Near Earth Asteriod

There will be a near earth pass (or hit?), by an asteriod, weighing around 23,000 tons on April 13th 2029 (or on 2036, if it misses the 2029 date). It is Named, Apophis (approx 100 skyscrapers tall) and packs more punch than all the nuclear weapons in earth! Chance of hitting earth is estimated to be 1 in 300. Well, check back this blog on 14th April 2029 for updates :-). If internet is still functioning, I will update this post. To read more about this at NASA website click here.
