Half a block is pretty damned big, huh? big enough to take out a few thousand people, or more, depending on the impact site.

Its a big plane crash !! Nice fireworks !! but no Doom !! Nothing to see !! move on !! Aside from the fact that an airplane is a hollow aluminum structure, and plenty flimsy compared to similar sized objects, it's not the measurements that count so much here, it's the speed. If the object would totally vaporize before it hit earth, all that energy still has to go somewhere, and humans don't do well absorbing large amounts of energy, of any kind. Pressure waves, heat, seismic, other radiation. Of course, at those speeds, it takes a fraction of a second to punch through the atmosphere, so even a smallish object of that size is barely going to be affected by friction with the atmosphere. And while a plane might cover the same area during a crash, a stone that size is a bit different deal. Luckily, it will hit it's target so fast nobody will likely realize it, they'll just be gone. ~ ~ "He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words." ~Elbert Hubbard |

Quoting: Want2knowyPart of the problem though, is we really don't know what happens once things are over a certain size, simply because few really dangerous ones have hit since people figured all this out. Aside from some sheeting, it's always possible a large enough object would simply distribute the heat internally, and otherwise be unaffected during it's brief passage through the atmosphere. We can guess, we can look at past impacts and estimate, but until we see one coming, and can watch it arrive, and examine it's effects, it's guessing at best.

Toutatis is about 2.9 miles long and 1.5 miles wide (4.6 by 2.4 kilometers). It's a whopper. [link to www.space.com] It's passing way closer than 2004 but with no fuss. |

I saw Toutatis on the charts, but the Nominal and Minimal distance are the same, and relatively far away from us. XK3, on the other had, has a huge variance between the miss distance, which leads me to believe, they just ar not sure yet.
