How handy! Just in case a large object from space smashes into a nearby city, this program will calculate what you will have to prepare yourself for!
http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/impacteffects/
This program is actually very scary because the effects heavily depend on what the object was made of, so you may get some holocaustic results. I had one meteor 6-miles wide made out of ice hit the other end of the state, and I was still considered \"inside the fireball\". o.o Not to mention the 10.3 Richter scale earthquake that will shake my whole state. Very informative.
Scary reality in science sometimes.

Your Inputs:
Distance from Impact: 805.00 km = 499.90 miles
Projectile Diameter: 80467.00 m = 263931.76 ft = 49.97 miles
Projectile Density: 8000 kg/m3
Impact Velocity: 50.00 km/s = 31.05 miles/s
Impact Angle: 45 degrees
Target Density: 2500 kg/m3
Target Type: Sedimentary Rock
Energy:
Energy before atmospheric entry: 2.73 x 1027 Joules = 6.52 x 1011 MegaTons TNT
The average interval between impacts of this size is longer than the Earth\'s age.
Such impacts could only occur during the accumulation of the Earth, between 4.5 and 4 billion years ago.
Major Global Changes:
The Earth is not strongly disturbed by the impact and loses negligible mass.
The impact does not make a noticeable change in the Earth\'s rotation period or the tilt of its axis.
The impact does not shift the Earth\'s orbit noticeably.
Crater Dimensions:
Transient Crater Diameter: 723 km = 449 miles
Transient Crater Depth: 256 km = 159 miles
Final Crater Diameter: 1710 km = 1060 miles
Final Crater Depth: 2.78 km = 1.73 miles
The crater formed is a complex crater.
The volume of the target melted or vaporized is 1.72e+07 km3 = 4.12e+06 miles3
Roughly half the melt remains in the crater , where its average thickness is 41.8 km = 26 miles
Thermal Radiation:
Time for maximum radiation: 55.9 seconds after impact
Your position is inside the fireball.
The fireball appears 775 times larger than the sun
Thermal Exposure: 1.96 x 1011 Joules/m2
Duration of Irradiation: 3630 seconds
Radiant flux (relative to the sun): 54100
Effects of Thermal Radiation:
Clothing ignites
Much of the body suffers third degree burns
Newspaper ignites
Plywood flames
Deciduous trees ignite
Grass ignites
Seismic Effects:
The major seismic shaking will arrive at approximately 161 seconds.
Richter Scale Magnitude: 12.5 (This is greater than any earthquake in recorded history)
Mercalli Scale Intensity at a distance of 805 km:
IX. General panic. Damage considerable in specially designed structures; well-designed frame structures thrown out of plumb. Damage great in substantial buildings, with partial collapse. Buildings shifted off foundations. Serious damage to reservoirs. Underground pipes broken. Conspicuous cracks in ground. In alluviated areas sand and mud ejected, earthquake fountains, sand craters.
X. Most masonry and frame structures destroyed with their foundations. Some well-built wooden structures and bridges destroyed. Serious damage to dams, dikes, embankments. Large landslides. Water thrown on banks of canals, rivers, lakes, etc. Sand and mud shifted horizontally on beaches and flat land. Rails bent slightly.
Ejecta:
The ejecta will arrive approximately 436 seconds after the impact.
Your position is in the region which collapses into the final crater.
Your position is beneath the continuous ejecta deposit.
Average Ejecta Thickness: 4670 m = 15300 ft
Air Blast:
The air blast will arrive at approximately 2440 seconds.
Peak Overpressure: 1.55e+08 Pa = 1550 bars = 22000 psi
Max wind velocity: 10000 m/s = 22400 mph
Sound Intensity: 164 dB (Dangerously Loud)
Damage Description:
Multistory wall-bearing buildings will collapse.
Wood frame buildings will almost completely collapse.
Multistory steel-framed office-type buildings will suffer extreme frame distortion, incipient collapse.
Highway truss bridges will collapse.
Highway girder bridges will collapse.
Glass windows will shatter.
Cars and trucks will be largely displaced and grossly distorted and will require rebuilding before use.
Up to 90 percent of trees blown down; remainder stripped of branches and leaves.
...aww man what if that happens? I mean... man... bye bye me :(

I went to meteor crater in Arizona and they had a video similation and everything. It was totally bad :D . Nice find there, it\'s definally fun mesing with variables and discovering how much it takes to totally annialate the earth, however I have to wonder if there are any video simulations out there as the pretty graphics generally make the presentation alot nicer and user-friendly

Nice... thou I do not want my numbers to be true fer a metorite...
\"The Earth is completely disrupted by the impact and its debris forms a new asteroid belt orbiting the sun between Venus and Mars.\"
-
lol I got the same results as Enter the Xero
-
Try some more realistic measurements, like a 200 foot meteor hitting a neigboring town from yours. :D
[edit: Whoops, I checked it and 200 ft meteors dont even make it through the atmosphere whole. ^^ Try a 1200 ft meteor instead and see if your clothes survive the thermal radiation.]

Id rather have two earths colide into eachother ending all life :)

Try it!
The earth\'s diameter is 12,576 km. ^^
Or how about the moon at 3476 km?
Or any other planets colliding with our world.

thats wat i copied
dummy :P
it was there -.-;

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha! OMG my side still urts. *breaths* Ah okay, anyone hear about the comet thing that might hit earth in 2016?
They say is eighther gonna hit or barly pass us by a few miles. Its too far for them to know yet though.
-
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha! OMG my side still urts. *breaths* Ah okay, anyone hear about the comet thing that might hit earth in 2016?
Wait......What??........oh......Dear......GOD!!! WERE ALL GUNNA DIE!!! Quick help me build a shelter!!

i was thinking rather a plasma rayt o enlarge the meteor and see what happens :evil:

I like this, something cool yet teaches you something. ;)

Ya if it hits every thing will die unless ur like on the moon whn it hits. Spooky.... :(
Im only gonna be like 20 somthing if it hits! Sudennly my life feels like such a waste.

just hope your on that .01% and you\'\'ll be good :)
-
i hear sumthing about it, i heard it was gunna just be a cloud, could we nuke it???? or try to set it off course?
-
Hmm. Well, I don\'t need to worry. You see, I have chosen when to die and nothing will change that. nothing will kill me until I feel like dieing.
And I\'m guessing we could nuke the sh*t out of it but wouldnt that just break it up and make a lot of big things that will kill us all? ?(
And remember, its still like 12 years away. For all you know it\'ll miss us by 1,200,000 miles...literaly :D
-
yeah remember 2001 the meteor that barely missed us??? (was that a 9/11 omen?) anywase it could be like that,
also the peicies would either be nocked off course or disolve in our atmosphere......

Nasa is going to test the effects of causing an explosion on a speeding comet this year on the 4th of July, so be sure be to be looking at the stars that night. ^^ They are calling it, operation Deep Impact, naming it after the movie. o.o
http://www1.nasa.gov/mission_pages/deepimpact/main/index.html
http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/
They intend on sending an explosive satelite in the comet\'s path, observe the explosion, and hope that large chunks of it are sent back to earth. They highly doubt that this explosion will effect the comet\'s trajectory, but its another thing they are testing for.

HAHAHA. I typed in every number as high i could and it said that earth was now an astroid belt! :P

What a coincidence. A meteor just exploded over NC Wisconsin a few days back. I saw the flash, and the damn thing shook half the state. That will be the second one I\'ve experienced (I saw the first). Even a small one will toast your house. Scary.
-
Whoa. That is a very cool calculation site.

We recently had an Asteroid \'Miss\' us, but what you need to understand is, astronomical terms and everyday terms differ in what you would consider \'close.\' It was I believe around 1 million miles away, although I cannot recall. But for you this may not seem close, because 100 Miles can be far for you. But when these mofo\'s can travel at incredible speed\'s it indeed can be a closecall.
Nevertheless, don\'t worry about dying in 12 years, Just get laid before then. :)

hehe a intresting tool now all i need is to make something that can form a meteor so big it disrupts earth into a asteroid be-errr i mean to make something to pervent a meteor so big it disrupts earth into a asteroid belt yeah
