Summary

Every year forty tons of space rock impact with the Earth. On May 19, a rock the size of Wembley stadium came within 280,000 miles of Earth, six hours from collision. This single impact could have devastated the surface of the globe with an explosive release of energy five times more powerful than the entire world's nuclear arsenal. Humankind could have been eradicated. However, at the last moment its trajectory carried it away from our world. If it had not, human history would have come to a violent end.
