Irresponsible reporting! Twitter is NOT the place for this kind of reports!!! Wtf

that notification scared tbe fuck out of me

Didn't they watch Armegeddon? Call Bruce Willis and the drill team.

Our 🌍 is in a 6th extinction period. Climate change is an existential crisis of humanity’s genesis. Nukes are another man made phenomenon which threatens civilization. Last but not least, asteroids r an ever present danger. We don’t know when + we don’t know where 1 will hit!

Seriously ABC news your better than Click bait titles, right?

They had better have a Plan “B” just in case it fails…

What ever

The heart attack I was about to have 😭

bro im high as shit I thought my ass was bouta die

Well played, ABC. Well played.

That click bait is real

Wth dont scare me like that!

A News company puts out a click bait article. It's real and happens all too often. This article is an example of irresponsible journalism due to ABC's struggle to stay relevant.

Do better with your wording and stop the click bait!!!!!!!

Apparently none of you believe that God is the one in control.. not NASA! When the time comes, only God takes care of human life!

Can it land on Russia or the United states first?

Alphabet network news, 'Giant asteroid about to hit Earth, this is how the GOP is responsible for it....'

Y'all foul for that opening statement though-

Not to worry Bruce Willis and his group of 'astronauts' will save us 😂

Yall shady ass hell. I started to pray to Jesus. click baiting ABC news.😏

I guess clickbait isn't beneath you. Smdh....please do better.

I legit started to cry...

Well maybe if it works 😂 go leap in a lake oh wait it all ready happened in a gulf so long along ago in a county called Mexico!!!

Lawd have mercy! What are trying to do, give us a heart attack?!

Lets just get it over with already

Didn’t DART successfully knock it out of its path? From the NASA_App :

i was there when this didn’t happen

Haha click bait much? ☠️🤣🤣🤣

Y'all wrong for that

😅🤣

It's a test. To prepare. Next even remote possibility of any danger from an asteroid will be in 100 years.

Irresponsible Headline!!!! As a former ABC News employee I’m ashamed!

Y’all play to much 😂

A little late for April fools

Man, I thought this was breaking news. You got my hopes up ☹️

I hate clickbait!

Will be way preferable to a nuclear war between USA 🇺🇸 & RUSSIA 🇷🇺.

what if the impact changes the trajectory, toward Earth?

the only real threat to human life is humanity

Glad someone wants to end the threats. tRump would want them to Rack the Stars

Right now, women are furious Biden would say something like that, especially when so many women have been sexually harassed at the age. What has them even more upset is how the women in the crowd just laughed it off.

Biden just announced aid for the asteroid in a 20 billion dollar packag titled ‘Will Not Hit Earth Bill.’ We are doomed.

Anything can happen at any time if Allah wants it to

Ok I was about the freak out!
