When the topic is about something that exudes massive power, it is best to believe someone with the last name of Norris.

Dayum.
 
"It's believed that the impact actually blew down the forests over most of North America from the pressure wave associated with the explosion," Norris said.

Not to mention: 24 mile deep crater (over 125,000ft. If you jumped in it, you'd be in free fall for ~12 minutes) and 15 million years for life remaining on earth to begin recovery.

WAY beyond comprehension.

One of these babies sneaks up on us, and we're toast.

Great, now I'll be up all night, worrying about Ninja Asteroids.

Somewhere in the universe, there are mad scientists designing stealth carbon fiber asteroids, so they can sneak up on us, and kill our dinosaurs.

The bastards.

I don't think it'll be very sneaky when it slams into the planet :lol:

It's like the old saying: Where does a bear shit in the woods? Anywhere it damn well pleases.

Couldn't "sneak up" on us, you say?

Don't make me list all the scenarios where something like this could "surprise" us. Just because we have telescopes and math doesn't mean we couldn't be caught almost as unaware as the Dinosaurs.
