More Evidence Supports Massive Asteroid Strike

Posted by Hemos on from the ka-WHAM! dept.

InnerPeace Volunteers writes "From a BBC Sci/Tech article: The idea is that a giant asteroid about 10 kilometres wide, travelling at 90,000 km/hour slammed into the Earth at the southern margin of North America. This was a case of global devastation rather than North American catastrophe. The asteroid devastated pretty much everything."

    Maybe the salamanders were hiding in caves in Afghanistan when the asteroids hit. Those suckers are pretty safe.
