A series of videos I put together from pictures and other videos that I've found around the internet and on youtube. These are meteor craters from all around the world, some younger than you might think. Did you know that there have been at least five large meteor strikes in the last 100 years? Tunguska you may know about, but there have been a number of other events.

  • a question,, how long do meteors fly? why is the impact so huge when the meteor is small?

  • It's all about kinetic energy. You drop a rock from a few feet, it can make a dent in the ground. You drop it from a plane, you get a hole. Now, if there was a solid chunk of iron the size of a house, weighing the better part of 5,000 tons moving at say, 30 miles PER SECOND, the impactor would have the same energy as it's mass in TNT. A house size meteor would have the impact force ofa tactical nuke. As for how long they fly, no more than 15 seconds in the atmosphere, billions of yrs bef.

  • Part 4 is not going to be put up. I lost the files I needed to make it in an unfortunate deleting incident. (I was cleaning off the hard drive and erased it on accident).

  • Nicely done!

  • Probably not for a few months. I'm on Roadrunner lite, it takes hours to upload anything. As soon as people start buying cars again, I'll get back on turbo.

  • do you have any plans of uploading the 4th part within a forseeable future?

  • My home internet is off for the time being. I won't be able to upload part 4 for a few weeks.

  • craters which are younger than that as well? Also it says at the end "continues in part 4...", and part 4 doesn't even exist yet.

  • good but u have missed a hell lot of stuff and a lot better craters and more famous too
