AN ASTEROID the size of the World Trade Centre is on a dangerous Earth-bound orbit that could see the rock smash the planet during Christmas festivities.
The asteroid, known as 216258 2006 WH1, is set for its closest approach to Earth on December 20 - just days before Christmas. The 540 metre space rock is the same size as the World Trade Centre and would cause a significant amount of damage and mass extinction.
... The asteroid hasn’t yet been measured on the Torio Impact Hazard Scale, but will likely be listed as a serious threat when and if it is added.

It's about 1..5 times. . I saw another report a couple of weeks ago that had the 15 times figure. So which is it. . . Or is it even smaller? Inquiring, and perhaps soon to be very worried and untrusting minds, want to know. Did you notice that this article is claiming this was just discovered but the catalog name is from 2006? That means the orbit of this asteroid has been known since then. Another FAKE NEWS hyped article.

Oh, no!!! It can't be so. An asteroid could hit the Earth tomorrow and we would all be ! Haven't I said this for years? And now it is really going to happen. Oh, no!
