So much for a serious thread. I was thinking about an asteroid as large as the one that wiped the dinosaurs out or one really big that would cause massive destruction/climate change. Where would be the best for one of those to hit. If you said somewhere in the UK and you lived in the UK you would be wiped off the map, thats how big I'm talking.

On a serious note,
The impact location of such a dino killer asteroid wouldn´t matter at all imo.
The impact itself would pretty much destroy everything on one side of earth and shockwaves (later Tsunami´s etc) would destroy the other side.
Earthquakes would rumble through the planet for a good while (upto a few years after) triggering Volcano´s etc the sky would pretty much be a dark clouded up dusty, toxic smog and were not even going to talk about all the radiation that would be set free by such an object.

Even if it wouldn´t kill us all, it would pretty much through 99% of humanity back into the stone age

A that sized Asteroid and we´d all be ****ed.
