: Money quote: The study, which was presented at the 44th Lunar and Planetary
: Science Conference this week, examined the 112-mile Chucxulub crater in
: Mexico. ...

: The researchers found that, surprisingly, whatever hit the Earth generated
: far less debris than had been previously thought. This implied that the
: missile was a much smaller object and therefore, must have been travelling
: at phenomenal speeds in order to create the giant crater.

But WAIT!
Were we not told...

Sixty-four million years ago, a large extra-terrestrial object struck the Earth in what would later be called southeastern Mexico. The object was buried thousands of feet below ground, its nearly two kilometer length remarkably intact.

Nearly two kilometers in length is roughly four and half times as high (long) as the Empire State Building!

So now it was a much smaller object?

Lies... damn lies... and the Jjaro.

PID... a story of greed, lies and... the Jjaro.
