    Asteroid strike caused global firestorm that incinerated the dinosaurs

    A 10-15 km-wide asteroid struck the Gulf of Mexico 66 million years ago, causing a global firestorm that incinerated dinosaurs. The impact vaporized rock, released a heat pulse lethal to surface life, and generated dust and spherules that triggered prolonged fires and thermal radiation.
