Omh retards. apophis is only 300 metres wide. ahahaha. It wont be an apocalypse. U know if it hits the water it will make an 3 miles wide hole. The one that fucked up the dinosaurs made a 150 miles hole "i think" "might have been more" and it also had ALOT of rocks with it that ignited the athmosphere. Relax ppl. If you move away from the impact place you WILL be fine.
It would probably leave a crater about 6 miles wide(9.5km). At 100 miles(160km) away, you would have a minute or two of intense heat, some weaker buildings would be damaged, a minute later maybe some dusting, and a few minutes after that you'd maybe get a burst of wind up to 50mph(80kph) or so.
@koenigclinto: Apophis is too slow (just 13 km/s impact velocity) to generate a fireball. You need velocities above 15 km/s for that. And an impact crater of just a few km diameter is a lot smaller than any of these animations show. A worst-case impact (at 90°) would spread the fragments after atmospheric entry to a 500x500 m area and would generate a crater of roughly 4.3 km diameter and 500 m depth. At a 100 km distance the air blast would be about 76 dB loud, the wind velocity just 14 m/s.
@albedoshader: The air “blast” would arrive after about 2½ minutes. After 20 s the earth would shake. According to the Mercall scale these are the effects: Felt indoors by many, outdoors by few during the day. At night, some awakened. Windows, doors disturbed; walls make cracking sound. Standing cars rocked noticeably.
V. Felt by nearly everyone; many awakened. Some windows broken. Unstable objects overturned. Pendulum clocks may stop. Not very cataclysmic after all.
Yeah, Apophis wouldn't do that much damage. If it was 330m in diameter, dense as iron, hit the earth at a 90degree angle, was going 20km/ps, and struck land, which would be about the worse case senario, it would definitely effect people within about a 100 mile radius, but not much more than that.
Heavens Above! In this video the asteroid is severely oversized! An asteroid this big compared to earth would probably be flung back into space or caught as a moon by earth's gravity! Earth already has an asteroid moon, Cruithne, which is far larger than Apophis.
Apophis is not this big and people can nuke it. And no meteor is on its way to us in 2012 either, we haven't seen anything but stars on the sky til today. And impacts involving 300 mile rocks have stopped billions of years ago.
To be honest you cannot place a date on a meteor because the possibities that it could speed up it's course is high and likely. Don't depend on technlogy to save you because you r just wasting your time. the only way to be saved is to call on Jesus to save your soul so you can be caught in the rapture before God's wrath.
in 2000 there said it end of world and it 2003 it say it end of world too and 2008 2009 and we alive and i dont think in 2012 or 2036 it end of world cause neither know what happend on future i think the one who know it god
Apophis is 250 metres wide?! 3 mile high Tsunami and some pretty severe repucusions, but certainly not an Earth ender... interestingly it may not hit anyway only if it passes through the 600 mile wide keyhole on April 13th 2029, and then we've still got 7 years to fix it/slow it down/deflect it. (Scientist favour keeping it in orbit!!!) Sleep easy all... now wait for the scare-tactics from sceptics!

shut up gamersguide..............!
seems like u r 1 of d guyz... who dont believe in science
Rather, u shud believe in both!
By d way, d probablity of d collision of apophis in 2029 is zero, now... be happy!!
but, only if earth's gravity dont change its path.... nd, it comes back for a collisoin in 2036!
--- Again confused, huh---
