I guess space constitutes a different version of “really close”, than I do.

“I guess space constitutes a different version of “really close”, than I do.”
I think the point is that it takes just ONE, small, navigation error and one of those damn things will crash into Earth.

Well, if it hits us, I won’t have to go to work again...

200k miles is nothing. Scary close. And this is one is suspected of being up to a 1000 feet in diameter?
Imagine a 1000 foot iron rock impacting a land mass coming in at about 25 milers per second

People scoff at these things but eventually one of them will hit us. Hopefully by the time that happens we will be able to deflect them and swat them away like flies.

Hitting ocean (or polar icecap) would be worse...

Kilometers mean nothing to me.
I know, I could translate it to American if I was really curious how close these asteroids will come.
But I think I’ll just wait for the American version of this story.

"It is expected to fly by around 366,000 kilometres away from the planet, indicating that it will actually be closer to Earth than the Moon that’s around 384,400 kilometres away."The moon will protect us. That's why it's there!
(okay, so I've been watching the Outer Limits...)

According to some computer models, an 850 foot diameter object/asteroid, traveling at about 25 milers per second would create tsunami waves of about 800 feet high.
It all depends of the object size, mass, angle, speed etc...

Redirect the trajectory of at least one of them towards Afghanistan!

The hazard is humans, as always. Humans who might place rocket engines at just the right spot on a grazer asteroid to give it a last-minute nudge towards a selected spot on Earth.
It will happen, just a matter of when.

"It is expected to fly by around 366,000 kilometres away from the planet, indicating that it will actually be closer to Earth than the Moon that’s around 384,400 kilometres away."
But only 18,000 kilometers distant from the orbit of the moon? That could be interesting. I hope the timing is right.
