The most horrifying/beautiful video you'll see today....

At least i won't have to keep paying my mortgage off. 

Plus, it'll be lakefront property. A lake of molten lava.

[He Man]

You think a firestorm could encircle the planet in one minute?

+1, i think it would take atleast 5 minutes. lol not that it would matter, but hey maybe if i was with a reallly really really hot chick i could get one in before i die.

Hell ill settle for dying while having sex too. either way im happy. perfer zombies though.

[VisceralReaction]

Won't Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck save us?

According to Robot Chicken it will be Harrison Ford and Arrasmith!

I doubt it would take long for the earth to be engulfed in fire storm if something that big hit it at thousands of miles per hour. Little rock in a pond sends ripples that take a while to reach the shore - that's a small impact or large earthquake. Toss a boulder in the lake at a million miles an hour and it wouldn't take very long for the wave to hit shore.

Why I am thinking about this? Dammit.

Here's a question for the philosophers - does irony still exist if humanity is instantly wiped out? Because it would be hilariously ironic if we are all panicking over non-threats like climate change only to have all life on earth obliterated the next day by a big ass space rock.

Somehow, I always knew that the end of life on earth would have a soundtrack by Pink Floyd.

Hell yeah

By definition, hypersonic is mach 5 or above (3800mph) The circumference of the Earth is about 24,900 miles at the equator. So, since the wave would be traveling in all directions at once, it would take no longer than 3-3.5 hours to completely engulph the Earth. That's IF the shockwave was taveling at mach 5, not any faster...

if i knew that was coming....

i'd have a hell of a lot of unprotected sex.

[ROBsS4R]

Was it just me or the meteorite looked like the deathstar a little.

[lethe]

I'd have to just stand there and face the wave of fire. To feel that split second of overwhelming power would be more awesome than any sex that could be had while hiding in a hole like a scared rabbit.

hey i didn't say i'd be hiding

[lethe]

hey i didn't say i'd be hiding

You'd hide, you fearful little sissy. 

[eyeboy]

pink floyd starts playing everywhere?

i would head towards the flash, isn't that what you should do?

[Timmy Tucker]

Why does the big-ass space rock of doom ALWAYS have to land in the ocean? WTF? Can't it just hit land in one of these damn scenarios? The result wouldn't be any different.


BTW-I hope that shit lands right on top of me. That would be the ultimate bragging rights in the (non-religion-specific) afterlife.

[NAKID]

You would burn up before it hit you, but it's likely to hit ocean since it covers 70% of the Earth...

[gojira]

The good news is you won't know when it happens, because you'll be dead before you can blink.

Maybe the camera man would warn us, no?
