Poor dinosaurs must have been very frightened 😢

[@Booger-u6m]

Once they noticed the effects of the impact, mainly earthquakes, yeah, they were terrified, no doubt. Within 6 hours or so after the impact, the entire planet was shaking, ringing like a bell, with earthquakes as powerful as 11 in some places. (In an earthquake that strong, you'd see the ground literally ripple in waves up to a couple feet high. Standing upright becomes impossible.) They would have stampeded, desperately looking for safer ground, but there was none. While the ground shook, debris from the impact began to rain back down through the atmosphere, heating it over several hours to temperatures far above what they were used to and still climbing. Soon, the temp reached 150°F and animals in the open were dying en masse from the heat. The temperature reached 212°F (100°C). Any animal left out in the open, if it was still conscious, would be roasting alive. The temperature kept climbing until trees and other vegetation auto-ignited (450°F and up). It's unlikely anything in the open was still alive at this point unless it was very low to the ground and scrambling for shelter. Yeah, any critters alive and conscious would have been terrified.

I remember aanother similar programme that said that when the impact occurred, it punched its way through the atmosphere so fast, that it was like having a hole in the atmosphere, as the air didnt have time to close the gap created . So at the impact point and around it, was entirely open to space, along with the freezing cold of zero atmosphere.

[@lazaruslazuli6130]

All the impact ejecta was sucked up that vacuum tunnel, and spread out to cover the entire Earth. Falling molten debris started world-wide forest fires, with the soot adding to the dust and pulverized rock particles suspended in the atmosphere.

What you have to realize from impact videos is that they are slow for dramatic effect. If a real one hits, it will take less than a second to hit the earth once it reaches the atmosphere. Also, if you’re close to see it then the heat will disintegrate you instantly even before it hits the ground.

[@pbassassinz8097]

I wonder if crashing like 10 100kt nuclear warheads into an asterioid would work in at least deflecting it.

[@Booger-u6m]

That depends on its mass, what it's made of, how solid it is, and how long we have until impact. In theory, that would work for a smallish to mid-size asteroid, up to a mile or two wide and relatively solid. It wouldn't work on very large asteroids or on a rubble pile, such as Bennu.

[@mikeyd946]

It wasn’t on fire in space though. There is no oxygen. Volatile gasses can burn but not in space

[@DKofDAH]

It wouldn’t be on fire in space, but not due to the lack of oxygen, but the lack of anything. That’s why the ISS doesn’t burst into flames. And it doesn’t „burn“ in the atmosphere, it just heats up so much that everything becomes plasma, which isn’t a flame.

[@Booger-u6m]

Upon impact, everything in a 500 mile radius is incinerated in seconds. The blast wave starts circumnavigating the planet. Everything up to 1000 miles out is knocked flat or deafened. Massive tsunamis are generated as the sea is pushed out of the way for 150 miles in all directions. Depending on local topography, everything within up to 50 miles of any beach is smashed, drowned and washed out to sea in a matter of hours following the impact. This happens across the Atlantic basin and, to a lesser extent, in the Pacific. The planet rings like a giant bell, causing MASSIVE earthquakes, up to magnitude 11 in some places. By contrast, the strongest earthquake on record today is 9.4, about 100 times smaller. The ground would ripple in waves a couple feet high, making it impossible to stand up. Impact debris starts to rain back down in minutes, with the largest pieces coming down first from fairly low down in the atmosphere, but a lot was thrown into suborbit and starts reentering the atmosphere an hour or so later. Billions of tiny pebbles heat up on reentry, which causes the air column, down to ground level, to heat up to some 500°F or so, causing vegetation to dry out and auto-ignite. Anything caught outside died hours before from thermal shock and burns. Dust from the impact and soot from global forest fires blocks the sun, causing temps to plummet by 50°F once the fires die down. Earth stays colder than normal for about 10 years, until the air clears. Sulfur and carbon liberated from the asteroid and bedrocks combined with water in the air to make sulfuric and carbonic acids. Rain had the pH of battery acid for a few years. Not good.

[@valuebasedbusinessbyanders3709]

An unnecessarily negative future scenario - first, these big asteroids only happen every 100 million years or so, secondly any 'planet killer' is likely to be spotted years, or even centuries in advance, orbits of rocks and planets are fairly easy to calculate based on a small number of observations, third, to deflect asteroids detected in advance requires almost NO new technology (the DART mission was a proof-of-concept some years ago), forth, extra-solar object (Omuamua is the only known one) have a 1-in-500-billion chance of hitting Earth (i.e. the Earth's cross section is that much smaller than the solar system. Lastly (before I write a book) you are 150 times more likely to die from a falling coconut than from an asteroid hit.

One of my favorite Far Side cartoons was the one where the punch line read; "What really killed the dinosaurs" with an accompanying picture of dinosaurs lighting up cigarettes. That said, I know NASA has stated that most of the big rocks in the asteroid belt have been cataloged and none are on a trajectory to impact Earth. They redid the math for Apophis and said we are mostly safe from that in the short run. Fair enough, but what about long-term comets from the Oort Cloud? A beast like Hale-Bopp could be heading our way and we wouldn't know it until the tail lit up. Hale-Bopp was 18 miles across. You're not running from that. And there is no technology available for dealing with a rock the size of the dino killer. At that speed all you can do is wait and get ready for a really bad day. I was a kid during the duck-and-cover days of the Cold War and that experience taught me that sometimes sh*t happens and all the kings horses won't amount to a hill of beans. I got chastised for telling my fifth grade teacher I would find a catcher's mitt and make like Johnny Bench at ground zero if the Russians lobbed a nuke at us. My mindset hasn't changed. Even if you are one of the 0.05% to survive a blast like that, what kind of world are you going to be left with? Th other 0.0499999999% of the people left are gonna be a desperate bunch. Nah, you can keep that. So let me know where this thing is gonna hit. I'll be waiting.
