What has the world come to, reporting on tiny asteroids like this... It's basically the meteor that exploded over Russia last year. Come back when they find another Apophis.

Yeah because things that hit the earth with the force of a tactical nuclear weapon aren't a slight concern to anyone in the flight path

If we had our poo poo together we could snag close flybys like these and mine them
