The devastating meteor crash in Russia made us wonder, how many other big strikes has the planet taken? Trace found out and counts down the top four biggest asteroid strikes to ever hit Earth!

this is hella better than sourcefed, they care more about crud humor than facts
200 million years hahahahahahahahahaha.
Fuck humans, nothing can kill waterbears. WATERBEARS HOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Earth fart lol
the one thing that survives an asteroid is a cockroach
i still believe that the tungaska event is the work of tesla
The starlings are so cool!
My favorite impact is the on with Theia. It created the moon.
Fucking dumbasses who ever made the join theory or dinosaur killing from meteor or even the earth being that old is a dumbass
yeah its cool just lucky it was not a few degrees down or we would be screwed
1:12 – don't blink!
teh puns! teh puns! please, not teh puns!
You only mentioned 3… one of which was relatively small. Why is this called "4 Biggest Asteroid Strikes Ever"??
STOP SAYING ASTEORIOD!!! IT WAS AN METEOR!!!!!!!
You forgot to mention the 3rd possibility of the Tunguskah ( sorry if I don't spell this right ) scenerio: That it was a test of Nikoli Tesla's death ray.
The meteorite did not strike earth. It exploded before it hit earth.
Cough gulf of mexico
can he just stand there still don't shaking please
Why the name of 'Dutch oven'
If anything that kind of 'attack' is more German in nature than Dutch.
And remember that even though the dinosaurs became extinct insects survived. Ants for example are 120 million (or so) years old.
He keeps calling the Russian meteors "Impacts" neither meteors were impacts as they exploded in the Atmosphere.
And I do not believe the meteor 65,000,000 years ago caused an ice age, Nuclear winter yes Ice Age no.
The differences between Asteroids,Meteors and Meteorites. They are all basically the same thing with these differences.
 An Asteroid is still out in space once it hits the Earths Atmosphere it is called a Meteor. The meteor breaks up into smaller pieces, some of them survive and land on the ground,they are now called Meteorites. Â
A comet is different from an Asteroid. An Asteroid is made up of Rock iron,nickel and other metals, a comet is made up of Ice and lose rock ( a dirty snowball).
A comet travels MUCH faster than an Asteroid 40,000mph or faster and can do much more damage to earth due to its speed.Â

People don't in joy Nature while we still have nature!!!We won't have ANYTHING ANYMORE
Give him some weed.
The "Top 4 Biggest" is actually missing the 2 biggest ones, the Sudbury and Vredefort. Both are massively larger than the Chixulub.
Tunguska was because of Nikolai Tesla and his laser death beam of mass destruction!!! : )
that was only two…
the russion Siberian explosion there are many theory but, most likely was a commit or asteroid. Â Some people said it was a ufo.
sup…. without impact events we would not be here as a species, arguably so yay impact events. also they provided water and organic materials to our planet, and potentially, as well as micro organisms.. so sweet stuff, bad thing is we can be ended by such events if they are big enough so we should invest in being able to deflect or minimize the damage to our planetÂ
i hate iiiuminati
actually, about 4 billion years ago, the largest asteroid collided with earth. this thing was the size of mars and it also created the moon. a 6 mile rock is nothing compared to the 3000 mile wide planetoid object that earth endured and survived through.
2:11 It was Nikola Tesla ;)Â
All you impacts together are still smaller than the biggest impact on earth 3000mi wide, right over Thailand and China
I like Trace in this video more than i do now, Today he seems like an histerical guy who just scaped from a mental institution, the way he expresses today stresses me I mean calm down dude…
The Russian one is a comet not asteroid
Maybe the tungundka event was made by a cloud if antimatter that collided with earth. I see this as very plausible
Or the impact that sent a giant chunk of the Earth to space, now called the Moon.
has anybody ever speculated that it was Superman who stopped the meteor in Tunguska? He probably also stopped that meteor that recently blew up in Russia as well, just a few years ago… come to think of it, he seems to be saving Russia a lot… Oh wait, does that mean… he is actually Red Son?!? Damn you Russia, you stole the most iconic superhero for real!!!
you sound sad
but tis is a good vid
like
How did the dinosaurs actually go extinct? I've heard tons of theories from the asteroid to a sickness to even a sickness caused by the asteroid! Which to believe are these theories even plausible??
you are a complete rip of of scishow.
!
2:05 That's only a fifth of the power of the Tsar bomba! XD and the 2 nukes that were dropped in WW2 were only a mere thousandth of the power of the Tsar bomba! makes you think about how strong russia is! And THANK GOD russia is with syria because i live in damascus!!
I don't believe these so called millions of years old, the Earth can't be that old.
Nao! Se nem forca do tempo.
because ". In total, the mass of all the asteroids is less than that of Earth's moon."
it been 8 years
