Ladies & Gentlemen,
the Nördlinger Ries Crater measures 22 x 24 km, the impactor was about 1 km in diameter - should be a candidat too.

Then, of course, there is that once-in-an-eon occasion where something very very large makes it through intact, and this can really do some damage. Fortunately, such hits are extremely rare, but they are worth noting, if only to serve as reminders of the power of the stars to undo the normal routine here on Earth, with little more than a few minutes' warning. So where — and when — did these monsters hit? Let's take a look at the geological records, and see. source:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUnDwn0fN3g Coming up: 10. Barringer Crater, Arizona, USA 9.
