WOW!! Where's my camera and my vocation agent when I need them?...
If I had a chance I would go and look at it with the pair of binoculars :) Lucky you people, who will be able to see it! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to see something like this pass so close :)

This asteroid is going to pass as close to earth as Kerry is to the Presidency. You'll need binoculars.

Here is another way to look at this.
The average velocity of the earth in orbit is 18.5 miles per second.
If the miss is 26500 miles then we miss by about 24 minutes.
