Wow, you'd think the exceedingly remote chance that 2024 YR4 was going to impact the Earth in 2032 was like really big news. Ya know, even if it did impact the Earth the chances of it hitting land are ~30%. Ya, it could cause a big tsunami, but people would get warned. So there's a vanishingly remote chance this thing will cause any damage on Earth. Let's wait until its next pass in 2028, do the math, and then see if it's worth getting all work up about it.
