RE: [meteorite-list] Scientists came within minutes of warning about asteroid impact..

Dirk,   Mind you, there probably isn’t much point in telling the world, what would we do? We would have no idea of where is would hit until a few minutes before, so why panic anyway?  Apart from stocking up on fur coats and food for the coming ‘nuclear winter’, not much else we could do!   But hey - If I’m gonna go, I’d rather it be ‘death-by-meteorite’   Mark Ford     -----Original Message----- From: drtanuki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 February 2004 12:52 To: mark ford; meteorite-list Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Scientists came within minutes of warning about asteroid impact..   Dear  Mark and list,      Thank you for the posting.  Don`t worry the next one or two will hit!  And there will be not announcement until after the fact.  Mass panic would not add to any survival.  Best target NE-E USA or Canada....it is a cycle....why don`t the press put that information out? Because it would only cause more panic in an uncertain world?  Best to you.  Sincerely,  Dirk Ross Yamaguchi University, Japan, Faculity of Science, Earth Sciences, Impact Researcher   The time window for this stream ends at about 2008.
