dude, a rock that big is NOT going to vaporise it will completesly total the earth, how do u think we get small meterites always landing on earth? if they would get vaporised, we wouldnt have em...

yeah, just think of what air blast damage would be, let alone the seismic shock.

luckily there are no metors of this size anywhere near a collision with the Earth. The apophys or what they call it is only 250m across, effects of that blast could easily be surpassed by a thermobuclear bomb.

though armageddon is said to have more than 600 scientific fallacies, the highest of any movie known. These fallacies include the "the sky is so big that we can't see much!"-statement, precluding any validity of your argument.

Indeed. A lot of mass would be sent at escape velocity forever leaving the Earth, and the entire planet would be completely molten and/or vaporized. The earthquakes would register some 12-13 or more on the richter scale which would instantly deform, destructively raise and crack the crust on the entire planet, raising the land by several kilometres, before being vaporized by the heat of hundreds of thousands of centigrades that the fireball of the blast spanning thousands of kilometres creates.

should still be much faster if you think about it. The enormous pressure inside of that cloud of vaporized rock (about 10^20 kilograms or 1/10000 the mass of the Earth) would probably make it expand in a supersonic manner, since this is gas and not liquid. The height of the cloud would be hundreds of kilometres, incresing pressure even more at the bottom of the cloud. For comparison, a 10km deep sea would accelerate at twice the speed of sound if its surroundings were to be removed suddenly.

this meteor is more than 200km wide... do you even realize how large that is? the other ones that struck earth (chicxulub, vredefort, wilkes crater, largest craters on earth) were about 10000 times smaller than this or about 10km in diameter (except for wilkes crater which actually could approach this meteor short of a few orders of a magnitude, but still way smaller and also moving slower).

Incredible work. A true horror story!
