The Last Day of the Dinosaurs (Minute by Minute)

66 million years ago, the dinosaurs woke up to an ordinary morning. Within 24 hours, almost every one of them would be dead — and the fact that you exist comes down to what happened next. This is the last day of the dinosaurs, reconstructed almost minute by minute — from the moment a 10-kilometer asteroid appeared as a new light in the sky, to the impact, the global firestorm, and the long darkness that followed. We'll also uncover the eerily specific clue that tells us what season it was, and the small, unremarkable survivors that everything alive today descends from. It was the worst day in Earth's history. It's also the reason we're here. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 – An ordinary morning 1:15 – The thing in the sky 2:40 – Impact 4:10 – The first hour 5:50 – The sky catches fire 7:30 – The long night 9:00 – The survivors 10:00 – Why we're here 🔓 Subscribe to open the unknown — new deep-dives into deep time, the ocean, and the edges of science. #dinosaurs #extinction #asteroid #chicxulub #prehistoric Tags: dinosaurs, dinosaur extinction, the day the dinosaurs died, asteroid impact, chicxulub, what killed the dinosaurs, last day of the dinosaurs, mass extinction, k-pg extinction, prehistoric earth, asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, dinosaur documentary, science documentary, tanis fossil site, how did the dinosaurs die, cretaceous extinction
