Creepy that it happened on the same day that asteroid 2012 DA14 passed by within 17,000 miles of us, closer than some satellites are. But they say its unrelated.
And as far as predictability, there is no way to see all of them coming. I mean, we only know about 10% or so of the asteroids around us, there is no way we can see every single little one coming. If a huge one ever hit us, more than likely we would have little to no warning anyway. might as well live without fear of those flying rocks!

In 2019, asteroid Apophis will be on a collision course towards us. If it misses us, it will be so close, the naked eye can see it during the day. If it misses us. It was a close call last time, but they believe this next go round might be it. It would destroy an area bigger than Texas, and can you imagine it hitting the ocean? They are "making preparations" apparently, but I can't imagine how they could stop an object that large going that fast. Not the mention Apophis is not moving like a typical asteroid. It is "tumbling", not just moving through orbit. It is quite the rogue asteroid.
