Meteor Crater in Winslow, Arizona (Barringer Crater) is only 50,000 years old. If an equivalent asteroid hit a major city today it could kill millions.
Or it could land in a deep ocean trench and we might possible not know it happened....maybe not even devastating waves.
True. Well, when global warming goes the way of the ozone hole, peak oil and acid rain we can remind people about the Meteor Crater in Winslow, Arizona. If there's a massive change in the number of Asteroid coming in our direction - then it needs to be looked at. Other than that this is another white liberal elite sky is falling bit of hysteria.
