When that asteroid/meteor hit almost everything within a few thousand miles radius of the impact would have either been blasted to shit or had the shit blasted out of them.
Kind of like quite few years ago when I had been helping a good friend to muster his 3,000+ sheep over 2 days and we all decided to have a big campfire in the clay pan about 50 yards from the homestead.
We were sitting and discussing how and when we'd finally demolish the very old wood and corrugated iron long-drop toilet that was no longer used or needed WHEN, suddenly out of the night sky came a flash of something burning and heading earthwards in bloody huge rush, then a massive crashing noise, a cloud of dust and long dried out excrement, etc, pieces of burning wood and shredded corrugated iron flying in all directions from about 500 yards away.
After we'd all hit the dirt asap, then gotten up and dusted ourselves off, we went over to find a nice crater about 10 feet in diameter, complete with a nasty smelling smoke cloud hanging and at least 25 feet deep where the toilet had once been.
A week later, after things had settled down, a team from a University came along an excavated out the hole and raised a meteorite from it that weighed in at a tidy 4.5 kilograms and was about the size of a soccer ball, tests showed that is mostly iron in composition mixed with rock.
The grazier friend of mine got a nice cheque for $1,700 and very neat hole for his troubles, the rest of us, all 3, got a carton of beer and some very interesting memories.
