Episode 402
⚡ Collapse Chronicles – Episode: Asteroid Impact 📄 Episode Description
An asteroid is on a collision course with Earth—impact is inevitable. This isn’t just Hollywood fantasy. From Chelyabinsk to Chicxulub, we know it’s happened before, and it will happen again.
In this episode, we break down asteroid impact science, real-world near misses, and what a full-blown strike could do to modern civilization. Spoiler: it’s not just dinosaurs who should’ve prepped.
🧱 Episode Breakdown ☄️ What Is It?NEOs = Near-Earth Objects (asteroids/comets that pass close to Earth).
Types of Impacts:
Minor (burn up or airburst)
Medium (city-leveling)
Planet-killers (climate disruption & extinction)
Detection systems (NASA, ESA) catch big objects early—but small ones often slip through.
Ocean Impact = Tsunamis that can erase entire coastlines.
Land Impact = Firestorms, shockwaves, and eventual “impact winter” from atmospheric dust.
Infrastructure failure: Power, water, communication, and transport all go down.
Environmental chaos: Acid rain, global cooling, ozone damage, food chain collapse.
Mass death & migration: Starvation, disease, and global panic.
Economic and social collapse: Markets crash, cities abandoned, governments overwhelmed.
Extinction event potential if large enough.
Past impacts:
Chicxulub (66MYA) = dinosaur killer
Tunguska (1908) = 800 sq. miles flattened
Chelyabinsk (2013) = undetected, 1,500 injured
Current threats:
Apophis will pass closer than satellites in 2029
NASA’s DART mission = our first asteroid deflection test
