TWO monster asteroids – one of which nearly killed woman – heading this way right NOW TWO giant potentially deadly asteroids, including a two-mile space rock which nearly killed a woman during a previous pass of Earth, are hurtling this way at up to 43,000 miles an hour. One of them, 2008 CM, a 1.2 mile chuck of rock, is set to skim the planet in just three DAYS on December 29. Both are classed as Apollo asteroids – a group of nearly 7,000 which cross the Earth’s orbit and are known to often send large numbers of meteorites crashing to the surface of our planet. The infamous meteorite which exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in October 2013, injuring 1,000 people, is believed to have originated from an Apollo asteroid. http://www.express.co.uk/news/science/629559/TWO-monster-asteroids-one-of-which-nearly-killed-woman-heading-this-way-right-NOW
