would cause a significant amount of damage and mass extinction.

Sort of doubt the mass extinction hysteria part.

The 540 metre space rock is the same size as the World Trade Centre

Yup. a 540 metre rock will destroy the earth...

...and a 115 grain piece of lead is similarly harmless.

Well, the WTC as it stood, or as a pile of rubble? Either was, an asteroid that large is going to leave a mark. However, it would lose quite a bit of mass hitting the atmosphere. So it would only suck, a lot.
