If you were to ask somebody who studies space and things that come from space for a living, what would happen if a large asteroid hit Earth, and his response was “pray” it probably wouldn’t be very comforting. When posed with the question, Thomas Zurbuchen, the Associate Administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington not only said that, he also said that it’s not exactly a what-if scenario, but it’s a matter of when.
But don’t fret! There’s good news.
While an asteroid impact on New York could be devastating, it would seem that an asteroid impact in Los Angeles would be less devastating. Thanks to a simulation, which took place in El Segundo, CA, on October 25 they were able to figure out exactly how long emergency rescuers would have to evacuate a city. The emergency planners based their scenario on an object they tracked through space with an impact probability of 65%. However, there was a period of four months where they couldn’t track the object, making their findings shaky at best.

Earth is flat
Get hit everyday by them. Luckily just small ones
Don’t believe their idiotic fear campaign…….
No man will no the day or hour of the end. That knowledge is God’s. I will stick to that.
Your funny
The odds of Ca disappearing from earthquake are much higher….and yet you dont see an emergency to relocate or even warn them…..hmmmmm
Yawn!!!
Not until God says its gonna happen.
God only knows
Yup and there’s a 1% chance every year that a high energy wave (a sun spot) can strike the planet. The last one hit in the 1800s. It melted all the Telegraph lines to pudding. No one realy noticed. They pumped there own water. Had gas lanterns, and fire places. Now when the electrical grid goes down it will mean death to millions. In my opinion this will be the next real scenario. Gain your independence from the grid wile you still can.
