Let's hope that there isn't a larger surprise object with the small ones.

I think any safe distance (to be able to observe) would have been some way "off planet" - perhaps sitting on the Moon. Probably total cloud cover due to dust and other exploded into atmosphere.

P.S. Sorry about repeated image, I wanted to add caption :) :)
