OK, that is a slight exaggeration. The asteroid was more of a city killer than a planet killer, but it passed earth WELL INSIDE of the moon's orbit. That is very, very close in astronomical terms. It was spotted only a few days out. (Gee, didn't they make a movie along those lines a few years back?)
Anyway, we cheated death again. First in 2016 when Hillary didn't get elected, and again last week when an asteroid didn't hit us. Of course maybe if it had just hit LA or SF or Seattle it wouldn't have been a huge big deal. It might have just incinerated a huge pile of shit, in more meanings that just the one.
