Potentially Hazardous Object: "Near the start of October 2008, NASA had listed 982 PHAs and 65 PHCs.[3] The total Solar System inventory continues to grow, as of 2010, 1,111 PHA are known.[2] Searches for yet-undiscovered PHOs are ongoing, with the most prolific the year prior to June 2005 being the LINEAR and Catalina surveys. Once found, each PHO is studied by various means, including optical, infrared and radar observations, to further determine its characteristics, such as size, composition, rotation state, and to more accurately determine its orbit. Both professional and amateur astronomers participate in such monitoring."
Also, you forgot about the Tunguska event. No planet get special exemptions, including our wee ball of rock.
