99942 Apophis - The actual menace from space

[Bells]

I'm pretty sure some of you already know about this fully well, i do for quite some time. But ever since the whole 2012 "bang" with the movie i wanted to talk about it, so, here it is.

For those who have no idea about it, just a quick recap.

A Huge Meteor is actually coming to earth with a decent chance of hitting us. The Apophis is the size of the Rose bowl Stadium in the US, so...



...This.

It is stated that by April 13, 2029, Apophis will come so close to earth, that it will be the closest biggest object to ever come to earth. It also will allow scientists to study it's trajectory by then to verify if it WILL hit earth on 2036.

So, if it hits... what then?

Well, it depends on it's orbit at a time. But once it's confirmed that will Hit earth, it can have a Ground Zero impact in any of the following places



And i would like to talk about what could happen if it hitted any of these places, but i would rather let an expert talk for me about THAT.


So, by 2036 i'll be 51 Years old when this goes down, and there is a chance of nothing happening or i'll see a chunk of somewhere in the globe getting sandblasted away.

Awesome?
