    Pfft. Anything smaller than 340 meters isn’t worth getting out of bed.

      The way I understand it is the distant future part. Even if you calculate its orbit very well there’s always a level of uncertainty that grows with time, news outlets never show the error bars.

        Uncertainty shrinks with time.

          Uncertainty grows with increased extrapolated time, shrinks as time passes with updated measurements.

          Only if you keep making measurements

    Maybe the dust cloud will help the survivors cool off?

    At this point, perhaps many would be relieved?

    Well shit. I simulated it hitting NJ and it didnt seem world ending. Sorry NJ but if its guna hit anywhere then a state sized junkyard has to be the best possible scenario. Sincerely your neighbor: NY.
