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.

Well hust how large we talkin. Will it only get new york or is there anyway to split it like armageddon to but instead of having it miss earth split it to new york, ohio and California
All the prep work will do little to save. Best is have a great party that day so if it happens you go out with a smile
Sounds like fear mongering to me!
Exactly, you get shattered drunk and tell the asteroid to go$#%&!@*itself.
Any way to redirect that puppy towards the south side of Chicago???
There is nothing to blame when nature does things.
“Asteroid” you mean covered up Terrorist Attack.
New York city same thing
If it hits a major city full of liberals and Democrats, is that really such a bad thing?
I’m with Fred. I’m not blaming God. I’m thanking him for those!
