I was watching the movie Armageddon, and I was wondering about something they said. In the movie, the asteriod/meteor/thinger, about the size of Texas, crashed through the asteriod belt and caused a major meteor shower on earth, creating all kind of major damage.

What is the possibility, if an meteor of that size did "crash through" the asteriod belt, would it actually hit anything IN the belt, or are the asteriods too far apart? And if it did hit them, would they actually head towards Earth, or would they scatter? I'm thinking they would scatter about...

But I'm no expert on anything. That's why I'm asking.
