100 million mega tons of tnt,
A six mile diameter rock falls from the sky.
There is about 6 seconds to watch it fall unless you see the shadow first and happen to look up to see.
I wonder what the approach angle was and if it did come from the direction of the sun.
Did the dinosaurs have any advance warning?

I wonder what the approach angle was and if it did come from the direction of the sun.

According to this https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-15269-...

"Chicxulub crater was formed by a steeply-inclined (45–60° to horizontal) impact from the northeast."

So not from the direction of the sun! That's the first time I've heard that, so thanks.
