Well, the ocean is not quite a useless place to hit. After all, water is non-compressible fluid and the waves could do just as much damage or worse.Brian Lee wrote:A 30 meter object is certainly nothing to sneeze at, but we're not talking even close to an extinction level event here. If we're lucky, it would hit someplace useless like the ocean (2/3rds of the earth is covered with it - a pretty good chance ya know!) or maybe a desert, or Newark.
Maybe someplace like Siberia, where the last one came down. The other possibility is whereeer politicians go hide when there's a national emergency (Is that the Newark place that your talking about?)
I think in this instance, we can thank the Crystal People and Dale's Planetary Reception Network for using their secret Anti-gravity beam to knock the asteroid off course. It was probably test fired from an undisclosed location outside of Birmingham AL.
