Sep 4 2008This Is What Would Happen...

If a large meteor hit earth because Superman is dead or we couldn't blow it up like in that movie Armageddon which totally did not make me cry when I watched it.

Watch the video for death and destruction set to Pink Floyd, sweet!

wow, that's lame. sure hope i can beat mile high club on veteran before that hits.

the earth and comet are all ovally

I would comment but I'm too busy going fetal and sucking my thumb now. Gee thanks.

It would be more believable if it didn't say "The evidence shows that this has happened at leasts 6 times in the Earths history." Must be science.

Why is god so angry at us?

I wish this was a documentary.

This will happen if we have a black president. It's happened at least one time before.

Better than stomach cancer

NINTH!!!

1~ Sean,

That's so funny. As soon as that news report comes on warning us i'm doing just that.

8 Hours and i only made it to the hostage once!!! so to attempt that again it has to be because the world is about to end.

I want my final thought to be "finally got that f***ing achieveme..."

Gaaaay. Mindless speculation and scare tactics. Luckily, we can't take action against this threat, unlike the Global Warming stupidity.

Don't worry! I'll shoot it down with my Monstrosity! Give me a minute, I gotta get it ready.

....

PEW PEW!!!

Is it weird that I named my cock "Monstrosity"?

f***in' amazing!

This is what happens if McCain/Palin get elected. Science wins!

end: looks like death star.

f***....

kinda remins me of what happens on majoras mask

Oooo, magma-y!

And 'they' say global warming isn't real

No apostrophe in "Earths history". FAKE

wow, my science teacher lied... big rock hitting water creates flame based explosion.. that's a new one...

21ST!

Damn you 21, you screwed up my jam.

At 03:44 you can barely make out Bruce Willis waving at the camera from the meteor's surface

Video won't load for me. :(

This is scary shit, lol. Its so . . . gay =[ BOO big meteor that destroys the earth xD

Did anyone else see the face on the meteor in the opening scene? Or the demented pac-man look it gets at 4:00?

not sure at the veracity of theyre research. also not sure what exactly would be fueling the wall of flame that they show surrounding the earth. usually heard it would shoot so much soil and ash into the sky the earth would be in semi-permanent night. not the prison planet from chronicles of riddick.

This video totally syncs up with Wizard of Oz if you start it on the second road of the MGM lion. Duuuuuuuuude

Don't worry kids, McCain and Palin will save us!!

man, i hope this happens before the 2008 election! viva los roaches!!

what was the name of the song

FAAAAKE!!!! Obviously they just made that video on computers with graphics and stuff, they didnt really video tape it from space with a camcorder. Wow you guys are dumb as hell!! Right? Probably.

Yo, give credit where it's due, this is a clip from a Discovery Channel show called "Miracle Planet"...and there wasn't Pink Floyd playing either.

FAKE. You can totally tell this isn't real.

So this is what will kill the Robots after they kill us? Justice!

dammit superman, why didnt you help out?

just imagine one day you sitting in your comfy room going on geekologie to check out some new stuff, BAM you look outside your window and see a giant firewall flying at you..

Those last few seconds.... it almost looks like the Death Star!

This is an object the size of the object that hit the earth during differentiation to create the moon, these events are very rare and we would see it coming for perhaps centuries

@ ashley

the song name is The great gig in the sky

Re 40...

Centuries? Wooohoooo! Suck it future earth!

DAMN YOU SEPHIROTH!!

This would absolutely happen. The oceanic crust is only 5-10km deep and most of it would be obliterated by the impact. Crack the hell out of the brittle lithosphere too, down to the mantle, exposing an incredible amount of magma. As soon as that magma is released into a low pressure environment above the crust it would turn to liquid.

Firestorm isn't quite the right term though. It's not fire, although most of the atmosphere would ignite. It would be more like a massive pyroclastic flow as all of the gas, dust, and superheated rock from the destroyed crust came back down to earth, like a monster volcanic eruption.

After looking at this - I feel our lives really must've been horrible for something like this to happen. Of all the planets out there it could hit, ours has to be the target.

BRING IT MUTHUFUKKA!!!
I can field strip and re-assemble my AR15 in in 45 seconds.
BUDDABUDDABUDDABUDDARATTATATATATATOWBRRRAAPPPPP!!!
FROM MY COLD, DEAD HAAAAAARRRRG...

Freeze it on the last scene... Come on, was anyone else saying to themselves, "that's no moon!"

chuck norris and bruce willis would be the only two left and lonely at this point and they would probably turn gay

Let the colonization of Earth's Moon and Mars begin.

YAY We've found a use for all those nukes. All we have to do is get the entire world to give the asteroid a giant thermonuclear finger.

FOR ME TO POOP ON

didnt you already post it?
Im almost sure I saw here

@ #40: We wouldn't necessarily see it coming for centuries. Maybe a couple of years. Something moving on a collision course with Earth will not appear to have much relative motion against the backdrop of stars, so it'd be hard to pinpoint its trajectory and velocity until it was closer. And really, no one program is dedicated to seeking these objects to know when they're coming. Apophis was found by accident, not a dedicated band of scientists looking for doomsday asteroids.
At any rate, we'd love to say, "Well, it won't happen to ME." This kind of thing is exceedingly rare, yes, but not impossible. In fact, it's something you can count on. Whether it'll be ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years -- that's the question.

Can you imagine the chaos in the days before this happened. I would run around and do everyone in the pooper.

@44 - The only "pyroclastic flow" known today is that of rapper Ice Cube

This is why it is so important to make a Phelps/Norris hybrid clone.

I pooed my pants a little watching this!!! Which i kinda enjoyed a little!

Only two things could survive this type of event....
Cockroaches and the Rolling Stones!!

Does anyone know when this will be ? I need to put it in my diary, and I'm still waiting for Outlook 2007 to load.

Also - am I right in thinking I'll be safe in the cupboard under the stairs if covered in my duvet ?

Duck and cover FTW!

What about the bit where earth launches all its nukes at it?

Oh right... 500km...

Almost had me, until the end with the grammatical errors.

Not so fast, uneducated scientists!

BRING IT ON!!!!!
My life is a small price to pay for an E.L.E.

That'll teach all you f***ers out there.

That will really be a bad day.

Do you think chicks will f*** me now that the earth's destruction is near?

What the hell, no one casted Holy?

No way. I'm going to cast magic missle....... at the darkness!!

That is soo not good..... Last thought before it happens "Shit... This can't be good"

Guys, this isn't real though, it's in the movie "Never Back Down"

we should start making things happen.

lolz @ 67....awsume

Did anyone else think that this was just an overly long animation from a final fantasy game, with stupid scientific commentary thrown in?

I half expected at the end of it for the video to cut back to three people bouncing in place, and a stunned looking pack of "Giant Rat" leaping upwards and falling over sideways awkwardly with a white 9999 over their heads.

Or was that just me?

#76 Jukai -- your post was the only one to make me laugh. Ha-larious.

...and then what happens?

This. Is. Awesome.

@5. I hear there's no internet in heaven.

And this won't happen to me. I'll just use my magic paladin shield. OH SHI- *bubble* HA!

I bet the terrorists have something to do with this.

Happened 6 times already according to evidence. Pretty crazy.

HELL YEAH, 76th ! SUCK IT 77 !

If Superman fails t save us there's always a backup like...Green Lantern or maybe even that Captai Marvel guy

Shazam!

This is the Bioshock ending you get if you don't kill a single Big Daddy. The in-game commentary says it's all your fault.

This isn't real footage! It's just our imagination. All of our collective worst fears are projected into the big box at the top of this page.

We can beat this thing if we all play it cool.

@45 ....what? are you on drugs?..what the hell are you talking about?

I wonder if the 6 previous destructions of our planet were so perfectly timed with with crescendo of a Pink Floyd song...

you talk politics at a time like this!! where is dennis quaid! he'll put a stop to this!

@ 64/Jukai...haha. nice.

@82, I prefer the Floyd/Wizard of Oz Sync better.

Oh and thanks GW!!! You were really thinking when you decided to ruin our Friday with this little production.

I hope your cat sits on your favorite something......

oh...and this is really depressing.

And the number one threat to America is: Meteors.

@Boscbo - THAT is f-ing funny!

So that moon / asteroid thing comes through the atmosphere and didn't break up at all? My understanding is that earth is being hit all the time by meteors but they break up in the atmosphere. Obviously some big ones have made it through like in Arizona, but they also didn't have the PEW PEW power we have now!

wow.................................shit.......................cool song though

Everyone knows that the earth is really flat and comets don't exist. Come on, people... have a little bit of faith... at least you'll die happy.

Watching my home planet getting destroyed with the beautiful music of my favorite band is quite disturbing. I'm calling my shrink....

so when is this going to happen? I hope it doesn't clash with my pilates class

whoever made this is a total f***ing badass for setting it to that song. it got me all emotional.

#89, it did hit the atmosphere - it's just the atmosphere isn't thick enough to really do much to something that big. If you watch it at about one minute, you see it start to burn up before it gets to the surface of the earth.

And this is why we need to find and make friends with intelligent life elsewhere, so they can save our butts before this happens.

video won't load for me either.

This is just amazing.

WHERE IS THE AUDIO?

When I saw this video before (in un-deformed widescreen) there was a commentary explaining everything that was happening. It was a woman's voice, I remember that much. It's been a while though.

Without the commentary.... the song is just not enough.

Found a better version, with actual translation:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=wjk-9yJBIG0

And here's how NASA would propose to circumvent the hideously angry will of our Lord, Joe Pesci:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo-yFw6VOyw

Okay so it happened 6 other times. So all life on Earth was killed off since the surface was uninhabited 6 other times? Even the miracle of evolution couldn't put us all here in such a short time span. It's total B.S. but a cool video nonetheless. Pink Floyd rocks.

Way to go Lex Luthor, thanks for wrecking all our stuff.

Whilst Bruce Willis is still alive we'll have a chance of survival.
Cool Floyd soundtrack.

"give the asteroid a giant thermonuclear finger." I second that statement.

jst put that in a nex-gen videogame and HOT DAMN!!!!

#47, HA HA. EXACT SAME THOUGHTS.

"That's no moon, that's YO MAMA!!!"

I need a house at the bottom of the ocean, with a mermaid wife

I've been comenting here since I was 34 years old and I think its just great that children like yourselfs could come together and agree that we are a good american people and we have gold hearts and that presidents are only one person and we can always rely on nuclear arms to hug our children, children that we have reaised from when they were not children, when they were babies. babies need food just like you and me, except the food they eat is much softer and grosser, when a baby eats it is known to do things like not eat, in wich case it has the very popular amongst the girls eating dissorder known as anerexia. now we all know a few people in our comunity that would do good to have this disorder, but you should feal sorry for them like when you saw star wars and fealt sorry for princess leia for when her planet was blown up. if you didn't i suggest you see a doctor because you know its time to see one. also this is very fake you can tell its photo shoped by how the shadows and things are all wrong. like the seen in never back down, a summer hit that left us asking for more like the time when your uncle rodney took you in the back room and showed you his penis.

Guys.
Just get ALL of your laser canons and PEW PEW tha shit out of it.
Maybe the churchs can help too.
*get it? pews?*
Wow.
*loses Russian Roulette*

last scene, it had to be australia.

Dosen't bother me.
I live on Pluto.

AWESOME~!!!

But I already got the Mile High Club achievement. What am I gonna do before the apocalypse? =(

At that last part, All i saw was "The Death Star"
You know, meh, just red.

now ... why the hell would there be a firestorm. i mean ... the theory of a meteor ignited firestorm that killed dinosaures is just a theory so... yeah there would be a mother fragging huge apocalypse like earth quake ... tsunami ... debris falling form the sky ... so why do you have to put a firestorm on top of that.
