In this episode, we delve into the catastrophic event that occurred sixty-six million years ago when an asteroid traveling at 45,000 miles per hour collided with Earth. This impact created an 18-mile deep crater, unleashing devastating winds, seismic waves, and tsunamis. We explore how this asteroid caused the extinction of the dinosaurs by blocking out the sun, disrupting the food chain from plants to herbivores to carnivores. Recent discoveries offer a clear snapshot of the events on that fateful day.
