Lets say the same asteroid hit the same place in Australia today....
How many people would both directly from impact/shockwave and indirectly die (infrastructure collapse, tsunamis on beach towns, climate change, etc) from this, do we think?

- not2b 3y agoThis was bigger than the dinosaur-killer, which killed almost all land animals; only a tiny fraction survived. So almost everyone would die, all over the world. The shock wave would be extremely hot and kill pretty much anything that's outside, and the fires would be massive.
- mr_toad 3y agoThis is bigger than the KT impactor. Everyone would die. So would almost every other animal and plant on Earth. The lucky ones would die instantly, the unlucky ones in the following global firestorm. The really unlucky ones might live long enough to freeze to death.
