Why New York City? Why not Mexico City?

"...and NASA had no clue." Fortunately, the European Space Agency stepped up and...didn't do jack either. When did planetary defense become the sole responsibility of the United States?

Space boffins think that if the rock measuring between 16 and 32 metres had hit, it couldve wiped a major city such as New York off the map.In the far more likely scenario that it hit the ocean, what (if any) negative consequences would result? The kinetic energy of a 32 meter rock zooming in a interplanetary speed must be enourmous but would it be enough to, for example, generate a small tsunami? Hydrogen bombs didn't, so I'm guessing no but who knows?

Are they talking Manhattan, or the entire Metro area of New York City, with all its boroughs? Big diff.

NASA had no clue because it is run by clueless Leftists who wouldn’t know an asteroid from a hemorrhoid.

A MASSIVE asteroid that could have destroyed New York City skimmed past Earth and NASA had no clue. Well, seriously, if you have to go, do you really want to know ahead of time about it? Not like you could do much to avoid it.
