Ron & all,

I would have to add Sudbury to the list.

This event, involving a gigantic nine kilometer diameter rock traveling at
30 kilometers
per second, slamming into the earth with an impact force equivalent to the
detonation
of several billion tons of TNT!

Be ready, if that sized impactor ever hits again, we may be doomed!
I'm sure we all hope someone is watching our collective human asses.....
