Impact in 5 Minutes

*I don't really take much ownership of the video. I had nothing to do with the animation or the music, except that I put them together. What I do enjoy most though, is reading the comments that people write everyday. It's comforting to know what the rest of the world would be doing in its last 5 minutes of existence.

CBC radio 3 blogger John Paolozzi posted this back in April 2008:

After this news story broke:

He posed the question to radio listeners: You have five minutes before the end of civilization... what would you like to hear?

He suggested the Sasha / Digweed 1999 remix of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence":

He also provided a link to a video simulation of a meteor crashing to earth:

By coincidence, I opened these two videos at the right time, and the resulting sync was amazing.

I took me forever to put it together and share it with you, but I think the result was worth it.

So ya, umm, neato. Answer in the comments.

A astroid that big would just obliterate the earth within seconds

It's either Scorcher VII or chuck norris taking a dump

@chronicskateboards Earth was on fire for years a while ago, like literally on fire, that's why dinosaurs are extinct, little insects/creatures like ants survived amazingly. If an asteroid does hit earth supposedly on "December 21st, 2012" Earth will be on fire again. I don't think it would obliterate it but, then again we don't quite know all that, I honestly don't believe this though.

VERY CREATIVE AND GOD IMAGENS¡¡...WWOOWWW

[bethanygirl123]

Well...at least will be a quick death

[girlygirlpower100]

maybe that's what happened to the Dino's i mean maybe the sun was an earth for them and then a big Meteor hit the sun and then it cough on fire hmm and maybe it will happen to earth?? hmm then there will be 2 suns!! i don't think that's likely better luck in a few thousand years .

@IceLeak go out and take a picture ,then open my camera and make a vid ....and if aliens don't save me y just try in my last minut to belive in god =this is what my brother answer when y ask him my answer is that in my last 5 minutes y will try to save people and to survive ....because y whant to survive ....much then nobody

Wouldn't the earth be knocked out of orbit if this happened? I mean, look at that huge asteroid. The one that supposedly had the power to obliterate humankind in Deep Impact was just the size of New York City. The one in this video is as large as a continent.

[goldensurfer16]

its not an asteroid, frieza just threw a super nova at the earth.
