Asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago crashed into Earth at 'the deadliest possible angle' of 60 degrees which maximized production of greenhouse gases

False comparison. Dinosaurs were not capable of the “sin thingy”.

And after the “flood thingy”, God made a specific promise-thingy not to do it again.

the deadliest possible angle

the angle of the dangle = the square of the root

75% of all living things died but ALL of the dinosaurs died? Clouds of sulphide, which is about .03% of Earth’s crust, along with carbon dioxide caused a nuclear winter? Really? A trace element can do that? And the carbon dioxide? Where did it come from? Isn’t it interesting? Wizards can’t tell where the covid19 came from a couple of months ago but want me to believe that they can tell what happened 66 million years ago?

All large species perished. Small birds and mammals managed to survive. Birds are technically dinosaurs, so the dinos really did not quite die out.

All dinosaurs did not die. They are even still all around us, you see them every day, in fact.

It’s being renamed Trumperoid, Destroyer of Worlds.

Interestingly an impact of this nsize would cook then cool the planet. Obviously the impact would generate tremendous shock heating and flash fires over a few thousand mile radius. Every forest within line of sight of the couple of hundred mile high fireball would instantly burst to combustion think nuclear fireball times a few million powers. Then materials would be vaporized and propelled into ballistic trajectories at all velocities from suborbital to earth escape. Those with suborbital would complete their ballistic arcs and start to reenter the atmosphere thousands of miles away in every direction like billions of ballsitic icbms reentering at mach 20+ every one would glow intensely with infrared energy this glow would be so bright that everything combustible under the path instantly combusts again every forest goes up in flames now over a 3 to 6 thousand mile radius. There’s still plents of material at orbital velocity spreading outwards that will over the next few hours slow down just enough to reenter on the opposite side of the planet and pretty much everywhere in between again the radiant heat of reentery reaches hundreds of degrees at ground level while not starting fires it literally cooks the foliage killing the plants and also any animals not seeking shelter underground, water or dense forest canopies. All the global fires add particulates to the upper atmosphere along with all the dust from reentry the net affect is the reduction of sunlight able to penetrate leading to massive global cooling and the total shut down of photosynthesis this is the global killer. Over the next few years the remaining orbital materials come down adding more particulates to a dark cold world. It will be decades if not hundreds of years before the levels of sunlight return to preimpact intensity at ground level. So in the end it was fire, more fire then decades of cold that caused 80+% of all species to die off at the KT boundary. The global reentry of materials is readily confirmed by the layer of iridium at the KT boundary in the global rock record. Anywhere on earth at the KT boundary that Ir layer is found. Ir is exceedingly rare on Earth in crustal materials its one of the rare earth elements named that for a reason. The only way to get a global deposit at high enrichment is by deposition from a space impactor which a good number are enriched in Ir. Volcanic activity doesn’t have the ability to put up a global layer.

The angle of the dangle is directly related to the heat of the meat and the mass of the ass. ;)

I ate some slow smoked dinosaur for lunch just now we commonly call it chicken. Anyone who is in NYS should go to the natural history museum next to central park they have the best dinosaurs to birds lineage display I have seen. Better than the Smithsonian in D.C. I went to both in November 19 so they should still be exhibited.

What lead up to the Younger Dryas and what happened during this great extinction is without a doubt the most under reported event.

I'm amazed humans has lived as long as we have on this planet. Humans as we are today has been on this planet for 200,000 years. There has been two major near extinction events of humans. The first one was 70,000 years ago around the time of the Toba catastrophe with as little as 1,000 breeding pairs. The second was 10,800 years ago Younger Dryas to an event that establishment scientists seem to be intentionally giving us a false story. Based on "humans are bad" theory.

There was up to 3 million Clovis people which accounts of their "ancient enemy" of the east were "like palefaces of today" from Rene Chataubriand "voyages to America" 1826
The Indians could not account for the monuments that existed. They said they didn't build them.

During the Pleistocene epoch there was very likely major construction in north America. Such as Poverty Point Lower Mississippi Valley. Which last work being done there 3000 years ago which is scientists given date. It has 9X more material moved to create what is remaining then the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Which only half of it seems to be remaining.

Yes, they are always searching for the “deadliest possible angle” with which to destroy the USA.

The giant impacter struck what is today Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula at around 60 degrees — maximizing the production of climate-altering greenhouse gases.

Meanwhile, the dust cloud generated by the impact would have blocked out the sun — likely triggering a “nuclear winter” and seeing temperatures plunge, acid rain falling from the skies and 75 percent of living species wiped out.

Global warming or global cooling?

Imperial College London

The same FIDIOTS who shut the world down with the WRONG Corona model. The clown responsible was caught shagging some married broad while in lock down in England.

The global disaster caused by the space rock was far worse than once thought, Imperial College London experts said.

However, further analysis suggests that the asteroid's direct impact increased natural dinosaur mortality rates by only .037%; the remaining 99.663% of dinosaurs died off after hiding in caves to escape the asteroid for the remainder of the Jurassic period.

I always scratch my head over this. Wouldn’t more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere be more beneficial for plant life? And if carbon dioxide is beneficial for plants which causes them to thrive, wouldn’t this then result in more oxygen being released since that is an output of plants?

Have they discovered video?

No, then how can they be sure?

60 degree angle, not 59 or 61?

66 million years ago? Pretty vague. What month? What day? What time?

Isn’t the video time stamped? /s
