Interesting analysis - that this relatively small asteroid would have spared the dinosaurs had it hit seconds earlier - or later - but by striking - and vaporising - a massive sulphur-rich rock formation, it created a cloud that so effectively blocked out the sun that the earth suffered below freezing temperatures for as long as 10 years, thus dooming any survivors of the immediate post-impact inferno to death by starvation or freezing.

"Many scientists now believe that it was the impact an asteroid that (killed the dinosaurs), but nobody has been able to prove it"

We have the Iridium! We have the crater! What are you talking about!?!
