So thats bad, right? I think the earthquakes and ringing from the entire event would flatten every building and greek column on the planet.

Awesome video! Dont bother learning to swim I suppose.

This has a lot more to do with super-nifty computer graphics than anything remotely close to what an event like this would look like.

Asteroids don't look spherical and round like the moon, and an object that large would either go into orbit around the sun or hit a planet with a stronger gravitational pull first, like Jupiter.

Pretty silly stuff. But, hey - whatever, it looks cool, and some bible-thumper left an inadvertantly funny comment about the Book of Revelatons on the YouTube page for this vid.

Them crazy scientists are sure that an object the size of Mars collided with Earth and formed the moon.

There is nothing to say that an object the size of Ceres or larger isnt on a collision course with Earth right now. Thankfully its improbable enough that we're still here. There are enough multiple star systems out there and systems with giant planets to eject any objects of any size on any wild course you can imagine. The chance of such objects going into orbit around the Sun or hitting Jupiter are certainly higher than slamming Earth but, never say never. The dinosaurs said never.

I think their model looked too benign... that was one huge rock.

this would be the day i fill my tub full of jack daniels and put on old episodes of bj and the bear.

"That's no moon....it's a space station."

purdy! i thought the smouldering big ben was a nice touch

Isn't this the third time this video has made it to the front page? The other two videos feature dead links. Copyright infringement again...

I'm pretty sure it's been previously submitted too.
