K/T Extinction Event (Cretaceus-Tertiary, 65 million years ago)

The impactor which struck the Yucatan Peninsula at the
Chicxulub Crater site is believed to have released the energy
equivalent to 100 teratons of TNT (one Hiroshima explosion
every second for 140 years).

The body was roughly six miles across, travelling at six miles
per second and is said to be a remnant of the asteroid that
also comprised 298 Baptistina (13-30 km, 19.8 km•sec^-1).
