    In the 60s, my dad worked in the nuclear weapons industry, so my brother asked him what we should do in case of a nuclear war? And honest to God, from behind his newspaper, he said, "Hope you die first." I guess that applies to any worldwide catastrophe (Somebody's dad had to work in the weapons of mass destruction industry)

Same applies to a worldwide catastrophe, like of course these concepts could be fun in video games or some entertaining movies of course, but we cannot forget that reality is much, much harsher and devastating than anything we simply see on the screen.

    Depending how large and the composition of the asteroid would determine the effects of impact beyond the initial hit. For the Dinosaurs, most died from starvation after the impact, not the impact itself. While it was a massive extinction event, not all animals went extinct - not even all dinos (those are the birds we have today). Depending how much advanced notice we managed to get, we might be able mount a reasonable response (deflection?). The asteroid featured here is said to be the size of Rhode Island (36x47 miles), but the dino killer was "only" 6-8 miles in diameter. However, that large size actually works to our advantage - unless it comes in directly from the direction of the sun (sorta a blind spot), we should be able to see it coming years in advance. Hopefully, we'll never have to test that theory.

      It's large size only helps in detection .. not deflection. There is absolutely nothing you could do using present or future tech to deflect something that massive (36x47x36 miles with say a cigar shape and density at least equal to a silicate asteroid), even if you knew well in advance of a possible impact. I think an ant colony has a better chance of forcing a course correction on a D9 Cat 'dozer than humans do for any fast object that is measured in miles

    This video mentioned something most sources overlook at that's thermal effects of the impactor before it hits the ground. Anyone in the line of sight of the impactor traveling through the atmosphere would be incinerated by the intense light and heat radiation given off by the rammed air plasma in front of the impactor. The ejected material would also radiate so hard.
    Literally, fires would start before the thing even hits the ground.

    A couple of thoughs - overall a very good, comprehensive video.
    One - a few hours after the meteor impact on that size, the outside would likely be hot like a steam room. Not just toxic smelling air, but 100-120 degrees, maybe more. Falling molten rock and heat from impact - it would be HOT.
    A family with that kind of preparation including 6 months of food would probably have some kind of masks for breathing, unless they were impossible to buy due to high demand.
    And - a ham radio and mini transmission station - OK, that's harder, but that's an essential bit of equipment. Can you imagine being inside with your family in a small space for months? Making contact, even if that contact is hundreds or thousands of miles away would be so important to keep from going crazy. So important for moral for the kids.
    An impact of that size would be hard to survive even with max prep. But impacts almost THAT BIG, are extremely rare. The last one was 66 million years ago.
    Also, there is still easy gas and oil available, smaller pumps. Not enough to supply 8 billion people, but enough to help a much smaller population of survivors.

      Depending on the size of the asteroid...most underground bunkers will most likely collapse.

A seriously reinforced bunker might stand a chance, but how common are those?

The upshot: Michael and his family are all doomed to die, but some few humans may survive until conditions clear. That's cheery. :) Seriously, that is pretty accurate, and even your description of Michael's family is pretty optimistic, assuming that things like air filters will continue to work for any reasonable amount of time, etc. But still they will all die, simply because the obstacles are too great to overcome.

    That guy should've let his neighbor Trucker in. After meteor impact, there is no telling even that shelter will hold out completely, having an extra pair of hands will help dig themselves out after a possible collapse... or they can all just die from the collapse together anyways. After the surface temperature calms again, having more people on your side is better especially people you know and can trust, beats going out there alone.

      I think part 2 would be an Uber wake-up call & a real ending for the main character & his family. I'm afraid. So sad..
      He'll be facing/ fighting his past, decisions and inner demons & would paradoxically show so much. Namely, better to have died in instant . really think part 2 will have a spiritual/ psychological implications on why are we ? / Meaning of life stuff.. .
      For me , the way I might imagine part 2, in one or few words: futility. Pain. Sorrow. Remorse. Meeting maker kind of thing in a deep significant way.
      Like The sharpness of his actions (killing the naighbour for instance . Leaving his Naighbours wife to just die & go fend for herself & die , after seeing her husband killed. another example ) just too grim to bare.
      If rather have given space to them. Better to have clean conscience.
      I'm not saying that the naighbour or wife were good people. We don't know. But makes u think . I mean .. gosh.. can't explain it all in 1 go.
      We are all going to inadvertently die anyway. Might and better live your life in giving / love .
      Than the soul death without.
      Oh gosh . I got dark. But I can't see how else it could end from being presented with the facts (how he , the video maker op left it) ! Gosh ! Is all I can say.
      Really felt for that Naighbours wife.
      But there's more. Would an asteroid impact like that just expose us all as selfish, interested only in out own survival ? & What's the point in having children !? If that is the existence/works you leave them to ?!? Agh terrible but real thoughts.
      I hope not but it seems so. Even if we do survive, If our primary motive for living is to survive, to live (& at expense of others , and that's a whole other kettle of fish), then really , we are already dead men walking.
      Do you get me, like ?

    I grew up during the cold war, at school we had nuclear drills where we would "drop and cover" under our tiny desks, a futile exercise meant more to keep us feeling like we had some control rather than to actually save us . Even as a second grader I knew that. Sure, it might save some from falling debris, but not where I lived. I lived on a military base, and not just any base, Fort Sam Houston. Practically everyone in the Army got training at Fort Sam. And less than 30 miles away there was Camp Bullis to the North, Kelly and Lackland Air Force bases to the South West, and Randolph Air Force Base to the East. Yeah, five military bases that close and I lived dead center. So even when I was six I understood that if nuclear bombs were deployed I was a target, I would not survive. I knew with 100% certainty my being under my little desk would not keep me safe. And that was more comforting than anything. In the event of a large scale nuclear war, a large meteor impact, or any other extinction or near-extinction level event the best outcome in my opinion is to be terminated right away, not linger well into the event and suffer a long and agonizing death. It's not a world I want to experience. It's one of the reasons I've never moved far from Fort Sam, to stay on target and prepared in my own way.

      An interesting point of view. I suppose I share it, although I'd not been entirely serious about it until recently. But you'd be surprised how helpful that desk could be. It would make a bigger difference if outdoors, but that sort of thing can make a world of difference with a nuke. If you have any warning, and particularly if you knew which direction it was likely to hit, your top priority should be finding something in the terrain or otherwise to get between you and the effects of the bomb. People without cover get cooked at distances that are totally survivable for people who found a ditch or a small hill.
      That's my understanding, anyway. I don't want to pretend I actually know anything about this stuff.

    Great video. I do feel that the size of your impactor IS NOT reflected in the damage depicted. You described Chicxulub (estimated to be 6 miles), not a 48x37 mile rock. The damage would be exponentially worse. The moment it hit the atmosphere would likely take out a good portion of Europe. People standing "beneath" its entry trajectory would simply disappear. Back to carbon.

      A projectile with a diameter of 42.5 miles with a middle of the road density of 2000 kg/m^3 traveling at 20 km/s and impacting crystalline rock at an angle of 45 degrees would release 6.7x10^25 Joules of energy. This is equivalent to 1.6x10^10 megatons of TNT. Chicxulub is estimated to have released something like 1.0x10^8 megatons of TNT. This is a big difference. At the location depicted in the video a earthquake measuring 11.4 would arrive 19.2 minutes after impact. Michael and his family WOULD NOT survive this.

      He just checked the impact simulator. However je misinterpreted it. At 6000 km from the impact point the sismic wave is no longer 11.4 and will barely do damage. Also the average ejecta will be 8 inches thick, so I really doubt that this guy city will be that damaged by fire. Also note that his neighbour could have survived the impact by just staying outside the shelter inside the tunnel that lead to the surface…

    The compression of the atmosphere is intense enough to create plasma and produce xrays. An asteroid this large would punch a hole in the atmosphere creating a vacuum channel out into space. It would look like a column of molten debris as material shoots up the channel. The dust in the atmosphere would drop temperatures for a 100 years to the point where plants would die off.
