There's at least 8 that left impact craters over 300 km.

Consider this scenario: some authority says there's a significantly large asteroid on target to hit earth. Do the conspiracy theorists pipe up and say ignore the threat because it's a hoax? Do politicians say it's under control and not to worry? Is society so fragmented that nothing gets done and we all perish due to tsunami or extended deep freeze?
