Yawn and yawn again

Are we really bothered that a space rock ‘the size of Gibraltar’ going at 73,000 mph missed us by a million miles yesterday, making its closest approach at 1:24 p.m.? As it’s not big enough to cause an extinction-level event, we could almost hope that this rock had landed somewhere troublesome, like Syria.
    Apparently, it was our closest shave since Toutatis missed us by another million miles in 2004.
