My prediction......
The event will go largely unnoticed among the general public - astronomers will have a field day - and one small residence in Evesham will receive the wrath of a smallish chunk of TU24 that was travelling in the region of Mach 24!
The distance decrease from 0.009 AU to 0.004 AU in a single day and then... Arecibo can't track TU24 anymore???
And Goldstones radar will be offline from Jan 25-Feb 15
Goldstone DSS-14 will be offline for maintenance from Jan. 25-Feb. 15.
(Goldstone DSS-14)

If I were to lok for a better conspiracy angle........ it would be along the lines that the whole asteroid forum TU24.org (or whatever it's called), the Yahoo posting, and other web-BS we can find about it all, has all been thrown out there to encourage the sales of the (pop science) books on the electric universe idea.

I have an associate at Yahoo who's looking into this. While he thought the initial post was 100% "nut job," he agreed that there should have been no reason to remove it... which then peaked his interest quite a bit.

again, we are not discussing impact into earth. That has been ruled out for the most part.
What we have been discussing is the plasma discharge effect of a negatively charged asteroid in concern with earth and it's magnetosphere.

As long as it impacts down the road - just think of the photo opportunities!
