Attention everyone............
Asteroids pose greatest danger to the Earth and human life on it. Aren’t they? An asteroid identified as 2019 GT3 will approach dangerously towards Earth on September 6, 2019 at 12:21 am EDT. Classified as potentially hazardous asteroid, the space rock is being tracked by NASA. According to the NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the approaching asteroid is almost as big as the Empire State Building. It is to be noted that asteroids (space rocks) are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. The space rocks approach towards the Earth due to the gravitational forces that affect them. Asteroids can bring tsunamis, shock waves and flattening winds that could be catastrophic. A large number of asteroids are hovering all around the Earth and we might get hit too sooner or later. In August this year, asteroids identified as 2019 ON, 2006 QQ23, 454094 2013 BZ45, 2018 PN22, 2016 PD, 2002 JR100 and 2019 OU1 would have hit our planet. Lucky we are, as they all failed to hit our planet and we are safe.
Coming back to the asteroid 2019 GT3, it is one of the biggest space rocks that will approach Earth this month. According to CNEOS, the asteroid is currently traveling at a speed of 30,500 miles per hour. It is estimated to have a diameter of 1,214 feet. According to a report of ibtimes.com, the asteroid is capable of creating a crater that’s about 3 miles wide if it collides with Earth. This means the asteroid is powerful enough to destroy an entire city during an impact event. Yes, you read it right.

Answer:
Yes it's correct I also read it in Google.
I also read that NASA is teaming up with ESA and would send an aircraft that would collide with the asteroid and protect the humans if a close encounter arises.
