Would a 1835 or 1910 collision with Halley's Comet be too preposterous to take seriously?

I'm working on a bit of world building, and I was curious if it seemed to much more experienced worldbuders than I that including a collision with Halley's Comet in 1835 or 1910 as a major plot would seem to preposterous to be taken seriously. The closest Halley's has ever been recorded to pass to earth is 1/15 of an astronomical unit (the distance between the earth and the sun). It was known to pass our orbit in 1835, 1910, and 1986, with 1910 the closer shave.
