Three times ten to the seventh meters per second. 30 million meters per second. 67, 122, 436.29583592 miles per hour. Approximately.

Scary as hell-! 78 minutes til arriving. 😮

[Elthenar]

The part he left out. What good is an evacuation? At that speed it doesn't matter where it hits, it's going to kill you.

[crispinjulius]

I’m not a math wizard. How fast is the object going in Layman’s terms? Preferably, MPH.

[samrusso]

the sphere could land in new york when it causes mayhem

[datmeme]

Hey... an object is on a collision course with earth and will hit Manhattan destroying the earth. Everybody get in a helicopter, we're gonna fly you there!

[PointyTailofSatan]

67M MPH to landing in 78 min works out to a deceleration of 650G's. Hope they have some good inertial dampeners. lol

[charleswilson]

I'd not be too happy. Could happen too.

[eat_ze_bugs]

Of course it'll land on Manhattan. Where else could it be?

[JacobChacko]

Why couldn't he just say 30 Million metres per second or even better 30 Thousand Kilometres per second ?
Wow.... that's a 10th of the Speed of Light ....

[thomasmartin]

its always a city in usa. think about it, usa. 😏

[Americanpatriot-zotk]

Why can’t the aliens like destroy Baltimore Detroit their big pains out as... anyways!

[Lonewanderer]

Moronic movie. At that speed an impact would have no safe distance, there would be no point evacuating to anywhere.
