66 millions years ago, the 160 millions years -long reign of the dinosaurs ended after a cataclysm fallen from the sky. A giant asteroid twice larger than Mount Everest killed 75 % of living species.
The consequences of the impact have never been exactly described before.
I propose you to discover what if this happened today if this asteroid fell again in the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico), in real time for the first hour after the impact, according various parameters :
- Thermal radiations (the fireball)
- Air blast (overpressure and shockwave velocity)
- Earthquake (estimated at 10.4 on Richter Scale)
- Ejecta worldwide spread (ejecta size and thickness deposits)
- Tsunami generated by the impact
