That was one of least accurate and most sensationalistic science articles I've ever had the misfortune to read.

I especially liked the last few paragraphs (below the pic of an object ~100,000 times larger than this asteroid hitting the Earth):

But in one of its next passes with Earth, experts suggest that 2012 TC4 may not miss. [It will, almost certainly. Even if it hit, it would be a non-event for 99.9999% of the Earth's surface.]

The near-misses coincide with end of the world fears. [Only the completely uninformed share these fears.]

Doomsayers believe a huge alien world called Nibiru or Planet X is hurtling through space towards us – and will hit tomorrow. ["Doomsayers" apparently believe a lot of nonsense.]

The planet will cause devastation on Earth with a direct hit or catastrophic near miss, believers warn. [The "believers" are delusional.]

It’s a British Tabloid.

It’s what they do...................and they do it well.............

Been done before. Noah's flood, the plagues of Egypt. Worlds in Collision, Immanuel Velikovksy, 1950.

...or catastrophic near miss,...

Such a near miss is documented in Worlds In Collision (Velikovsky, 1950). His theories have yet to be disproven.
