EXERCISE: 2019 IAA Planetary Defence Conference - Day 5 Scenario

Tue May 7 20:16:19 UTC 2019

Yes, they kept moving the impact site around all week (both Denver and
West Africa were mentioned at times). Some people wiser than I guessed
Central Park early on, but I thought that was too obvious. Good thing
I didn't make a bet on it.
