Giant Asteroid Destroys New York!

This Sunday, 42 miles of New York City 

was destroyed by a giant asteroid

And NASA's Planetary Defense System 

could not deflect it.

At least in simulation.

The asteroid, about 330 to 1,000 feet in diameter, exploded 9.3 miles above Central Park 

with 1,000 times the energy of the nuclear bomb that destroyed Hiroshima.

This Sunday, Washington considered sending a nuclear bomb to deflect the 60m space rock – 

replicating a successful strategy that saved Tokyo in the 2017 simulation

But it was crippled by political disagreements, 

meaning all that remained to do was prepare for impact.

That does seem about right, 

doesn't it?

Our politicians

will be the death of us.

What do you think?
