Apophis to impact Earth?

Asteroid Apophis (Greek for the Egyptian god, meaning destroyer),
number 99942, first identified in 2004 and designated 2004 MN4, was
recently predicted to pass by Earth in April 2013 and 2021, extremely
close to Earth in April 2029, (within approximately 15,000 miles), and
possibly impact Earth in April 2035 or 2036.

Which says, inter alia, "the chance of collision is extremely unlikely
with no cause for public attention or public concern."

In fact, if Apophis were to strike Earth you would probably have died
already as a result of being bitten by a rattlesnake while falling from
a high ladder, being struck by lightning in mid-fall, and landing on a
rusty nail. (The rattlesnake would survive to tell the tale.)
