The Day the Dinosaurs Died: What Happened After the Asteroid Hit?

66 million years ago, an asteroid changed the course of life on Earth. Approximately 10 kilometers wide, the Chicxulub asteroid struck the Yucatán region with unimaginable energy — triggering a chain of environmental changes that transformed the planet. But the impact itself was only the beginning. In this cinematic reconstruction, we follow the catastrophe from the final moments of the Late Cretaceous through the impact, atmospheric changes, declining sunlight, cooling temperatures, disrupted food webs, changes in the oceans, and the long road toward recovery. The dinosaurs did not simply disappear in a single moment. The world around them changed. And as ecosystems collapsed, some life forms survived — eventually giving rise to a radically different world. From the asteroid impact to the recovery of life, this is the story of the event that ended the age of the dinosaurs. 🌍 The Survival Archive Earth’s Greatest Catastrophes, Reconstructed.
