the earth probably gets thousands of hits daily but most don't get much further than the atmosphere.
More disasterous effects are of those of earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes etc. Best to keep an eye on Yellowstone too. It's a couple of thousand years overdue.

No we're not safe. A metoer could come crashing on our heads and we wouldn't even know what hit us. No body is completely safe from anything.

Thanks for the correction, though none of us would be able to tell the difference between a meteor, a metoerite, a comet or an asteriod when one hits us. I wasn't implementing anything by mentioning a "metoer". I was just saying that nobody is completely safe from anything. I mean the tsunami was a result of an earthquake, which can happen almost anywhere in the world where two or more tectonic plates meet. So this kind of earthquake could have happened in.. lets say los angeles, which is almost on the other side of the world from where this earthquake took place and the end result would have been pretty devestating nonetheless. I mean who in their wildest dream would have thought that this would happen?
yeah ure right, but the thing is, meteors burn up before entering the earth's surface.
Theres actually an asteriod on its way towards earth in about 25 years, but its VERY likely that it will go past earth, without collision as even the slightest angle in this distance would deviate it way too much.

Source??? ... Actually I heard that too, but I want to know where it came from.
can a tsumani be caused by human intervention ??? like underground nukes etc. when a experiments go wrong while developing next generation of natural disasters weapons!
I am sure many of us have seen that film when experiment went wrong and created this kind of situation. dont remember the name though.
This is what happened in reality: Whales are purty pissed about humans hunting and pushing their species to extinction. As a revenge, bunch of them got together and blew a massive fart in perfect harmony causing the Tsunami.
