McFaul 35 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Sounds like 2036 will be the one where we really need the brown underpants. Apparently they've done surveys in to the potential impact and we'll be alright in Northern Europe, the path would be allegedly Eastern Russia, China, Japan, Pacific, Venezuela, Colombia, the Southern Atlantic and West Africa would be at risk. Who's going to miss those places anyway? Wouldn't be that bad man. Apparently it wouldn't even have an impact on climate, and wouldn't be that much worse than what happened in 1908.

Guest CabayeAye Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Would an Aircraft carrier sized asteroid do any real damage though? It's not THAT big in the scheme of things. It would fuck things up if it hit a settlement, but I don't think it would change the climate or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it hit water a lot of people would be fucked though with 200 feet tidal waves, we'd be alright Ireland would shield us if it hit the Atlantic, and only the likes of Bristol would get it, and people forget Bristol is even there.
