Well, I'd imagine a huge shockwave would circle the globe and destroy alot of stuff............tsunamis, Earth's crust would probably crack. I could see a large enough one possibly hit with so much force it splits the planet.

Sorry 12800 years ago.

https://curiosmos.com/global-reset-12800-years-ago-scientists-find-evidence-of-mass-extinction-by-asteroid/

Just search 12800 meteor strike 12800 years ago. Lots of evidence.

That russian strike on 1907 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event
Is part of the same meteor strike from 12800 years ago we go through the belt 2x a year .

Pretty cool to watch every fall here.

It depends.  As long as it doesn’t punch a hole clear through the earth the people closest to the edges should have time to make it to the other side. Of course this side will be destroyed with no sun and ash everywhere the other side should be relatively pristine. The people who make it there will have to domesticate the dinosaurs so pretty much like the Flinstones.

ETA that’s the beauty of the flat earth. There’s always the other side to go to if this one gets real fucked up.

Does the earth's crust just break?
Does the planet get knocked out of its orbit? (and if it does, what happens?)

Does all the heat generated by the impact just incinerate the whole planet?

I'm genuinely curious.  I have a fairly decent grasp of physics, but never really contemplated the result of an impact to the planet like this.

Thinking about it now, If a big enough asteroid hit the earth.


Wouldn't an oxygen sink be created that would suck most of the oxygen out of the atmosphere?.

Either way we are fucked. Atmosphere cooking us, or atmosphere getting sucked into space and we all suffocate/freeze to death simultaneously.

As someone pointed out above:

The Chicxulub crater (IPA: [t?ik?u'lub]) is an impact crater buried underneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.[3] Its center is offshore near the communities of Chicxulub Puerto and Chicxulub Pueblo, after which the crater is named.[4] It was formed when a large asteroid, about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) in diameter, struck the Earth.[5] The date of the impact coincides precisely with the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (commonly known as the "K–Pg boundary"), slightly more than 66 million years ago,[2] and a widely accepted theory is that worldwide climate disruption from the event was the cause of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, a mass extinction in which 75% of plant and animal species on Earth became extinct, including all non-avian dinosaurs.

Answer here

Distance from Impact: 10700.00 km ( = 6640.00 miles )
Projectile diameter: 16.10 km ( = 9.99 miles )
Projectile Density: 11343 kg/m3
Impact Velocity: 72.00 km per second ( = 44.70 miles per second ) (Your chosen velocity is higher than the maximum for an object orbiting the sun)
Impact Angle: 45 degrees
Target Density: 2500 kg/m3
Target Type: Sedimentary Rock
Energy:

Energy before atmospheric entry: 6.42 x 1025 Joules = 1.53 x 1010 MegaTons TNT
The average interval between impacts of this size is longer than the Earth's age.
Such impacts could only occur during the accumulation of the Earth, between 4.5 and 4 billion years ago.
Major Global Changes:

The Earth is not strongly disturbed by the impact and loses negligible mass.
The impact does not make a noticeable change in the tilt of Earth's axis (< 5 hundreths of a degree).
Depending on the direction and location of impact, the collision may cause a change in the length of the day of up to 98.4 milliseconds.
The impact does not shift the Earth's orbit noticeably.
Crater Dimensions:

What does this mean?


Transient Crater Diameter: 272 km ( = 169 miles )
Transient Crater Depth: 96.1 km ( = 59.7 miles )

Final Crater Diameter: 566 km ( = 352 miles )
Final Crater Depth: 1.99 km ( = 1.24 miles )
The crater formed is a complex crater.
The volume of the target melted or vaporized is 404000 km3 = 96900 miles3
Roughly half the melt remains in the crater, where its average thickness is 6.97 km ( = 4.33 miles ).
Thermal Radiation:

What does this mean?


The fireball is below the horizon. There is no direct thermal radiation.
Seismic Effects:

What does this mean?


The major seismic shaking will arrive approximately 35.7 minutes after impact.
Richter Scale Magnitude: 11.4 (This is greater than any earthquake in recorded history)
Mercalli Scale Intensity at a distance of 10695.23 km:

IV. Felt indoors by many, outdoors by few during the day. At night, some awakened. Dishes, windows, doors disturbed; walls make cracking sound. Sensation like heavy truck striking building. Standing motor cars rocked noticeably.

V. Felt by nearly everyone; many awakened. Some dishes, windows broken. Unstable objects overturned. Pendulum clocks may stop.

Ejecta:

What does this mean?


Little rocky ejecta reaches this site; fallout is dominated by condensed vapor from the projectile.

Air Blast:

What does this mean?


The air blast will arrive approximately 9 hours after impact.
Peak Overpressure: 35300 Pa = 0.353 bars = 5.01 psi
Max wind velocity: 72.9 m/s = 163 mph
Sound Intensity: 91 dB (May cause ear pain)
Damage Description:

Wood frame buildings will almost completely collapse.

Glass windows will shatter.

Up to 90 percent of trees blown down; remainder stripped of branches and leaves.

Damage to the planet itself? Minimal. To affect the planet would require something the size of the moon. And then? The earth resettles with two moons and it keeps going on.

In most asteroid disaster movies the final giant asteroid is seen rumbling overhead and disappearing over the horizon before impact. But a giant asteroid would streak in just as fast as the meteors we see every night, correct?  Just a much bigger event at the end.

Just the video shared is gonna kill anything but maybe some bacteria.

I will have to look up the vroup again.
They are self funded for the last 16 years if i remember right and based mostly out of Canada yet are the working group is scattered around fhe world.

Read it and a few other articles a few years back looking up other asteroid meteor impacts and ran across it by chance.
They were talking about the dust & soot layer left from the dino extintion astroind and found a closer top layer that points to the strike 12800 years ago.
Now they are thinking it was a lot bigger then they thought since this 2nd layer is showing up worldside.

Unless the asteroid was the size of the Moon, the globe would not suffer greatly. Might make a tiny, tiny change in the orbital velocity or spin. But nothing human senses could register. Might be an uptick in...seismic...activity for  a while, and tsunamis would circle the planet several times.
