According to NASA, the asteroid Apophis will pass just above the Earth's atmosphere at 30 kilometers. If it passes under that 30-kilometer mark, it will create a flash and a sonic boom, equivalent to 100 times louder than any other supersonic jet.

it will not crash into the Earth, nor will the Earth be able to capture it due to its speed, but it will surely create a flash and a sonic boom if it passes below the 30-kilometer mark.

I am still calculating based on earth axis rotation speed and the speed around the sun what side of the earth will be exposed to the extreme sonic boom and the extreme flash that day.

Considering the actual speed of the asteroid travelling at about 30 kilometers per second, at an angle that's tangent to the earth and entering 5 kilometers into the earth's atmosphere, the flash will take about 10 seconds, and that will give you time to protect your ears and eyes from glass Debree flying around due to the shock wave.

I am conducting virtual experiments with virtual NASA module size rocks to see how far into the atmosphere and how closed to the earth ground this type of moving objects could penetrate to make a rough calculation of what type of flash we will be exposed to, and how we can better protect against the blast that is similar to a mini nuclear blast but without a pulse.

The key to deflect it into another orbit so its farther away, is by injecting a push while the asteroid is in the threshold of its potential energy not the threshold of its kinetic and therefore causing it to transfer orbit like with a delta V.
