    Since the subject of natural disasters came up about the super volcano underneath yellowstone park I decide that maybe everyone else needs to know how the world might end in 14 years

    Apparently there is a very big asteroid (15 miles long) thats heading in the direction of Earth and might impact in just 14 years.The impact would defenatly destroy the human race and a there's good chance Earth will be destroyed.

    However the asteroid could take a different course and might end up bi-passing Earth but if it isn't then we need to come up with a plan or else (and I'm sorry to say this) we're doomed!

    I've heard that too, but I think that in 14 years we'l have some technology to prevent that....well, except in the case that humans destroy the planet first, something really likely to happen.

    If he just change his course a little bit, then he will miss , and people have the tecnolgies to do invlod the course , they done it before their should have been a asteroid in 200 , and they can fire rocket's on it so they can make the asteroid have less impact .or it it can explode in the air

    If something like that happens, and the Earth is, indeed, in the path of this asteroid, then the United States and Russia are going to have to break their pact that prevents either country from using nuclear power in space, and just hit it with a nuclear warhead to destroy it. It would be kind of like the movie Armageddon, but without the lame love subplot. :lol:

    Here's this, but it doesn't say anything about the size.

    The original articles on this asteroid were posted in 2000—and fourteen years after 2000 is 2014.

    Hmm. Well, if a giant asteroid is coming to earth to kill us all, I'll just take a gun and shoot myself in the head seconds before impact.

    The world's combined stockpile of nuclear weapons could, indeed, either affect the course of it, or destroy it completey. I'm pretty sure that the US and Russia would agree to kick its ass should it come close to hitting...

    But no doubt the US will be like "Oh. Aim for the asteroid? Our bad. We set the coordinates for Iraq, Iran, North Korea and Afghanistan. sorry. :rolleyes:"
