For reference, the circular disc he's shooting at would roughly represent the entire Gulf of Mexico region. The Chicxulub impact occurred at the tip of what is now the Yucatán Peninsula and was an asteroid about 7 miles wide. So the scale of the disc would fit some of eastern/southern Mexico and the Gulf region of the southeast U.S., along with some of Central America as well.

[@shimatetsuo2019]

The Earth looked different back then. There was no Gulf of Mexico.

[@damondriver6363]

@@shimatetsuo2019 yep. The chicxulub impact actually helped shape the gulf of Mexico over millions of years. You see the impact zone is at the far southern side of the gulf, the rest of the gulf expands northward towards modern day Florida. Thats because the chicxulub asteroid most likely hit at a 30° angle, moreso facing towards what is now Florida, IE most of the energy from the impact was released Northward. If it had hit at a 90°, or even a 50-60° angle it would have been much much more devastating and not nearly as many creatures would have been able to survive

[@bjornragnarsson8692]

It can fire at different angles as you can see if you finished watching the clip. The second shot from a shallow angle created an egg shaped crater confirming that’s how the asteroid made impact. Plus, this is a light gas gun. It’s not used just to study the Chicxulub impact. They can be used to study the impact of any hypersonic projectile against a surface, whether the surface is represented by a piece of the Earth, a satellite, rocket, or ISS as pierrecurie said. They can alter the size, shape, and material composition of the projectile fired, just like they can alter the size, shape, and material composition of the target material. Aside from impact events, this apparatus is used to study the effects of supersonic projectiles, whether fired from a weapon or launched into space, and their durability in flight and upon impact.

[@Krishnaprasad-tc6vk]

The impact alone could take out many Marian lives but at the same time the energy from the impact could have caused a series of chain reactions that lead to the mass extinction. I think the impact along with magnitude 13 earthquake is very much enough to wake up each and every volcanoes from their nap. Tsunamis, landslides and the increasing temperature... One followed by the other. It's clear that life of land was literally unimaginable but I have one question... What about life on water? Acid rain? But is it enough to pollute the whole sea and wipe out everything in water

This really doesnt do this inpact justice. Upon impacting just the atmosphere first, the sound (ear drums annihilated, glass broken 3000 miles away) , the release of thermal radiation (instant igniting of clothing, flesh, oil), the preasure wave and velocity, brightness, all before even impacting the ground sea. After impact, the super heated ejecta thrown up into space, the super heating of the atmopshere causing instant forest fires hundreds-thousands of miles from ground zero, rather powerful storms/hurricanes due to the immense heating of the atmosphere and water upon the ejectas ballistic return to earth. Than the fires possibly put out as the preasure waves radiates out at hypersonic speed (closest to ground zero), and supersonic speeds further out leveling any man made structure, and the earthquakes...then much later on the tsunamic comes and drowns everything lmao. A true hell on earth for the area thousands of miles in diameter from where it impacted the crust. All of this happening within the first 20mins of the meteor penetrating the atmopshere. I love deep impact (Armageddon sucks) but golly its laughably unrealistic-more so than the average hollywood big budget boondoggle. Anyway, its truly hard to grasp the deveststion that would occur so quicky and over such a large area of the earth.
