Such a misleading title. I think this means the chances of any individual person getting hit is 1 in 21,680,754,240,000?

No, to quote from the article:

"The odds of it hitting someone anywhere on the planet are 1 in 3,200. "

Perhaps you are confusing "chances of any person getting hit" with "chances of you getting hit", which is not what the title says.
