One caused what is called The Great Dying, where 95% of life was destroyed.
Otherwise called the Permian Extinction, 250 million years ago (before
cable, before even black and white.)



This is the one I was referring to:

The impactor's estimated size was about 10 km (6 mi) in diameter and may
have released an estimated 500 HYPERLINK

impact. By contrast, the most powerful man-made explosive device ever
detonated, the HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba"Tsar Bomba

There’s a theory that the thing that originally set the crust to floating
all over the place and forming supercontinents from time to time (geologists
think it’s happened several times, Gondwana was just the last one
) was a
massive Asteroid impact. Cracked the shell and it’s been wafting around ever
since.



There’s impact craters up to 170km wide from asteroid collisions. The one in
South America is now believed to be the one that caused the extinction of
the dinosaurs. When I was a kid that was just a theory, taken as fact now I
believe.

As the masters rot on walls
And the angels eat their grapes
I watched picasso
visit the planet of the apes
