The Last 60 Minutes Before Asteroid Impacts with Earth

1 hour after impact : his phones rings... "You're still coming into work though, right?"

2:50 Carol doesn't reply. She returns to the surface, locates the ventilation pipe for the shelter, places a hose into it, and turns on the faucet.

I am never again lending out my portable grill to my neighbor

In the 60s, my dad worked in the nuclear weapons industry, so my brother asked him what we should do in case of a nuclear war? And honest to God, from behind his newspaper, he said, "Hope you die first." I guess that applies to any worldwide catastrophe (Somebody's dad had to work in the weapons of mass destruction industry)

I love this type of format. Need episode 2 from this and the nuclear war survivors.

That's just deep. You can genuinely visualise what's happening just from listening just from the level of detail included. Well done! Definitely one of my favourite videos so far

Always pray your at ground zero for any event that leads to these outcomes. No matter what the movies or games want to betray there's nothing cool or thrilling trying to survive in a dying world. Just lots of pain and suffering.

So the morale of the story is, there's no point building a shelter. You're gonna die in the end anyway

I’m gonna use my last minutes to appreciate the content this man provided me. Thank you info man. We had a good run bruh

" Trust takes years to build, seconds to breaks and forever to repair" That's an amazing quote right there 🥰.

If you build a bunker, you absolutely need replacement supplies for the filtration systems and spare parts… water is definitely important but even supposing you had 100 gallons you’d still eventually run out… so dehydration and lack of food would eventually claim everyone.

I've been a soldier for 12 years and I've seen some horrible things justified but having to harm a completely innocent person in any way it's something you never really get over this story was very well done because I was completely invested and I wish it would have been a complete story for the family

Very well done- answers the question: ‘Why would I want to survive this?’

I remember when I was a kid I used to imagine being the last person alive, all the things I would do; drive the fastest car in the world, take all the money from all the banks, live in a different mansion every night. When you're a kid you don't realize all of that would be pointless since there is no one to impress. I also never considered why I was the last person alive and where the 7 billion corpses are. Earth would kind of smell foul. 50+ years later I am quite the opposite. If an asteroid or nuke is coming this way I hope it lands on my head.

The worst part is knowing that there is basically nothing we could do to prevent/avoid this scenario.

The goodbye on the radio hit me like a ton of bricks. “If we survive, let’s forget what made our world evil & remember what made us great.”

This deserves a part II. It was done so well as we can only imagine if they survived another week or month.

Dude I am LOVING the quality of storytelling here. Want to see more, "could be" scenarios like this.

Honestly, as horrible as it sounds, 'the easy way out' would've been the most humane choice. Considering what's left, those that died at impact were the lucky ones. Sparing your family only to watch them slowly succumb to starvation and/or sickness just seems cruel.

A fun fact: the problem with asteroid impacts is not only how big they are, but also where they hit. The Chicxulub asteroid - known for having wiped out the Dinosaurs - fell onto an area that's rich in sulphur compounds, and that's what plunged the Earth into a decades-long dark age.
