now reaches 600 degrees

Hot enough to boil away

the water in the dinosaurs' skin.

which escapes with

sudden bursts of steam.

The fiery blast suck every

drop of moisture from the vegetation.

Anything directly exposed

to the blistering heat...

is simply boiled alive.

Just 108 seconds after impact

in the Gulf of Mexico

The bright streams of vaporized rock

can be seen in the

Pacific Northwest.

From their clifftop ruse

a breeding pair of Quetzalcoatlus

can see the glow of the fireball

high above the horizon

... 3,000 miles away.

That's how big it is.

Just 2 minutes has passed

since the asteroid

slammed into the Earth.

The body count back near

the crash site is amass.

Surprisingly, there are survivors.

Those lucky enough

to be shielded by a mountain

are spare the worse of the light

in heat blast.

But three more waves

of destruction are coming.

On impact,

boulders the size of buildings

blasted into the air

at supersonic speeds.

But what goes up...

... Must come down.

Hundreds of surviving Alamosaurus

are bombarded from above.

A second wave

hits from below.

An earthquake measuring

Nearly 60 times more powerful

than any earthquake

humans have experienced.

The third wave is the

blast postwave.

Radiating outward

in a perfect circle.

Packing a force that rips

through air

faster than

the speed of sound.

Stripping skin from flesh.

Lifting 30 ton dinosaurs

into the air like so many ragdolls.

Just 5 minutes have

passed since impact.

And three waves of destruction

have decimated an entire species.

Many other species

of dinosaurs in the region

shared the Alamosaurus' fate.

Most of the eggs too,

have been destroyed.

And the Earth

is a powerful protector.

Some eggs, buried in a cold ground

have survived.

New Alamosaurus life is growing.

There is still hope...

...for now.

An immense boulder

the size of mount everest

crashes into the gulf of Mexico,

driving entire species

of dinosaurs to extinction

in less than five minutes.

But the worst is still to come.

On the other side of the planet,

there is still no sign of trouble.

Mongolia is 8,000 miles

from the impact.

This scrubland here supports

hundreds of dinosaur species.

For a family of Kronosaurus,

it's business as usual

at a favorite watering hole.

They can weigh 4 tons

and grow to 40 feet in length.

But they're vegetarians

and docile,

except when they have to defend

themselves or their offspring.

which are now

at their most vulnerable

to the hungry predators

that lurk around every corner.

Armed with a Razor-Sharp,

oversized claw on its hind feet,

this is the jackal

of the Cretaceous Period.

Suurornithoides,

Graham Booth

Graham Harry Booth (29 March 1940 – 14 December 2011) was a British politician, and was a Member of the European Parliament for South West England between 2002 and 2008. He was a member of the UK Independence Party (UKIP). Booth was born in Paignton, Devon and educated at Torquay Boys' Grammar School. Before he entered politics, he was a businessman in the building and tourism trades. In the 1999 European Parliament elections, Booth was the number two candidate on the UKIP list for South West England. Consequently, he became an MEP in 2002 as the replacement for Michael Holmes, former party leader, when Holmes resigned from the European Parliament. Booth was re-elected in 2004 with a greatly increased vote. In the 2005 General Election he contested the Torbay constituency in Devon, and gained 7.9% of the vote. UKIP MEPs frequently claim that the European Parliament is a powerless talking shop, with real lawmaking power resting with the European Commission. However, Graham Booth is credited with having helped save the Isles of Scilly helicopter shuttle service in his constituency by means of an astute parliamentary speech in 2003. The service, which is crucial to life on the islands, had been threatened with closure by a heavy-handed interpretation of a new EU directive aimed at larger airlines. Following Booth's speech, an alliance between UKIP and the UK Labour Party MEPs persuaded the EU Transport Commissioner to amend the directive, allowing the service (and similar 'social carriers' across Europe) to continue in business. Booth retired from his role as a UKIP MEP on 1 October 2008 and was replaced by the next candidate on the list, Trevor Colman. He continued to be a keen activist in and around the bay until his death in December 2011. more…
