(upbeat electronic music)
- From the situation room.
We now have sight of the meteor heading towards earth,
but at this moment it is still unclear
as to whether or not it will hit.
What we do know is that all resources
are being used to minimize risk.
This could be the end.
I will keep you posted
as we attempt to get the situation under control.
