Description: Some seriously large asteroids have threatened Earth before. Some of these asteroids have little chance of hitting us but there are a few with very real chances of making contact. What happens if a large asteroid or comet hits Earth? And what are the chances something like Oumuamua or Bennu could actually hit our planet? 00:00 Asteroids 1:37 Chelyabinsk 02:31 Chicxulub 03:46 Oumuamua 04:54 Bennu 05:30 Shoemaker-Levy 9 06:29 Ceres Transcript and sources: whatifshow.com/what-if-the-largest-asteroid-hit-earth Questions or concerns?
