There’s a 75% chance it wont hit a landmass. Landing in one of the oceans might create one helluva tidal wave though.

I hope it plops down in the Indian Ocean (sorry Australia).

However, if the meteor was at just the right angle, at the right speed, and has the right composition and mass, it could pass on through the water and into the seafloor ... huge tsunami plus fireball throwing matter into the upper atmosphere.

Funny how that's never accounted for. An ocean strike would also create beaucoup water vapor, a much more potent global warming agent than CO2.
