lil kid crying wolf all the time, hence the deja vu. As I put in RED above, I believe that they do this constantly so when they do finally tell the truth we wont believe them. I think they are counting on us to not believe them. IMO the moral is BE THE WOLF!   |
