Inspired by a paradocumentary 'Dangerous Earth' (or at least this is what the Polish title was; the film was originally American - about various catastrophes which happened and which might happen.
Today, the last episode aired, and they asked, what if an asteroid comparable to the one which killed dinosaurs off fell today (or let's make it, the first decade of 21st century). However, they didn't say much apart from:
1) humans would be prepared and enter underground shelters
2) there would be Earth-wide earthquakes [probable magnitude 13], later fires for the first months and then a year-long night
3) afterwards, rats and bugs would be most likely to survive
That was about all they said. And what do you think would happen?
Addendum by me: According to NASA, there are 4,700 potentially dangerous asteroids around Earth.

Admins: I couldn't figure out if it should go to ASB or Future or here. If it's the wrong place, please move the thread
