"Asteroid 2010 GA6 struck the Earth just after 7 PM EST, despite assurances from NASA that it would pass harmlessly closer to the Moon. The massive collision caused a gigantic fireball in the area around the strike, centered in the Australian Outback, and was estimated to have the force of a 500 megaton nuclear bomb. That's roughly 1,000 times the destructive power of the Hiroshima atomic bomb blast. Scientists are waiting with bated breath to predict whether this gigantic catastrophe has the ability to wipe out all life on Earth, much the way the Dinosaurs were annihilated 65 million years ago when a similar strike occured in the Yucatan Peninsula off the shore of Mexico. But the prognosis is bleak."
Such is the way that a real asteroid strike would probably be reported today if it had actually occurred. Never before in our history have we been able to communicate so quickly and on such a massive scale. So much so that it is likely most of the population of the Earth would not have felt the collision, nor seen its effects until it was too late. The power of the Internet gives us the ability to report on events that occur half a world away without seeming consequences to our own way of life.
That means that most of the world will be in the horrible position of knowing that impending doom is just around the corner, instead of being blissfully unaware until the momentous event overtakes us all in a flash.
