Is Massive Bennu asteroid really to hit Earth? Worldwide concern and What we know so far

A massive asteroid "Bennu" reported to hit and destroy earth. Is it really happening or will this be the end of humanity? How true is it because this issue is a worldwide concern.

Bennu is classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid, or PHA. There is a small (1 in 2,700) chance that Bennu will hit Earth late in the 22nd century. If Bennu did hit Earth, it would release the energy equivalent of 1,450 megatons of TNT, creating an impact crater about 5 kilometers (about 3 miles) in diameter. That’s over 70,000 times more energy than was released by the atomic bomb that fell on Hiroshima.

NASA: No, Asteroid Bennu Won't Destroy Earth.
