Barringer Meteor Crater in Arizona

[TheresNoTimeLikeNow]

Also known as Canyon Diablo Crater, Barringer Crater, Meteor Crater, 43 miles E of Flagstaff near Winslow Arizona. In a small place known as Pontiac. Cool Thanks.

[azrios]

Arizona should build a huge shelter there and cover it up! It should fit all of Phoenix and surrounding area's people.

215 metres deep, 1200 metres wide

A bomb

[iAmCometELENIN]

@StellarXplorer LIAR! I am just coming by the say Hi, I ain't gonna touch this world.

[Neathpilgrim]

OK so consider dropping a stone in a bowl of flour - where do you think the object from out side our planet is?

[maha77]

your mom from the air

[ieathappypills]

[nopermitsnoparlay]

Yeah fly over and save $15 a head, fuckin park service a-holes

[SERVExLV]

fake? lol, wtf. if you havent heard of this place where u been livin on mars?

[SERVExLV]

that hole aint so big, i could prob climb down in 10 minutes and back up in like 20, lol, up and down bout 30 minutes tops.

[uliscena54]

It was just Chuck Norris killing an ant , thats all , nothing to worry about

[RFT15ify]

That's where giants shits.

[tuntunkhanrocks]

the dinosaur meteor wouldve been bigger... much bigger :O

[murleman]

how long ago did this happen

[mrr2e227]

this crater is not small at all. it looks way bigger when your actually there! when i was there, the instructor told us that it is so deep that it takes an hour and a half to get down to the bottom, and a 2 hour hike back up. there is a 6ft figure all the way at the bottom

of the crater and when your standing in the rim, you can barely see it. you need a telescope to actually see it.

[Studas2006]

Why didn't he fly over it :(

[NewDirection4us]

I can attest to this being real. I visited this crater on a cross country trip one time. I decided to stop and see it. It is open to the public.

at least it was back then. That was at least twenty five years ago. I can't remember if I had to pay anything for admission to see it, probably did.

[BudPeters44]

it looks alot like an old sinkhole to me..i wonder why they keep calling every crater a meteor crater..Sinkholes are most common all over this planet and happen all the time..they look axactly like this..

[cmanheman09]

@BudPeters44 probably because they dug up a meteorite from the center lol dont find those in sinkholes

[greeterman74]

Ripoff tourist trap. Avoid!

[xxxxxxxxx123456789]

pplwho think this is fake its not there was the worlds largest meteor crash in arizona study!!!

[megalordification]

siratb- What kind of aircraft are you in?

[APrintezis]

how can you think this is fake ?!?! .. just google coordinates

(35.027273,-111.022768)

and see for yourself. although much smaller now than it initially was 50,000 years ago : ) you can still see that crater from satellite images.

it is about 4,000 ft in diameter and 570 ft deep. it looks even bigger when standing on that rim though!!

[HarBran4]

The place is real. Was there in 2008. Just south of I-40/Route 66 In Arizona.

[HarBran4]

Not Fake. Is Real. Was there and saw it for myself in 2008'. Really cool!!

[VideoFactoryV1]

this isn't fake guys. That's a real meteor crator.

[imsoepic49]

and also at 2:12

[toyce01]

fake

[imsoepic49]

@toyce01 dude thas not fake i went there last summer and that thing is HUGE up close o and pause at 1:18 see that black building yea thats the gift shop and the museum so HA its not fake

[heavenbliss34]

"Thats a scary thought to know that did happened. It could happen again in the near future."

[shaboooya]

thats it? this cant be right, this is the meteor that hit the earth? this is so tiny i thought the crater would be double this size

[mooseintree14]

hey are you the same guy / girl who said the 911 attacks were planned by Americans???? sounds like it...maybe this meteor was a hoax too...

[bIakmatt]

do you realize how much of an impact it would have taken to form a crater that size..

[JetMechMA]

@bIakmatt I was just there. They said it was a dense nickel/iron meteor about 150 feet in diameter, approximately 50,000 years ago. It came in at a speed similar to the space shuttle, tens of thousands of miles per hour and when it impacted, the whole thing was over in 10 seconds. It vaporized on impact, but not before it penetrated to a depth of 3,000 feet relative to the surrounding flat area.

[laktari]

Graet Fly! Thanks

[aam44Nose]

NUKE testing?

[fawaz008]

@aam44Nose

no it's huge Meteor hitt the earth long time ago

[Snowman374th]

I think it was a Bomb hole, Not a crater.!

And I do think it contributed to the killing of allot of thing's. Man made holes from Nuke Tests are slightly smaller, In some cases. Our precursors made this.! And many more. They say meteors to get us off the trail of the truth, Mankind was attacked By the GOD's.. E.T's.. I think it's coming again..!!

[drumdude46]

Was this the meteor that killed all the Lizards and Rats?

[FUCKsaranewyork]

Dimond Twin star.. nice plane

[ProducionesLEGO]

i went to see t

[toshclaw1]

Did this meteor really cause any kind of extinction? I don't think so.....

[canucks16]

probably not... more likely the one that made the gulf of mexico (slightly bigger ;) )

[Snowman374th]

How would ya..?

[TheKnives777]

kinda makes me wonder, "was Arizona always desert or did it dry up after the meteor hit?"

I went to the impact sight of this meteor its so big its not really a good reference in the size when you look at it from a youtube video. Its massive!

[Tiffany81nj]

They found one piece of the meteor that created this at Diablo Canyon, which is approximately 2.5 miles away from the impact site. The meteor is 92% iron and weighs in at approximately 1,400 lbs. All of the edges are silver and looked polished.

[churz214]

50,000 years ago, and whatever killed of the dinosaurs was way before, and way bigger

[Betoladodgers]

any1 knows about when that meteor hit???

[badtrinity72]

but where is the meteor that made the crater?.... are they made of ice..?.... because u only see craters./.... and not what made them, just curious

[EASYTIGER10]

The meteor is mostly vapourised - partly during its brief passage through the atmosphere, with the rest vapourised by the rapid compression and high temperatures of impact. Craters like this are actually a result of the very explosion that vapourises the meteor. Thats why they are a) round and b) bigger than the actual object.

So, to answer your question, most of the meteor was blown away as gas in the impact.

[badtrinity72]

ah i see ty for that .... x

[olebaj]

Your explanation seems ok but at the same time does not explain in full. There must be at least some remnants of that large meteor and we don't see any.

[britneyismygod]

the meteor that caused this crater was the one which wiped out the dinosaurs i think

[umpalumpa101909]

no... it was not the meteor that wiped out the dinosours

[lambofgod1638]

it was the meteor that hit by mexico, the gulf of mexico used to be all land, that spot was where the meteor hit and killed everything

[umpalumpa101909]

cool

[Snowman374th]

Ho ya know..? Did Man tell ya that.. lol

COVER UP.! The real cause of this can be questioned by the right people.

[umpalumpa101909]

Cause the meteor that Kicked the Dinosours ass would be alot bigger :P

[Snowman374th]

Maybe, But if it wasn't a meteor it was a bomb, They have more matter to displace.

and leave small holes as big as these.

Madagascar - Golf of Mexico. Now there's a crater hole from a meteor. A very big one. lol. I just know where we are today in power, I know we had to have caused the big one some time ago. And many small tries to rebuild later, Has led us to where we are now. About to repeat itself

[guanacoool]

yo estube ahi cuando fui a virginia pase un rato a ver el crater

[WolfikCZ]

i never understud there is crater.. but where is meteor?

[danimandy]

i can awnser your question to what did he say when he first saw it.. "holy shit"

[insanelygreatproduct]

fuck you man, I was thinking the same thing

[303Jafar303]

Amzaing....

[softrock3006]

gr8 vid

[studentdebts]

Why don't they build a Roman gladiator type stadium in there?

[studentdebts]

I wonder what the first American said when he saw it?

[deweythomson]

so i think the first american doesn´t know what he saw

[DigitalGrotto]

People that use the word 'retarded' are intellectually challenged.

[Snakebitehearts]

that's retarded.

[blazingsaddle21]

okay downie.

[KaOssis]

[In 1963, geologist Eugene Shoemaker published his landmark paper analyzing the similarities between the Barringer crater and craters created by nuclear test explosions in Nevada. Carefully mapping the sequence of layers of the underlying rock, and the layers of the ejecta blanket, where those rocks were deposited in reverse order, ]

Don't you people know what Nazi Reverse Psychology mean's? Nato, Barringer, Neck-Tie Nazi neuclear ethnic cleansing, and When the Earth Stood Still movie swap!.

[calypse550]

Where are the parts of the meteor?

[nerfbrothers1220]

dude this thing is thousands of years old

[calypse550]

Oh so it degraded or something? I mean if dinosaur bones could be found, which were, what, from millions of years ago I believe meteor remains could be left.

[ancalites]

most of it was destroyed on impact. There are debris chunks scattered around the rim and surrounding plains, though.

[SeveredWays]

too bad a meteor like his dont hit mexico city

[zakkw666]

its pretty cool yo think that that huge meteor hit in arizona but yet didnt harm anyone around

[irhasbengals1]

Are you retarded? This happened almost 25,00 years ago!!!!

[zakkw666]

your retarded jeeze.

[screamwriter1]

It's cool to be that stupid? Guess thats what gets you in the whitehouse most of the time "coolness" :P

[zakkw666]

i never said it was cool to be stupid nimb nuts

[05u16hep]

the weird thing is, where's the rock?

[pigscoasters]

The Rock went KABOOOOM

[JSmithv099]

small one

[bsoglobal]

it's pretty scary to think anything could hit us from out there!! seeing it makes you realize we are pretty vulnerable!! and something even larger could strike at any time!!! we are at the mercy of the heavens.....god bless us all

[DobermansRock]

Flew over it in my Blackhawk back in 2002. Cool stuff...

[austinga05]

I flew over that awhile back... pretty awesome.

[adam3176]

Not exactly true. This one could have came from directly from above and not from an angle. less time to burn up and more hit the earth. Do some reading. If it came from a sharp angle it might have burned up or broke up more before it ever made it to the surface.

[zekretzpy]

This is Much too ROUND to be some Impact crater. Any impact crater would be OBLONG, thus revealing what direction it came from. We live in an electric universe, the sun gets its radiant energy from the electric current that runs throughout the universe. IT was formed by Electrical discharge that exploded upwards toward a passing object close enough to alter the earths polar axis. Read the book "When worlds collide" by Velikovsky.

[RsGhost1]

Ur right!

[DobermansRock]

You arew out of your mind

[SARGENTSCRUFY]

I sort-of see where your comming from,... probably the same place the meteor came from. lol

[mtbhussler]

impact craters are generaly round check out images of the moon or mercury less than 10 % eliptical. It is not the angle of impact that determines crater dimentions it is the instantaneous release of energy. Chixsulub crater is 170 km in diameter, the entire capasitence of the earth would not store enough potential energy to blow this much rock out of the ground.

[mikem2302]

I read that the meteor was about the size of a box car. It must have really been traveling. Thanks for posting this. I passed up the opportunity to see it because I was to cheap to spend the money. Wish I had.

[TJS678]

Wow I wonder what it would be like inside it....

[peikinese9]

MY PARENTS TOOK ME THERE

[trueshinobi01]

The saiyans have arrived!!!

[triplehbk99]

what the hell!!! it is so huge crater!!!!! although i only watching it here, i still truly amaze how huge it is. but wait, where is the big rock?

[BoilingPoint212F]

It vaporized on impact with the earth

[EpsilonKnight2]

yep thats what nukes underground'll do to ya

[murern12]

is it bad timing to say. WHERE IS THE STONE? XD

[darkmorkon1243]

its scary lol burning that hell out you it has to hurt right

[skater10032000]

find out something the size of a basketball did this lol

[djstarman3]

nice... 5/5

[TyroneSandalphon]

fantastic thanks for posting

[windrivercountrykid]

Thanks!!

[methylene5]

Don't believe all that "lightning never strikes the same place twice" bullshit - keep away from that place, its dangerous !

lol

[Lippie17]

thats a big hole man lol But wheres the meateor

[mickymoo1997]

no!!!!!!!!1 that is real. my teacher said her parents went on a trip to arizona and saw that. it was probably not that big of a meteor but when it hit the groud it made a big hole. kinda like when you drop something in the water it kinda makes a little hole and it splashes up.most of the rocks on the ground are from meteors. think,if a astroid clides with another they fall apart and they just float out of space and couls atually fall right on earth without us knowing.

[lov3taco]

it is embedded in the earth really far down idiot

[Lippie17]

what the hell why is my comment bad???? It is a bloody hole in the ground......

[videocamper]

The comparative size of the visitors center complex in this video gives one an appreciation of the size of the crater. Nice view.

[vicbub71]

My great great great great grandfaters uncles cousins friend was flying there 50,000 years ago. He saw the whole thing happen said it was kinda loud. Anyway good video . Thanks for sharing. 5 stars

[siratb]

Thanks...Glad you liked it!

[reddyredd]

Thanks so much for this! Returning from a Chicago to LA trip (hehe, like the Route 66 song), I saw how close this was and drove all the way there. It was 1/2 before opening and my 3 friends were asleep. Once they opened I went to the entrance and saw...$12 each. Though I had only seen pictures, I just didn't think we would be happy spending $48 to see this. I still kind of wish I had spent $12 just to catch it for a few moments myself, though. At least now I can get some sense of it!

[veryoldcrustyman]

Very nice video.Gave it 5 stars.

[OSKALT1]

wow 5/5 :)

[Ethniki]

Very Good upload dude

thanks alot =)
