What If the Moon Crashed Into Earth?

What would happen if the Moon crashed into Earth? You have five days, and the sea gets you first. What if the Moon fell to Earth, day by day: the tides grow 8, 60, then 1,000 times stronger, your town floods twice a day, and then the Moon does something almost nobody expects. It never lands. In this animated what-if story you watch the Moon fall from your own front porch: laser mirrors left by astronauts catch it moving, the ground itself starts to tide, the Roche limit tears the Moon apart (just like comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 at Jupiter), and Earth ends up with rings like Saturn.
