Could you endure the asteroid that ended the Age of Dinosaurs?

Sixty-six million years ago, a massive asteroid impact fundamentally altered Earth's trajectory. This video explores the catastrophic chain of events, from global wildfires to a freezing impact winter, that defined the K-Pg extinction.

The K-Pg extinction event was triggered by an asteroid strike that set off a series of planetary disasters. The immediate aftermath included widespread wildfires and the onset of an impact winter, a period of darkness and cold that brought the Age of Dinosaurs to a close.

By examining these environmental shifts, we can understand the extreme conditions that Earth's inhabitants faced during one of the planet's darkest eras.
