I believe that's where the idea for Armageddon came from. Many years ago there was a lot of talk about what would happen if a meteor were to hit the earth and the speculation that that's what caused the death of the dinosaurs. (I like Armageddon as well as Independence Day just because they are fun and silly movies.)

I also confess that I get a little teary every time Bruce Willis says goodbye to Liv Tyler.
And if you tell anybody, you'll be sorry!

Actually, the geological record indicates that the Earth may have been hit by TWO major impacts in the past, the most well known being the Chixulub event. Astronomers agree that it's not a matter of IF the Earth will be struck again, but WHEN.
