Of course, any fictional scenario is more likely to hit an ocean or miss
the planet. But that makes for a dull exercise.


For any hit, a lot depends on impactor size. With an impactor of the size
that took out the non-avian dinosaurs...the site of impact probably won't
matter to us if humanity is unable to deflect it.

See the RadioLab Dinopocalypse Redux from a few days ago for more on the
model.
