With the current estimate of the absolute magnitude of the nucleus M2 = 10.3, which might indicate the diameter up to 50 km, the energy of impact might reach the equivalent of staggering 2ื10นบ megatonnes! This kind of event can leave a crater 500 km across and 2 km deep.
One that size could possible destroy Mars and we'd be in a world of poop. Just imagine the pieces of Mars heading our way. Not a good thought. Tho extinction for us does come to mind.
