Read this article:
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2008/04/16/1208025229770.html

It wasn't that he tried correcting an error it was this statement on the article that shocked me:


Quote:
Both NASA and Marquardt agree that if the asteroid does collide with Earth, it will create a ball of iron and iridium 320 metres wide and weighing 200 billion tonnes, which will crash into the Atlantic Ocean.

The shockwaves from that would create huge tsunami waves, destroying both coastlines and inland areas, while creating a thick cloud of dust that would darken the skies indefinitely.


Year 2036 they reckon.

That depends whether you are religious or not.
