… and now a Meteorite Impact!

This huge hole in the Arizona desert was made by the impact of a meteorite some 50,000 years ago. The meteorite was around 50m diameter, producing this crater of about 1,200m in diameter and 170m deep.

Imagine the result of such an impact today, in a more populated area.
