It's only 1,100 square feet. Even if it did hit us it would only be like a medium sized nuclear bomb blast, and considering 75% of Earth is ocean it would probably just land in the water, make a small tidal wave, and that's it, maybe a few polynesians get killed. Or it lands in Russia, that's where the last two sizable asteroids hit - Tunguska in 1908 and Chelyabinsk in 2013 and as brutal as those two impacts were they only knocked down trees, some windows, and made big noises. I don't think anyone died from either event.
 
"In fact, we are being told that Apophis will actually be ten times closer than the Moon as it zips past the Earth."

We're fucked. That means it will be around 2.5 million miles closer to the Earth than the moon.
 
I wonder if people will bet on the land mass it hits. Water would be no win because that's not any fun, while small islands give the highest payout and the payout trickles down according to land size.... Or should the payout be based on population density?

I want to bet $1 on the 1 billion to 1 odds that it lands in the hole of an active volcano on a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean at the exact moment the volcano was starting to erupt and the asteroid plugs the hole and actually stops a disaster from happening. And then all the native islanders worship the asteroid as a god for stopping the volcano.
