Catastrophe 4of5 Asteroid Strike 

one could say, "that asteroid had a great 'impact' on our earths history' XP sorry i kinda had to

The Deccan Traps happened about 66 million years ago. The Siberian Traps took 2 million years to put out 4 million cubic kilometers of material, while the Deccan traps put out 1 million cubic kilometers, but did it in only 300,000 years. That means that the Deccan Traps put out 1.667 times as much material as the Siberian Traps on a yearly basis. This flood basalt may have severely weakened the life on Earth, and the Asteroid gave it the final blow, or the Deccan Traps may have done it all and the asteroid just happened to hit after most of the extinction event was done.

It's really good to see something that stamps on the STUPID idea put forward by creationism.

Including non-bird-dinosaurs, the birds did survive.. And they are very much Dinosaurs..

Is the narrator lovely Baldrick?

Why don't the cameraman give those poor dinosaurs a hamburger or something can't he see they are hungry

There was nothing for the dinos to eat because all the vegitation had burnt. But the birds eggs in the burnt trees survived. If everything had been burned then what was left for the underground mammals to eat. This shit is very contradictory.

And when you consider that some scientists reckon our solar system is in a part of space that's as busy as the spaghetti junction.

They create such a fine ducomentary and do not use the metric system. Unbelievable.🙄😔

The Luis and Walter Alvarez discovered the iridium layer first.

Your graphics especially of the impact are great.

8:15 I remember the accepted end of the dinosaurs era was due to a meteor strike and taught in schools as such when that scientist was still in diapers. He must have time traveled. 41:30 Humans would survive just fine. Humans are not wholly dependent on the weather being just right and humans can live in the absolute worst environments. We have technology and the ability to tailor our environments to fit our needs. We can and do already grow food regardless of the environment. We can keep ourselves warm in the harshest of winters and cool in the harshest of summers. And we can do that without modern technology unless Inuit people did not really exist or the opposite in the middle east deserts. We can do that with primitive technology.. modern and survive even more comfortably. Dinosaurs depended on the correct environment and could do nothing but die if they didn't get it. We humans can adapt our environments to suit us and adapt our behavior to suit the environment at the same time. Sure billions would die off but humans wouldn't become extinct like dinosaurs.

I want a Cenote.

This is so repetative

Is it a full on strike, work to rules, what ?

"It was the meek ... who inherited the world."

They should hqve also mentioned that the continents were closer together.

Humans ... the greatest catastrophe of all 😔

34:32 what the hell piece of roadkill did they toast to make this scene!?

"He Wasn't Ready!!😭"

He cites a theory as a fact; no-one can say as a fact dinosaurs were wiped out by asteroid

So why are there birds? Not everything died 🙄

The CO2 caused centuries of global warming? What about the runaway greenhouse....Venus type? What about it?

Another great series! Thank you for sharing these. Imagine the wealth of knowledge Sir Tony Robinson has. Ffrom all his years on Time Team and the Ancient trackways and paths to these.He is awesome. I love them all..
