It would leave a huge impact crater where it hit and if it landed in an ocean it would make a huge wave. If it landed in the dessert it would spread dust all over the world and kill people. That's how the dinosaurs died.

Is it true that a giant asteroid is about to hit the earth in 2014?

No, there is no evidence to support the claim that a giant asteroid was going to hit Earth in 2014. Astronomers keep a close eye on potentially hazardous asteroids, and there are protocols in place to deal with any potential threats.

What are the chances of 1 2 3 or even 9 LARGE asteroids hitting Earth and how can this be computed?

The odds of a large asteroid hitting the Earth is 1 to 1; 100%. It WILL happen. We just don't know WHEN. In fact, I'd guarantee that probably 1,000 "large" asteroids will hit the Earth over the course of the next 4 to 5 BILLION years, which is how long we expect the Earth to exist. After that, there's a chance that the Earth will be destroyed when the Sun expands into a red giant. We really can't know the odds that a large asteroid will hit the Earth in any given time period. This year? Next year? Within the next 100 years? Small, but not zero, and we can't get more precise than that. Every few months, we discover a new asteroid that either just did or is about to zip past the Earth within a fairly close (less than the lunar distance) range. So far, they've all missed. But things DO strike the Earth, with some frequency. There was the biggie 65 million years ago that wiped out the dinosaurs, and one that may have struck northern Canada about 15,000 years ago and caused the "Younger Dryas" mini-ice age. There's some speculation that something crashed into the Indian Ocean about 3,500 years ago, and the resulting tsunami might have inspired the legends of Gilgamesh and Noah's Ark. In 1908, something caused a nuclear-bomb-level blast in Tunguska, Siberia, which was caused by either a stray comet, some sort of giant meteor or small asteroid, or perhaps a UFO, crashed into the Earth.

No. There is no way to eliminate all life on Earth even if we wanted to. It would take a massive asteroid impact to do that.
