oh wow dip shit happened! big surprise!!!!!!!!

ಠ_ಠ

[theboydanny]

First radar-images of it passing Earth:

[Stumblefuck]

Does this mean all that plasma cosmology/electric universe crap is finally discredited?

[theboydanny]

It never had any credit to begin with, they just fumble up terminology and fancy words. So yea.

There's a lot we don't know, but there's also a lot that's not possible. Newton or Einstein or Heisenberg, the apple still falls from the tree.

[alien8ted]

"Does this mean all that plasma cosmology/electric universe crap is finally discredited?" This epic fail for the plasmatwats won't stop them, just as photos of the spherical earth from space doesn't bother flat-earthers. They are paranoid and deluded, so no amount of evidence will ever make them question their pseudoscientific religious belief that science is somehow unfairly biased against ionised gas.

[happyquails]

the guest to the Coast to Coast show who discussed the leaked e-mail from a NASA employee specified a two day window. As far as I know that e-mail was the indication that a true risk exists due to it's tumbling movement and varying trajectory. But it seems that the two day window has not been passed along with the rest of the info.

[alien8ted]

There is no risk to us at all from TU24's tumbling or varying trajectory as it's heading away from us and so its local motions can have no effect at all. That 'leaked email' was very likely a plasmatwat invention to try and terrorise us with their sick, twisted, deluded apocalyptic bullshit.

[KevinMartinOWS]

And that is that. It passed. This animation was meant to show you nothing would happen. We can all go back to normal lives now.

Kevin - Out.

[NagiNataMaster]

It isn't going anywhere near mars! there is a second asteroid, WD5, that is going to be near missing mars.

[Xuande184]

Well look at that we survived. "sarcasm" Who could have though that? "sarcasm"

[jynxeroo]

Man, Im still alive, I think this is a bunch of bull...OH FU-

[tmann3108]

Well on half the globe it is the 30th and I'm still here on the 29th at 5:45pm so I guess we are all set. Wait! Whats that??!! I't looks like. OH NO! IT"S, O M

[Rathalos887]

The damn thing already passed. Stop trying to convince people.

[Kaibaman21]

LOL people are still talkin bout it this thing all ready passed

[servertest]

Well, the rest of us are too smart.. not sure about you just yet. ;)

[SSJ3Dragonfist]

Haha yes, servertest is right :)

[GAndreiev]

Notice how the newspapers carry banner headlines about Britney Spears stealing a cigarette lighter or Amy Winehouse sniffing Windex, but news of a nearby building sized chunk of doom is buried deep in the interent

[safetypinwhore]

i know! i haven't heard anything about this except on youtube... that damn britney spears. :P

[GAndreiev]

Okay, I can imagine Thursday's Newspapers:

"TU-24 HITS, MILLIONS AND BRITNEY PERISH!"

[zakwashere]

lol, you're probably right

[Daebleak]

today is the day.

[Seberry654]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it already happened. 3:36 am it passed by and it's magnetic feild did next to nothing ot the earths weather. The only thing expected is a couple of mild tremerature rises and drops.

[Glimax]

we're gonna die.

[KnightKiller1000]

Can we just shoot it down with a rocket or missile at it. We'll do it from the movie Armaggeddon.

[cogwurx]

HAHAHAHAHA.

[esejoker679]

wasnt it suppost to hit today?

[RabbleRowsette]

Tomorrow. And it's not gonna hit. It's close, but it's still further away than the moon. There's some speculation that there may be some electrical interference similar to a solar flare, but everyone has a different opinion on that.

[Seberry654]

already passed. 3.36 this morning. EST

[alien8ted]

There's no speculation amongst astronomers that the asteroid will have electrical effects on Earth 'cos they know for a fact that asteroids and comets have a neutral electric charge. The elctric universe hoaxers should be imprisoned for scaremongering and terrorising people with bullshit conspiracy theories. Ask these liars why the asteroid had no effect and watch them run away.

[sniperspartan97]

hey some people said it will happen in a 5 day radious of january 29th so it could happen tonight or in a few days... besides, the highest impact it could have on earth is maybe some radiation or global warming, too bad all the snow would melt =( lol

[alien8ted]

I absolutely and unconditionally guarantee that TU24 will have no effects whatsoever, either now or over the next few days. It's very simple: the scumbags creating this myth are lying through their teeth to gain some publicity for themselves. They'll try to claim that effects did happen but they were 'covered up' in the standard paranoid conspiracy theory excuse/backpedal strategy. These plasma scaremongers are terrorists who belong in jail.

[ethanftw1]

U see here its very very unlikely that it will impact earth thats really not what anyone is worried about

its the fact that if a meteor this size has a negative charge the world would be under a total disaster

If you didnt already know this

100 years ago a small comet named Tunguska hit Russia and cleared 50 square miles or Russias forest

Thats a lot.

TU24 is literally 40x the size of tunguska which means if it even scrapes the inside of our atmosphere with a negative charge...

[h4ck3r92]

thats fake shit !! dont belive !!!!

[tommitd3]

aight guyz.. it was gd sharin the world with you ;-).

(Anyone got some weed i can spark my last jay with?)

[internationalnineone]

I HOPE IT HITS MISSOURI. MAN, I HATE THAT STATE.......or Iran!!

[carhuayo]

lol armaggeddon

[chrisstrife]

Don't wanna close my eyes and don't want to fall asleep 'coz i miss you baby, and i dont want to miss a thing...

Let's call Bruce Willis and all our heroes to rescue us!

[SSJ3Dragonfist]

Oh yh, get nasa on the scene, and give old bruce a call xD

[ITCT]

I say we build Stone Henge, as seen in Ace Combat 4 Shattered Skies for PS2. 6-8 cannons the size of sky-scrapers built to shoot down asteroids. But was turned into a weapon to fight war and take out states in the game. SO LETS BUILD THEM IN 1 DAY AND WERE FINE WOOT.

[SporeBrawl]

Geez get the stick out of your asses people. Sattelites, Asterois, whats next an outbreak of ofan ifectious heart disease and Christ destroying us all, whooopiiieeee!! Y'all are just LOOKING for ways to die aren't you?

[bibafortuna]

is this thing gonna hit earth?

[margar111]

dude its not gonna hit watch bad austranmers whatever you call hims video its going to miss us by thousands of miles now the only thing you all should be worried about is the satellite that MAY hit earth in march or febuary

[owlbear1]

The asteroid is somewhat asymmetrical in shape, with a diameter roughly 250 meters (800 feet) in size. TU24 will pass within 334,000 miles of Earth and it won't be back around until the end of next century.

[Revolutionaryskating]

Great... just fucking great... now i have to piss my self cus this is date of doom is 3 days away

[Maverixxx187]

haha thrummer1953 u got a point im scared now..

[Bradleydl]

my question is, if it is supposed to hit on the 29th, amd its the 25th, why isn't in the news (at all)??

[SporeBrawl]

Its very very very unlikely thats why.

[gunfire1989]

Lets just put it this way if we do get hit kiss your ass goodbye:)

[chasewimpy]

what is that program your using

[thedjnikki]

i thought the same things about the ufos. lol

[thrummer1953]

Texas UFO'S ,then an asteroid.Coincidence?

[gunfire1989]

Kind of wierd if you ask me!

[lonesoldier33]

YAY!!! WE ARENT GOING TO DIE!!! my hopes of seeing an alien are back up! lol

[nolomorte]

It's close in regards to space, but it's still gonna be 500 000 fucking kilometres away!

[vomeggido]

Its about fucking time. I need the rest.

[DeoLander]

Given the estimated number of near-Earth asteroids of this size (about 7,000 discovered and undiscovered objects), an object of this size would be expected to pass this close to Earth, on average, about every 5 years or so. The average interval between actual Earth impacts for an object of this size would be about 37,000 years. For the January 29th encounter, near Earth asteroid 2007 TU24 has no chance of hitting, or affecting, Earth.

[Mulatto57]

thanks.i was crapping myself scared ^.^

[juhzizkassad]

This is bullshit.

Every year there are some stories about the earth is gonna explode.

I can't wait to hear the next ghost story

[YokelYa]

lol yea this 2012 and 2029 or 2030 or 2031 bullshit stick to the date ppl :D

[ANAESTHETIC56]

were fucked.

[JimmyBoyx]

i havent read the bible yet. but i hope djandcj is right. But if its a near miss would it do damage to earth? minor damage

[djandcj]

look now if you belive in Gon and Jesus read the bible He said he will never destory the earth read the bible and if it does hit im going to heaven. think if you dont belive in and im right you lose your live, but if you right i lose nothing your choces. chose and be smart

[Sonto043]

Near miss means that it was near but was a miss. Do a little study on the english language.

[gamefreak12321]

repent repent the end is here NOT!

[cnvrt02]

near hit, near miss would imply it nearly missed but did not.

[spellbinder00]

I saw the calculated orbit AVI on the NASA site it's REAL and IT'S Close... .00034 A.U.'s January 29 2008 mark your calander! I have
