Is it?

There is a 250,000/1 chance of a collision with Apophis in 2029, though some scientist believe that after the 2029 close approach may hit a gravitational keyhole which could change the orbit of the Asteroid, setting up a collision in 2036.

Apophis needs more scrutiny, but as of now, it poses little threat.

Astroboy forgot to tell you that the actual threat was recently updated to about a one in two hundred and fifty thousand chance of hitting Earth. As years go by, the tracking of this asteroid, as well as others, will refine and re-define the trajectory.
