5:28, flying into a comet is like flying into a brickwall.

@snakes3425 I'd like to say the scientist as he knew what he was doing ;) I don't think the cops were aware that the comet was already within the Earth's gravitational pull. Who would ever want to bring a comet toward Earth anyway?

Everytime I watch this cartoon I can't tell who's dumber, the scientist for bringing a comet to within a few thousand yards of the Earth or the cops for cutting the power to the magnet while said comet was caught within Earth's gravitational pull
