(99942) Apophis hitting the earth with an impact energy of between 800 and 1400 megatons.
Chances of impact in 2036 is 1:45000


getting struck by lightening
1:280,000

being shot
1:3013

winning the lottery
1:146,107,962

So the chances of civilization almost definitely being reduced to near stone age level is somewhere between me getting shot or me being struck by lightening. I have been shot at. I have been in a car struck by lightening. Explain to me why Nasa assures us we should not be worried about apophis? Maybe it will keep to the trend and miss. I certainly hope so.

Now i would like to buck the odds and win the lottery.

of course knowing my luck that would guarantee the impact.

You've been in a house struck by lightning as well. I think you have pretty well used up all of your lightning points.

I have also been near tornados a few times. Yeah I have pushed my luck.
