    A ruthless murder was committed! Someone killed the dinosaurs and we have the murderer! Witnesses say that an Everest-sized asteroid hit Earth, devastated the planet and caused a mass extinction. A simple, fascinating and convincing explanation. Or… is it?

    1. So, the tv series "dinosaurs" were science-accurate, they actually died under the snow, omg 😱😢. It was a more painful death than the asteroid 😢😢

    2. It's so sad… I really love dinosaurs, so it was devastating for me to hear.
      No wonder so many people liked version with asteroid and instant death of dinosaurs more… It's not only more spectacular, but more merciful as the end of this magnificent creatures too. 😢

    3. Are you telling me climate change killed dinosaurs? The same climate change we're experiencing now??? Except now instead of vulcanos we have factories???

    4. So Mother Earth conspired with the universe in a murder plot, that went down as accident for millions of years, all for the inheritance that then went to the mammals. A clever plan and it would have worked, if these damned kids had not snooped around.

    5. At [9:53], when they suggested that the dinosaurs might not have been taken out by a random asteroid but by a serial killer lurking beneath our feet, I couldn't help but laugh! 😂 Like, imagine Earth just casually having a magma monster that wakes up every few million years to wreak havoc. "Sorry guys, just doing my extinction thing!" The idea that the biggest killer on Earth might be, well, Earth itself, totally blew my mind. Seriously, who knew geology could be this dark and twisted?

    6. It was the indian that killed our Dinos..
      We all know it 8:12 but nobody dares to point the finger,
      Its you India and all your acid pollution that got the globe to burp.. you ended our Dinos, you did it, yes you did.. and then you tried to blame some innocent visiting stone, just looking for a new home.
      I don't know how we move on from here, and if India should pay some restitution?? but something needs to happen..
      come on fellas – India ended our dinos.

    7. There's no doubt that we humans will know with enough anticipation when a massive extinction is coming but… are we really going to prepare to it if the solution doesn't imply war with the cause?
