A near miss - and nobody said
An asteroid which may be as big as a ten-storey building has passed close by the Earth, astronomers say.
The object, known as 2009 DD45, thought to be 21-47m (68-152ft) across, raced by our planet at 1344 GMT on Monday

It makes me wonder whether we would be told if 'the big one' is coming
...so much for 'open government' and 'freedom of info'
...are they afraid of mass panic?
...and would we run riot?
