Where do you get that number? I interpreted "slightly bigger than the breadth of Honshu" to be the measure of the width of Honshu, not the length-- which would be from 50 to 230 km. If it was length, we're talking 1300 km. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honshu For me at least my trust in the credability of the "simulation" was damaged from the very beginning when the asteroid was shown to be volcanic. BTW, if anyone wants to save the video, it should be stored in your web browser cache with the extension *.flv. ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
