Don’t gotta click that link to know which scene from End of ze World that time stamp is for.

No longer poses “significant impact risk”?? It never did!!
Risk in this sense is a statistical term for the probability of something undesirable happening. So the risk decreased even though the steroid didn’t actually change its track. What changed is our measure of the odds of the impact.
Yeah, I know. But the risk was never “significant”.
The expectation value was huge at one point: a few percent probability of hitting the planet multiplied by the enormous cost of it hitting the planet (in terms of life and money and environmental damage).
BOOOO
You were supposed to kill me
I know. nothing but bad news.
It might hit the moon though!
Whoa, imagine seeing the moon glow again from all the melted rock.
… I mean for the first time ever, since I am human & partake in such regular human activities as not existing when the moon formed.
