EARTH IMPACT
Dear HIW,
We’ve just learnt about the mass extinction of the dinosaurs about 66 million years ago. I was wondering what it would feel like if the exact same meteor was to strike in the exact location today.

Thanks for your interesting question, William. What we know about the impactor that wiped out the dinosaurs is that it was roughly six miles in width. The result of the collision was a giant explosion, creating a crater about 111 miles wide. If the same event were to happen again, we could expect similar conditions to arise.
