Wow, that's amazing. I didn't know LA had a downtown area. I thought it was just spread out over a thousand square miles.
Since it's melting and sublimating, bring your own diving gear and wet suit. Between the heavier-than-air CO2 hugging the ground and the ice water, that might be the best choice. Note that hard hats are ineffective against falling icebergs.Is this a limited time appearance, or will it be there for a while? I would like to get out to see it sometime. :tongue:

How about over Las Vegas?? It would provide a sort of "Biblical ending" to the place...
(bonus points for what movie that line is from...)
Later! OL JR
I loved it when you nuked Las Vegas. Suitably biblical ending to the place, don't you think?

Insects will become the dominant species on the planet in the aftermath.
Cool. Found this calculator, different than the one I found years ago that I prefer, but I can't find now:That is the Rosetta Comet, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It is 4 km wide which is about 2.5 miles. It is moving up to five times faster than the International Space Station, which orbits about 17,000 miles per hour, or about 85,000 miles per hour. Humans have not built anything that has achieved that speed.
At 85,000 miles per hour it punches through our atmosphere in a fraction of a second. On land it makes a crater about 14 miles in diameter. Standing 200 miles away it creates 3rd degree burns on the body and paper, grass, trees and plywood ignites. About a minute later the ground shakes which causes moderate damage to structures. Fifteen minutes after the quake the air blast arrives knocking wood frame buildings and 90% of all trees down. The blast is equal to 600,000 megatons of nuclear bombs all going off at one place, instantaneously.
:hot::hot:Everything within a 200 mile radius of where it hit is a flattened, burning pile of scattered debris.:hot::hot:
Why am I telling you this?

According to Wikipedia entry about the Helios spacecraft, it achieved 157,000 mph.
