Tsunami nearly hit us due to an Asteroid.
Thanks to God, because we are still alive as a 30 to 50 meter wide in size named asteroid 2009 TM8 passed by only 216,000 miles from Earth, racing at 18,163mph which is closer to us than the moon glowing so bright which you could see it through the cloud. If it happen to hit into the ocean, it would have created a huge ever Tsunami which will end up the total world population and changed our earth into a huge empty football field ever created.
The Sydney Morning Herald says that if it would had been headed towards a densely populated part of the world, creating a 40 kilo tonne explosion in the earth atmosphere and we would have had only 24 hours to act and evacuate. Well,we are so lucky that it never hit us. Further more we always expect an object of this size travelling within the orbit of the moon every few days or so.
That's what Don Yeomans—manager of the Near-Earth Object Program Office at Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California—said talking about 2009 TM8 and the other 7 million objects in the near-Earth space which, "needless to say we have discovered only a small fraction of them."
Great. At 30 feet, something like 2009 TM8 is not as big as the killer Apophis or as the superkiller that can destroy everything on Earth. Sky and Telescope says that it was about twice the size of the altitude of our communications satellites.But who cares about destroying everything when this thing is large enough to annihilate Brooklyn.
