THE CLOCK STOPPED TICKING
The countdown continued and the time came and went as an asteroid flew near earth today at 19:25 GMT, which was 2:25PM Eastern time.
Although it missed earth by 17,150 miles, which is the closest known fly by for something so this huge. A ten ton meteorite the size of a house actually hit Russia last night and hospitalized hundreds. This happens to be close to their nuclear weapons sight.
