Near Earth Objects Planet hit on - Where is the safest place to live?

Most people do not know how often our planet just missed "The Big One", as in a large meteor or asteroid hitting the Earth, and such a NEO or Near-Earth-object hitting the Earth is guaranteed, many there were in the is past and many in the future. Really great life could for most species on the planet, in fact, end, yes, perhaps wiping out a good chuck of the human race too. Not funny.

Not long ago I met a friend in Ecuador and he said helived there because of its location. Now I asked him, "you will be convinced that a NEO will strike the Earth and cause catastrophic problems, huge waves, near the equator makes the most sense, and since Ecuador on the equator and has one of the highest mountain It is therefore the safest place? "

You see a really large NEO hitting the Earth as in 50-100 meters in diameter could be a giant tsunami in Indonesia causing tsunami look like a fly hit the JacuzziWater to a mega-tsunami of such enormous proportion, unless you were living at high altitude over (in the mountains) or 500 miles from the coast, you can not make it.

But when a NEO, the Earth and the Earth's atmosphere at higher altitudes makes perhaps the most dangerous threat to the air is already thin, would thus sea level are better, so, Death Valley CA, inland waterways, safely ft 1000 tsunami and still, 200 meters below sea level, in this case, it is perhaps the best. Switchesout that the software modeling of such an event depends on the location of impact, everything could place on earth quite uncertain, both the short and long term.

And Ecuador volcanoes also such a great shaking of the earth, would in large movements of plate tectonics cause many volcanoes erupt simultaneously, including those within 500-1000 miles from my friends at home and the current position. Add to prevailing weather conditions and after such an event and changed, all bets are-From a result of changes from a strike by a major strength.

According to space weather [dot] com, and a giant asteroid about ten meters in diameter exploded in the atmosphere not long ago to Indonesia and saw no one in the NEO community are other space weather are identified;

"The break-up was so powerful that it triggered sensors test ban thousands of miles away. A just-released analysis of the data shows that infrasound ignited the asteroid with an energy equivalent ofabout 50 kilotons of TNT, similar to a small nuclear bomb. This has important implications relatively little attention in the Western press. "

You see, not only should this have been a wake-up call, but we should consider the implications for humanity, if such an event occurs in our lives? Please note all this because if you fail to plan, you are doomed essentially planning to fail, and we all know that errors in this case is not an option.
