I hear it's getting closer.. Are you all REALLY prepared for a asteroid / comet impact ?

Read the link in the OP. 

"The Sentry Risk Table estimates that Apophis would make atmospheric entry with 750 megatons of kinetic energy.[3] The impacts that created Meteor Crater or the Tunguska event are estimated to be in the 3–10 megaton range.[40] The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was the equivalent of roughly 200 megatons and the biggest hydrogen bomb ever exploded, the Tsar Bomba, was around 57 megatons. In comparison, the Chicxulub impact has been estimated to have released about as much energy as 100,000,000 megatons (100 teratons)."

Hopefully it hits Omurica.

It won't hit italy so I don't mind for now. Lemme know if there is some zombie apocalypse after that.

I believe you. Nasa stands for "never a straight answer".

If this thing hit a city? What would happen? Or this will hit on pacific ocean? What countries would be affected and how high the tsunami might be?

We know squat..
Comet ISON was unknown until a matter of months of it screaming in at us a few years ago.
It was a non-reoccuring orbit style comet.
It also lost it's media attention because the Russian Chelybinsk meteor hit us..stealing media coverage.
Point i'm making is ISON flew by us in between us and the moon.
Meaning it was close !
And it wrapped around the sun and made it's way back out to space.

Scientists were debating when and if it would break-apart from the heat of the sun.
They thought if it did it would have happened before it wrapped around the sun.
But what happened was it made it's way around and on the way back out
it randomly exploded.. like a bomb !
Scientists were stunned !
They said it was a good thing that it didn't happen on the pass by on it's way in.
It would have had an effect on us all..

We heard of it in a matter of months before.. our (break-up) predictions were off.
And we got lucky.. for now.

Also If the angle of the Chelybinsk meteor was tilted more it would have been as explosive
as the nukes dropped on Japan.. and that was the size of a washing machine basically.

back in 2003 roughly i seen one that size light up my sky..
I was playing Counter-Strike at like 2:30 am on a Saturday night when i noticed
windows on every side of my house lit up like it was day light.. full sun noon brightness.
I bolted up and started running to all my windows but they were covered with layers of material
to block out the summer heat and keep my air conditioning bill down.. and the light was still coming through.
I managed to run outside as it was starting to fade and as far as i could see in all directions it was full day light.

The next morning there was a lot of news reports from American News stations we in Canada get.
(Surveillance cams had caught the thing all over.. so there was a bunch of videos of it.)

Turns out the washing machine size impact landed somewhere in Oregon / Washington State USA.
And it made it day light in my country Canada ..that is how fucking bright it was !
Fragments were found on the ground..
That night i actually considered a Nuclear weapon had gone off in the USA.
I really couldn't think of any other explanation and i could tell it came from that direction.

When i was camping few months back i seen a fireball in the sky and when i checked out spaceweather.com
it was confirmed and 20+ had been tracked.. turns out they are common the site said.
first time i ever seen one though.. They look crazy !!!

I was out having a smoke one day at my last place i rented / lived at couple years ago
and i seen a crazy streak up in the sky from horizon to horizon..
I googled it and it was the space station making a predicted crash landing.
The decommissioned one from around 1975.
What a sight.. crazy stuff !
I have been lucky like that a lot.. first step is just looking up LOL

It's what the thing is made of.  If it were 325m of marshmallow, people wouldn't really care.   

The diameter is only 325 meters? I think this is not big enough to end human kind. This thing could explode on midair.

(picture link is from Wikipedia)
I thought you lived in Vancouver from some old post i seen you made before.
Anyway jeez if you got a Tsunami in Alberta that would be one big ass Tsunami LOL

I lived on the island way back and moved.. i didn't feel comfortable living on the ring of fire on an island
Earth quakes were not unusual and i lived right on the ocean in a condo.

If a tsunami could reach Alberta it would be bad news for me.
in Kelowna here i am east of Alberta closer to the ocean.
they did say in that Wikipedia page it would trigger a big tsunami too *if it hit in our line of sight / area.

i seen a documentary showing how scientists were stumped for decades how the trees were leveled
along the coast of BC all the way up to Alaska..
In modern times we realized it was a tsunami and it was about 120 years back or so roughly.
Soil samples proved it and old reports from Alaska confirmed it.
So...
Not long ago it happened.
It was so big we didn't know what it was LOL
Aftermath of a tsunami !

Another off topic remark
Ever heard of the year with out the sun ?
People heard of this from old medieval tales and myths and thought well it's probably bs.
Nope it happened !
Modern science went out to search for proof and they found it across the globe.
The biggest proof was finding black internal dead rings inside large trees around the globe.
That are easy to date..
So it seems when people way back claimed the sun vanished for OVER a year.. it really did happen !
Inside the trees was crystal clear and undeniable proof that some hardcore event happened at the time said.
500 years ago..

I laugh when modern scientist go on TV and say none of this stuff happens.
They try and say there is nothing to worry about and big events only occur every few MILLION years
uhh try a hundred years LOL
..morons  

According to your impact map, living in Alberta I don't have much to fear from Apophis, UNLESS it strikes the Pacific Ocean.  I think the ensuing Tsunami might be large enough to hit me.

It's more lies Vod.. it's a conspiracy i tell you dammit !
and yeah i seen that too on the wikipedia page.

but guys would Nasa tell us anyway if they knew ?
no way they would !

Nasa has a track record of dishonesty..
Take the Alien red rain incident.
When scientists from around the world asked them to check out some meteor and red rain samples (from India)
they refused to take part.. couple years back they issued a statement in writing to a professor.
Saying they don't have the means or the interest or the budget to get involved.

Lies..

they do have interest in finding alien life in space rocks.
they do have the equipment to check the rocks / water samples..
they do have the budget, man power, equipment and expertise to check rain or rock samples.

what they don't have is the motivation to go on the record saying we have proof of alien life.

search up Red Rain guys
i seen a show that talks about it.. The Unexplained Files - S01E06 - Alien Rain, Beach Boom & Voynich Manuscript

they are not dust or blood cells.. they are self replicating simple cell organisms that emit radioactive material.
that also happen to be extreme heat resistant. these life forms fell from the sky in the rain after a meteor
was reported to have entered the atmosphere and exploded..
(fragments were found and seem to show the same cell's in the rock with extreme magnification)

I'd say the clincher is that these cells replicate on their own but contain no DNA !
This is not possible on Earth.. all life has DNA (except these replicating cells apparently)
Supposedly these things left uranium as a waste product too.. WEIRD !

We have proof of Alien life on earth.. but people refuse to look it in the eye.

"Any impact would be extremely detrimental to an area of thousands of square kilometers, but would be unlikely to have long-lasting global effects"

This is the path of risk..

I can't wait!
Wanna bet where it hits?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99942_Apophis

- Highest Torino scale rating ever.
- Nasa has lied about it's danger from day 1.
- 2029 it will hit a key hole and then us next time it comes back.

Prepare to die.
