Pekka,

I happen to believe that the British media, generally reported the =
facts quite well, they were generally quick to add that there was only a =
[chance] of an impact (1 in 909,000 was widely quoted), and more would =
be known in the next few days. I never heard anyone say it was definite! =
I think they actually reported it how it was!

They are right to report these potential dangers, (but I agree it might =
be better if the astronomers waited a few days until they knew further =
orbital data).

To give out false information is just a way to find great "sensations",
to wait a day and give the right information is ok. This case was just
the same like an year ago from the british "astronomers". Don=B4t =

40% of british people belive in the consspiracy in the death of the =
princess

The line of NASA is a the correct way to inform about this possibility. =

future.=20

I live 4 kilometers from Suvasvesi impact-structure, and because
of that also my kids know, there has been bigger hits and there will be
bigger hits in the future.=20

But the way press and news handled this item is just a way to get more=20
sold and more watchers, this is immoral and makes only damage.

take care,
