"Shock as NASA confirms asteroid TWO MILES wide will pass close to Earth in 48 HOURS"

[saintmichaeldefendthem]

This has been predicted countless times before, and each time it has been a bust. Complete hype on slow news days. Locally, in April 2014, we did have an entire mountain slide off, unannounced, killing scores of people and massive destruction. Obummer even flew out for it. How many times has the media reported we're in direct path of a meteor hit, or earthquake, or the entire west coast is about to fall of the continent into the Pacific? Must be a slow news day.

Yes, but unlike global warming which is a complete fraud, the fact is a asteroid WILL hit the Earth again. It's simple odds. A big one has the ability to end civilization as we know it and an even bigger one can end life. Man is the first creature that has evolved on this planet with the ability to prevent that sort of disaster from happening. Instead of wasting the countless billions upon billions of dollars that we are wasting on the global warming fraud, we should be pouring money into NASA and developing a asteroid defense system.

Luckily we will likely have Bruce Willis around for another few decades, but I fear for future generations who are going to be the architects of their own salvation without the grit, determination, and world class acting skills of Bruce Willis.

And Ben Afleck.

Every 'shooting star' is an asteroid 'hitting the planet' or just skipping off our atmosphere and back out. But asteroids hit us every day as the 'fireball sky monitoring' thing checks for. Every night a dozen or several dozen impacts occur. And just about once a week a minivan sized one hits with atomic bomb level intensity.

It's a real threat. Ask the Russians in Cherbylinksk (s).

If an Atom bomb went off every week I think we would know it.

I was thinking that too. The "Big boom in Siberia" which is the only plausible example of this, happened a century ago. And with that incident, the dominant theory involved a comet collision, not an astroid.
