These Final Hours (2014) Minister Of Science Announcement [HD]

[@aronb6746]

5 km? For the effects to be as bad as depicted in the movie, an asteroid would probably have to be ten times bigger than that.

[@-TakingSomeLs]

A 5 km asteroid wouldnt even have the ability to take out the planet lmao

[@ricky6608]

@@-TakingSomeLs Depends how fast it was travelling

[@tylerhalloran9158]

@@-TakingSomeLs For it to have caused an event that large it would have to be atleast the size of the Cthulhu impact.which was 9km in diameter so the impact in the movie would be massive enough to cause a mass extinction

[@davidgee2988]

Not to mention it landed in the North Atlantic which is deep ocean. Someone should've consulted a science person first.

[@sockfourpoint0]

And they did a bang up job of it taking out that asteroid as you can see in the film.

[@slacktrack7118]

The guy from Armageddon said given density size and speed you could fire off every nuke you've got at her and she'd just laugh at you and keep coming. I think I believe that guy over this guy.

[@aboutashow]

These are both from movies. I think we should listen to actual scientists

[@visualthings]

@@aboutashow Come on, nobody does that anymore. They are intellectuals, and we all know that this is the biggest enemy...

[@veterandecanus3841]

I prefer learning and hearing from actual cientists

[@jordanrader9281]

This calls for a prequel I wanna see those nukes

[@chrisby777]

They sent up Mcguyver but he lost his ball of string and paperclip.

[@davidgee2988]

Then they sent up MacGruber but he got distracted.

[@chrisvoa]

@@davidgee2988 hahaha just crying over his wife.

[@MegaSheen15]

I think it was all James’s dream. Once he woke up, he realized that he and his girlfriend wouldn’t work out and stayed with Zoe

[@falscherbruce5522]

Scomo would be in Hawaii when the announcement was made

[@falscherbruce5522]

@@-TakingSomeLs No, not even 10 km. Another issue is that if it plonked in the ocean, there would be no fireball, just a bloody giant tsunami that would take more than 12 hours to reach Perth

[@twistedyogert]

@@falscherbruce5522 That would still kill a lot of people and probably set civilization back to at least pre-industrial days or earlier.

Ok 1% that’s not ba-
Oh shit

I didn’t see this in the movie

[@billbombshiggy9254]

5km? I Don't think thats a global killer. Definitely gonna knock shit down a bit tho

[@shardofkingdoms9816]

Depends on the speed

[@skarmex3439]

@@shardofkingdoms9816 Yep! Speed is almost everything in these cases. For example, a grain of sand traveling at the speed of light is enough to obliterate the planet. The faster the object, the more devastation it has. Size will add force, but it's nowhere near as important as the speed of the impact.

[@k125catu5]

I guess the Russian's Tsar Bomb is enough to destroy an Asteroid.

[@twistedyogert]

For us that use freedom units. 5km is approximately 3.1miles. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was twice that size.
Still, I'm pretty sure the world as we know it would end if something that size hit anywhere on Earth.

[@aronb6746]

Freedom units?

[@twistedyogert]

Americans
