Seems the video is a bit inaccurate tho, probably for better effect, as I don't think the atmosphere would just vanish.

It will most likely be blasted away from the planet, I think you can see it when the asteroid hits.

Isnt it believed by some researchers that in-case of a big meteor/asteroid like that hitting Earth, the atmosphere would just burn. Cant remember exactly how it was, but the point is, even much smaller asteroid could kill most life on earth due to the dust etc. that would raise up to the atmosphere and either poison it (=acid rains) and/or block the sunlight on most parts of the earth causing the temperature to lower very fast.

Hmm, yeah, it will either burn or get blown away by the shockwave.

Aye, something like that. But darn scary. I mean, it sounds so distant now, but it can be just tomorrow that they spot an asteroid coming at earth.

I am pretty safe, no one is crazy enough to nuke a town as irrelevant as the one I live in. But if they did, the town would quite likely cease to exist.

^^This. Sometimes it just pays to live in a small town like this. (tho it's kinda close to the Russian border. )
