2. Having watched the 1st segment students make their own predictions on what they thing
will happen.
“We're on,
Mr President.
Our missiles have failed. The comets are still headed for Earth... and there's nothing we can do to stop
them. So, this is it. If the world does go on... it (1) will not go on for everyone.
We have now been able to calculate the comets' final trajectories, and we have determined where they
(2) are going to strike. The smaller of the 2 comets, Biederman, (3) will hit first, somewhere along the
Atlantic Seaboard probably in the waters off the coast of Cape Hatteras in just under 12 hours at 4:35 p.m.
Eastern daylight time. The impact of the comet (4) is going to be... Well, disastrous.
There (5) will be a very large tidal wave moving quickly through the Atlantic Ocean. It (6) will be 100 feet
high, travelling at 1100 miles an hour. That's faster than the speed of sound.
As the wave reaches shallow water,(7) it's going to slow down, but the wave height, depending on the
depth of the shelf off the coast, (8) will be anywhere from 1000 to 4500 feet high. Where the land is flat,
the wave (9) will wash inland 600 to 700 miles. The wave (10) will hit our nation's capital 40 minutes after
impact.
New York City, Boston, Atlanta, Philadelphia... all (11) will be destroyed. If you have any means of getting
away from the path of this wave, leave now.
The impact of the larger comet (12) will be nothing less than an extinction-level event. It (13) will strike
land in Western Canada 3 hours after Biederman. Within a week, the skies (14) will be dark with dust from
the impact and they (15) will stay dark for 2 years.
All plant life (16) will be dead within... 4 weeks. Animal life within... a few months.
So that's it.
Good luck to us all.”
