The year is 2036, and NASA was dead wrong. The asteroid Apophis, meant to have no greater than a 1 in 45000 chance of striking earth, did. They had kept the true size of the asteroid hidden, so as to not cause panic and worldwide pandemonium. They claimed it wouldn't even cause a worldwide winter, and losses of life would be under 10 million. That was wrong too.
Apophis did hit the Earth, with a force, not equivlant to 800 mega-tons of tnt, but 1800.
And it killed not 10 million, but 5 billion.
