Dammit!

Surely by now, the experts would and do know the trajectory of this Asteroid.... the only way it could hit someplace now is if it was hit itself by some other rock and diverted!!
Its nearly 18,000 miles away so I think we will be safe!!

My thoughts exactly!
This is going to be the closest near miss ever, its going to be so close that it might be closer to the earth that some satellites are.
If you'd done some research you'd know for a fact that it will be closer than some satellites. Ugh.
Please research your facts before starting a thread.
Dude, check your attitude at the door. As a newer member you will find out that your arrogance won't be tolerated here for very long.

Less of the arrogance please. Not everyone is watching the news / tv/ internet 24/7.
Have some consideration for other members please.

With that mass coupled with velocity and Earth's gravity pull, should it hit on populated area, my guess is that at least one third of mankind would be wiped out.

I know how ATS works. I just can't stand when someone creates a thread without researching the entire topic. Why post something you really have no knowledge about? What happens if someone asks a question about the said topic? Does the OP send the questioner to google? Wouldn't you rather have the OP answer directly and straight away?
I agree, the comment is misplaced. I for one am glad this is posted. It is happening today so we need a tracking post for pics etc. Although I don't anticipate any issues with said flying rock it is still interesting nonetheless.
Additionally to the comments above regarding Nasa not being forthcoming......well apparently every comet or asteroid is suppose to hit earth and Nasa always lies about it, yet here I am writing this......
Regardless, even if it was to hit what would be gained by sharing with the world you are going to die. It would cause mass panic and all hell would break lose. The only thing gained by knowing is you get a couple hours to reach way way down and around to kiss your own ass goodbye. It matters not, if it hits we will know soon enough and if it doesn't well then it's business as usual. Either way I think its cool!
