Astronomers have been closely monitoring Bennu, which swings close to Earth every six years. However, the real cause for concern arises from the possibility that on September 24, 2182, Bennu could collide with our planet with a force equivalent to 22 atomic bombs. While the odds of such a catastrophic strike are estimated at 1 in 2,700, NASA is not taking any chances.

    A Davy Crockett is 254 square inch per fahrenheit-crocodiles, so we’re obviously talking about an explosion of roughly 76 cubic pound per school shooting.

      Are we talking saltwater- or marsh crocodiles here?

      I thought the Davy Crockett nuclear bazooka was stronger than that.
