A meteor would most likely hit the Pacific Ocean and if it was big enough cause huge tsunamis and do great damage to Sydney, Australia, Japan, California and other places. Will you sleep soundly tonight now with that knowledge?

I will sleep soundly tonight, heck everyone dies someday.

I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. My post wasn't alarmist -- these space rocks are interesting. A small number of them have significantly affected life on Earth, but these are very rare.

By the way, it's the rarity of these large impacts that is the reason to sleep soundly. (I think you're underestimating the harm that would ensue if we got unlucky and a large asteroid did hit.)
