Apophis is coming to get us



I'd forgotten all about this one.
Way back in December 2004, NASA announced that a rogue asteroid was heading straight for the earth, and was likely to either directly collide or narrowly miss our planet.
We now know that the 900-foot wide asteroid Apophis will miss.
It will come closer to Earth than any other near-Earth object that we know of - just 18,300 miles above the planet’s surface.
Set the date - April 13, 2029. I'm predicting an end of days.
