If that had hit us................

Well, we know that something like this will hit the earth someday.

The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Revelation 8: 8-9

[onedoug]

...The disciples said to Jesus: Tell us how our end will be.
Jesus said: Have you then discovered the beginning so that you inquire about the end? For where the beginning is, there shall be the end. --The Gospel of Thomas

That's always seemed a bit haunting to me in that the beginnings of Earth were in meteorite bombardment.
