Anyone else worried about that asteroid?

  • Those videos from Russia scared me out of bed, I knew about it last night, but on the same day as this asteroid is making a close shave by us? I think it broke off of the big one, it's too much of coincidence to not of. Heard it will be closest over India. Hope that's the only fireworks show we get today. Stay safe guys.

    The one in Russia came from the opposite direction, so likely not related. Anyway, it swings past at 2:24 EST, so, in about 40 minutes from this post I think?
