NASA Prepares for an Asteroid Impact: ‘It’s going to happen’

asteroid-impact

What would you do if you knew there was an asteroid heading your way directly or near your home?

Do you have an action plan for your family? NASA is making preparations for a possible asteroid strike and encourages you to do the same.

Late last year, emergency officials teamed up with NASA to simulate an asteroid hit in El Segundo, California. In the first part of the simulation experience, they elaborated on a situation where an object had a 65% chance of hitting the planet.

Afterward, they couldn't observe the moving object for about four months. Later on in the simulation, they find something heading directly towards the Los Angeles area with an impact probability of 100%. They proceed with an evacuation.

    I just read an article talking about preparing for a monstrous wave caused by a nuclear strike taking the city also. Don’t know if someone’s trying to cause hysteria or not but that coast needs a good Douche anyhow. Hopefully it runs a little south of NY.

    This page is getting worse by the day. Makes me wonder about the admin(s). Less about survival and more about delusional paranoia.
