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.

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.
