Asteroid Impact Consequences and Effects

The video explores a hypothetical scenario where an asteroid as massive as the one that killed the dinosaurs strikes Earth today. It describes the immediate catastrophic effects, including earthquakes, tsunamis, and shockwaves, leading to global devastation. The long-term environmental impacts, such as acid rain and blocked sunlight, threaten survival by disrupting the food chain. The video concludes with the grim outlook for humanity, highlighting the potential for extinction and the challenges of survival in a post-impact world.
