What Happened in the First 24 Hours After the Asteroid?

You wake up 66 million years ago on what seems like an ordinary day in the Late Cretaceous. Then the ground begins to shake. The river starts moving the wrong way. Tiny pieces of glass begin falling from the sky. And somewhere thousands of kilometres away, the Chicxulub asteroid has just struck Earth. In this prehistoric POV story, you experience the first hours and aftermath of the asteroid impact from the perspective of a young dinosaur living in Late Cretaceous North America. You’ll experience the earthquake, catastrophic water surge, falling impact spherules, fires, atmospheric collapse and the devastating breakdown of the food chain that followed. Because surviving the asteroid was only the beginning. The real challenge was surviving the extinction. This video combines immersive prehistoric storytelling with palaeontology and current scientific reconstructions of the Chicxulub impact and the K–Pg mass extinction.
