but key to understanding
what follows.
The asteroid's trajectory is shallow.
to the surface.
This means the full brunt
of its destructive power
will be thrown to the north of
the impact point.
Even before the fireball
touches down,
its sheer brightness in the sky
is unimaginable.
the light is so intense
that makes the Alamosaurus' flesh
seem transparent.
And burns flash frames
of their shadows onto the ground.
The scorching light sears
their eyeballs,
They have no way of
seeing what's headed their way,
but they can feel it.
An explosive force
more powerful than all the nuclear
weapons ever built.
If the asteroid had
crashed into deep ocean,
some of the force
would have been absorbed.
Instead, it hits the shallow waters
of the gulf of Mexico.
which instantly vaporized.
In fraction of a second,
the entire asteroid
disintegrates into the planet.
Earth and rock also vaporized
in our hurled skyworld
at 100,000 miles an hour
Behind them,
earth's crust
explode from the ground.
the air temperature
now reaches 600 degrees
Hot enough to boil away
the water in the dinosaurs' skin.
which escapes with
sudden bursts of steam.
The fiery blast suck every
drop of moisture from the vegetation.
Anything directly exposed
to the blistering heat...
is simply boiled alive.
Just 108 seconds after impact
in the Gulf of Mexico
The bright streams of vaporized rock
can be seen in the
Pacific Northwest.
From their clifftop ruse
a breeding pair of Quetzalcoatlus
can see the glow of the fireball
high above the horizon
... 3,000 miles away.
That's how big it is.
Just 2 minutes has passed
since the asteroid
slammed into the Earth.
The body count back near
the crash site is amass.
Surprisingly, there are survivors.
Those lucky enough
to be shielded by a mountain
are spare the worse of the light
in heat blast.
But three more waves
of destruction are coming.
On impact,
boulders the size of buildings
blasted into the air
at supersonic speeds.
But what goes up...
... Must come down.
Hundreds of surviving Alamosaurus
are bombarded from above.
A second wave
hits from below.
An earthquake measuring
Nearly 60 times more powerful
than any earthquake
humans have experienced.
The third wave is the
blast postwave.
Radiating outward
in a perfect circle.
Packing a force that rips
through air
faster than
the speed of sound.
Stripping skin from flesh.
Lifting 30 ton dinosaurs
into the air like so many ragdolls.
Just 5 minutes have
passed since impact.
And three waves of destruction
have decimated an entire species.
Many other species
of dinosaurs in the region
shared the Alamosaurus' fate.
Most of the eggs too,
have been destroyed.
And the Earth
is a powerful protector.
Some eggs, buried in a cold ground
have survived.
New Alamosaurus life is growing.
There is still hope...
...for now.
An immense boulder
the size of mount everest
crashes into the gulf of Mexico,
driving entire species
of dinosaurs to extinction
in less than five minutes.
But the worst is still to come.
On the other side of the planet,
there is still no sign of trouble.
Mongolia is 8,000 miles
from the impact.
This scrubland here supports
hundreds of dinosaur species.
For a family of Kronosaurus,
it's business as usual
at a favorite watering hole.
They can weigh 4 tons
and grow to 40 feet in length.
But they're vegetarians
and docile,
except when they have to defend
themselves or their offspring.
which are now
at their most vulnerable
to the hungry predators
that lurk around every corner.
Armed with a Razor-Sharp,
oversized claw on its hind feet,
this is the jackal
of the Cretaceous Period.
Suurornithoides,
a very smart reptile.
Its brain-to-body-weight ratio
is among the highest
of any dinosaur.
It's hungry, but it knows better than
to take on a full grown Kronosaurus...
not when there are
easier targets,
In its rush to eat
The thief doesn't get as far
away from the enraged mother
as it should.
And it can smell its mistake.
It's a Mexican standoff
between two very
different kinds of dinosaur.
One has the speed and
smart of a carnivore
but the other is
But the large herbivores of this world
aren't made for fighting
And that's exactly what the
Saurornithoides is counting on,
especially when he's got backup.
Speed and strategy give
great intelligence is any guarantee
of safety from the kind of enemy
that is now approaching.
On the other side of the planet,
A fireball rises 100 miles
above ground zero.
pulverized stone and earth
fill the upper atmosphere
with a cloud of
microscopic dust and glass,
and it's spreading fast.
This is the Ejecta Cloud.
As the dust spreads
at high altitude,
trillions of tiny particles
re-enter the Atmosphere.
The friction creates
intense heat...
A 15,000-degree dust cloud
heating up everything beneath it.
From their Cliff-Top Perch
in the Pacific Northwest,
the male and female Quetzalcoatlus
have a clear view of the approaching cloud.
Down in the valley, a thick
ocean fog blocks out the sky.
The heavy blanket of moisture makes it
impossible to see the coming apocalypse.
But the animals down here
do get a warning.
Not from above,
but from below.
When the asteroid struck,
most of the energy
is deflected out or up.
Only 1% of the force
travels down into the ground.
But it's enough to ring
the planet like a bell.
across and through the Earth.
after impact,
they reach the Pacific Northwest.
In the valley, the ground shakes as the 11.1
earthquake ripples through the ground.
Triceratops panic of
the sight of the valley
in a desperate attempt
to escape the tremors
and falling debris.
Smaller animals take
shelter on the ground.
Meanwhile,
The ejecta cloud is approaching
at 10,000 miles/hour
It bakes the Earth
with unrelented heat.
Million of volts
of static electricity
charge the cloud
like a giant battery,
creating a vast electrical storm.
Superheated rocks
shower the valley.
A burning hell.
The Quetzalcoatlus are fleeing
the quake's devastation below
But there's no way to hide
from a rain of fire.
Only the valley floor
can provide shelter,
but there too big
to descend quickly.
Until the males'
tattered wings
can no longer keep him aloft.
If his mate doesn't find shelter,
she'll be next.
On the mountain slopes,
a pair of Triceratops
emerges above the cool sea nest.
They're almost out of the
quake ravaged valley
when the ejecta cloud arrives...
Like a blowtorch.
A dinosaur paradise
just hours ago...
North America is
now a living hell.
But the Ejecta
isn't finished yet,
not by a long shot.
Less than an hour
since the asteroid impact,
hundreds of species of dinosaurs
lie devastated
across the western hemisphere.
The ejecta cloud continues
