they're huge.
They're the last of the Sauropods,
the biggest animals
ever to walk the Earth.
and a staggering 40 feet tall,
Alamosaurus weigh
up to 30 ton.
To maintain that bulk,
they need to eat up to a ton
A vast herd like this one
strips a landscape of vegetation
in just a few hours.
Because she's a nomad
on a constant search for food,
when it's time for this female to lay
her eggs, she doesn't nest.
She simply lays eggs
in groups of 5 or 6,
to improve the chances
that some will survive.
Under normal conditions,
only one in 3,000 will produce
a mature Alamosaurus.
But the odd stacked
against these eggs,
are about to get astronomical.
Because now,
just 20 minutes away
The asteroid fragment's enormous mass
is only part of the threat.
The other part is velocity.
But as it get closer to the planet,
The Earth's gravitational pull
gets stronger
and the asteroid accelerates,
past 40,000-45,000 miles per hour
And mass times acceleration
equals force.
As the asteroid
encounters atmosphere,
friction turn it into a fireball
swooping over the Atlantic
and aimed at Mexico.
And... the Alamosaurus.
It takes just four minutes
to cross the ocean.
It crushes and superheats
the air surrounding it,
transforming gas and debris
into white-hot plasma.
At 35,000 degrees,
it's burning brighter
than a million suns.
It takes just 5 seconds
to flash through the atmosphere.
Impact seems instantaneous.
But hidden within the cataclysm,
are a series of discreet events
invisible to the naked eye
but key to understanding
what follows.
The asteroid's trajectory is shallow.
to the surface.
This means the full brunt
of its destructive power
will be thrown to the north of
the impact point.
Even before the fireball
touches down,
its sheer brightness in the sky
is unimaginable.
the light is so intense
that makes the Alamosaurus' flesh
seem transparent.
of their shadows onto the ground.
their eyeballs,
They have no way of
seeing what's headed their way,
but they can feel it.
An explosive force
more powerful than all the nuclear
weapons ever built.
If the asteroid had
crashed into deep ocean,
some of the force
would have been absorbed.
Instead, it hits the shallow waters
of the gulf of Mexico.
which instantly vaporized.
In fraction of a second,
the entire asteroid
disintegrates into the planet.
Earth and rock also vaporized
in our hurled skyworld
at 100,000 miles an hour
Behind them,
earth's crust
explode from the ground.
