  You are the President of the United States
  
  A meteor has been discovered that is headed toward earth. They have calculated that it will strike France in 2 days, at approximately: 1:00 AM. The meteor is large enough to completely wipe France from the face of the earth.
  
  France and the United Nations have requested that the United
  States send all available ships and aircraft to help evacuate the country. Among the ships and aircraft you could be sending are many that are being used to fight the war on terror overseas.
  

  As President, you must decide. DO YOU...
  
  A) Stay up late on the night of the impact to watch the coverage
  live?
  or...
  
  B) Tape it and watch it in the morning.

  ...We interrupt the program to bring you very upsetting news.... Due to an error in the scientists calculations, the meteor that should have hit France at 1 am tonight, will instead hit Washington DC.... you have 4 hours to evacuate the city, and try to get as far as possible, as New York will also be toast as also a big part of the East Coast...

  Pr_Capone: we had one of those.

  What?

  A Meteor

  A Meteor? Yeah, a Mercury Meteor. A big ass car that sat nearly 10 people in it.

  We had a 1976 Mercury Meteor station wagon that sat about that and more.

  Not sure what impact it would have had on the roads/highways of France, but it was a pretty damn huge and powerful super V8 car.

  Gotta love North American cars .

  Big and beautiful cruising cars of the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

  Don't want to rain on the parade here, but if something that big were to hit Earth, nobody on Earth would be watching TV. You'd be too busy drowning in the tsunami or being minced under building rubble from the earthquakes. Sometimes I surprise myself with my incredible optimism I'm just such a happy-go-lucky guy at times

  .............I'll pick C) Roll up a doobie, make a drink, and put on some music.

  PR. there was a meteor that hit siberia in the early 1900's. It leveled 1000 square miles like a nuclear blast. Many are unfamiliar with this...but it is possible the earth could be hit in a more vulnerable spot.

  Interesting site on the potential for future hits by space rocks:

  Small chunks of meteors hit the planet everyday. It is just a matter of time before a big one hits. Has before, will again.

  Shakita,

  It is just a matter of time before a big one hits. Has before, will again.

  Are we to take this as a prophecy from you? If we are.....I'm going to be wearin my hardhat untill it's over dammit! Now I'm going to be lookin up in the sky everyday and bumpin into stuff damn you!

  It reallyIS a strange thought to think civilization could be destroyed in this way. I had a friend tell me something interesting....He said " I'll bet if everything was destroyed on this planet......life would start again and in time the earth would be teeming with life as it is now".

  I wonder if he is correct

  gumby:

  Not a prophet, just repeating what I have read. I wouldn't go playing "chicken little" today, though, I don't think we will see it in our lifetime. But, then again, if you think that NASA or some other organization has teams up people with their telescopes trained on the skies looking out for the doomsday asteroid...think again...

  In one of his last books, Carl Sagan predicted that no civilization would be able to persist for a trully "long" time unless it develops space travel. Like Larry Niven said, "The dinosaurs became extinct because they had no space programme."

  With an adequate space program you have options such as deflecting the asteroid, or, in the case of some huge doomsday scenario, at least you have more then one biosphere for the species to live on.
