Would we survive if the earth was hit by a 2 mile wide comet traveling at 200,000 km/h?

Anything over a kilometer is bad news bears
I don't know shit but wouldn't the location of the impact increase or decrease the risks.
Comet in the Atlantic ocean vs continental United States

it would be extremely destructive

>Would we survive
I'd have to recheck my calculations, but rough guess, that's about the same as a 800 MT nuke. some of us might survive for awhile

didn't the dinosaurs go extinct from something hitting the earth with about the same size?
>>8447286
>something
that would be an asteroid, which is
somewhat more dense than a comet,
therefore more destructive

Knownothing here
does the fact that it's a comet and not an asteroid make a difference?
