"NASA Addresses Concerns Over Potential 2024 Impact of 'Lost' Asteroid with Catastrophic Force"

A simulation video by MetaBallStudios, which has gone viral, illustrates the catastrophic effects of various sized asteroids hitting Earth, with the smallest creating a 1.16km crater in New York City. The largest asteroid in the simulation causes a colossal 840km crater, affecting the whole of Europe. The video has sparked discussions online, with many expressing concern over the potential real-life impact of Asteroid 2007 FT3, which could release the energy equivalent to 2.6 billion tons of TNT, though it's not large enough to cause an extinction-level event.
