Scientists pinpoint WHERE 'city-destroying' asteroid could hit Earth
80% Informative
Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 2.1 per cent chance of hitting Earth in 2032 .
NASA engineer David Rankin has sketched the 'risk corridor' for the asteroid's current trajectory.
It should fall in a narrow band stretching from South America across the Pacific to sub-Saharan Africa and into Asia .
Worryingly, this path extends over several densely populated regions including Chennai , India and Hainan Island , China .
With a diameter of up to 90 metres ( 300ft ), the asteroid could cause devastating damage to any populated area along the corridor.
It is currently the only large asteroid with an impact probability greater than one per cent.
