Default Asteroid near miss

They didn't tell us what kind of advanced warning they had of the recent
asteroid flyby. Granted there is
a 2/3 chance such a thing would hit an ocean and far less chance of it
hitting a city but just the same
it shows people how the threat of a significant impact is real.
