ESA says this particular asteroid has a 1 in 7,299 chance of hitting us. You're more likely to get killed by fireworks, which is a 1 in 340,733 chance. If that's not a typo then we're much more likely to be hit by this asteroid then killed by fireworks.

Had to read it twice. Am guessing it means that the chances of being killed by it are less than by fireworks.

(The above is not a statement of fact. It is either opinion or satire. Or both.)

If that's not a typo then we're much more likely to be hit by this asteroid then killed by fireworks. But that was not the statement. The statement was the likelihood that an individual would be killed by it, not whether it would hit Earth or not.
