What I don't understand is from this site:
http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/torino_scale.html
Level 8
Quote:
A collision is certain, capable of causing localized destruction for an impact over land or possibly a tsunami if close offshore. Such events occur on average between once per 50 years and once per several 1000 years.

but then on the other link posted in the thread, for the next hundred years it shows only the maximum on the Torino scale as 1.
Seems a bit off if you ask me...
