Space disaster, impact events and airbursts

  • Origen: Outer space
    • Meteor
    • Asteroids
    • Comet
  • Trigger: a collision between something from space and earth
  • Behavior: Fast onset and impossible to get away
  • Place: Everywhere
  • Other: It is difficult to predict risk, or estimate the onset
    • The bigger object, the bigger chance for termination of earth as we know it
    • Some object might be traced and prevented
    • We might get two years warning before impact
    • Will happen!
  • Precaution: Any place
    • Depends on diameter, density, velocity and angle
    • Minimum velocity 11-17 km/s
    • Impact angle probable 45 degrees
  • Closedown of Society: Quick and very long lasting to permanent
    • No sun/ light for 1 year or more
    • Most animals will die
    • Most plants will die
    • Last time 90% of all species died and it took 30.000.000 years to recover
