Yeah, a couple of hundred million dead? Hardly a concernThat asteroid is about 270 meters across, yeah it might cause a big bang, but hardly a doomsday asteroid. 270 meters is nothing on an Earth scale. Let alone the fact that all 270 meters of it won't be there/intact by the time it does hit the surface.
Then you get the media having artistic renditions of the event showing an asteroid the size of the moon crashing into the earth and shit.
The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.
