The diameter of the meteor was about 17m. Huge! Over 1200 people were injured mainly by shock wave. Shock wave!?!? Scary!
Hurricane, typhoon, earthquake, tsunami... there are many natural disasters, and I realized there is one more natural disaster, meteor fall, which comes from way too far away.
In this accident, I found meteor fall is very very dangerous. Having said that though, I'm still skeptical about the theory of dinosaur extinction by a meteor.
I've been wondering if it's possible that an only 10km diameter meteor can wipe out most of species on the earth 12700km across.
