Something will happen.

More fear porn.

Trump’s a dealmaker. What would the Chicoms give us if they needed us to shoot it down?

[Pontiac]

“If you put it over Paris or London or New York, you basically wipe out the whole city and some of the environs,”

It’s probably too much to hope for.

[No name given]

As usual for the left.

[Eccl 10:2]

Trump’s fault. Global warming. God’s retribution for J6.

Quick give Nasa hundreds of billions of dollars to protect us” Screams NASA

In the fine print “The likelihood of impact now stands at 1.6%...in 2032”

they will first steal technology from us to figure out where it may impact. if them, they will beg for help and if us they will actually like we are idiots and wait. Americans really have no clue.

Did you notice the “potential crash sites”? They include the eastern Pacific Ocean, northern South America, the Atlantic Ocean, Africa, the Arabian Sea, and South Asia.

[dfwgator]

Yes!!!!!

I do not like to worry about things I cannot control. I put it on my calendar for September 2031 to check back and see if its a problem. My mortgage will be paid off in January 2032 so if its gonna hit, it would probably be after that.

"The secret of life is to replace one worry with another!" Charles Schultz IIRC (Tongue in cheek...)

I PRAY it hits china.

[Bratch]

Does this mean we can stop worrying about Climate Change?

[Sawdring]

Don’t worry, after you pay your mortgage off you will learn your home can act as collateral for an investment property.

[posterchild]

I guess I should take Social Security at 62 rather than wait.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

That narrows it down, doesn’t it?

[Adder]

Do we know what city?

Charlotte: OH no! New York? Lets watch!

[KarlInOhio]

So the Western Pacific is safe?

moving at a speed that would meet Earth by December 22

Odd phrasing. Usually the exact date of nearest approach is known. With a 1.6% chance of impact, that gives cross section area of 61 times Earth's cross section, or a location uncertainty of a circle about 32,000 miles.

The actual big one will sink 1/3 of the ships in the sea and kill 1/3 of the marine life.
