Damn, just as I enter the emerald isle of Ireland, all will be destroyed by a comet. That really sucks, for I’ve been looking forward to this trip for months. That’s my luck though. 
According to Eric Julien, a former French military air traffic controller and senior airport manager, a fragment of the comet 73P Schwassmann- Wachmann is highly likely to impact the Earth on or around May 25, 2006.
Using NASA
simulations of the comet’s path, Julien concludes that impact is likely
around May 25 precisely when the comet crosses the Earth’s ecliptic
plane. While the first fragment will cross at approximately 10 million
miles, lagging fragments threaten to collide. While astronomers have
stated that the comet poses no direct threat, Julien argues that some
fragments are too small to observe. Astronomers have predicted possible
meteor showers indicating some cometary debris will enter the
atmosphere. Julien argues that the kinetic energy of even a ‘car sized’ fragment
will impact the Earth with devastating effect. He concludes the May 25
event is tied in to the Bush administration’s policy of preemptive use
of nuclear weapons against Iran,
and the effect of nuclear weapons on the realms of higher
intelligences. Regarding its importance, Julien declares: "we have to
save lives when we have such information to share with the public". He
further claims it important "to preserve all data, historical artifacts
and precious material in the event of such a collision." Julien
predicts that the comet collision will occur in the Atlantic Ocean
between the Equator and the Tropic of Cancer, and generates 200 meter
waves. Julien concludes that "each person with this information has to
take responsibility to warn potential victims."
