That is some meteorite! Even bigger than Albania. Seriously, though, a lot more would be happening in such a collision than what shows in the artist's rendering. The meteorite would already be coming apart due to earth's gravity, and there would probably be some major electrical effects. The waves and ripples around the impact site wouldn't be forming immediately; the impact would be in slow motion on that scale, but not so slow that land waves would move relatively that fast.

Few people know Albanians are actually the descendants of inhabitants of Atlantis who escaped a "global killer" underground, only to resurface having forgotten most of their technological knowledge. (kidding of course)

I am trying to picture a "relatively" small black hole colliding with a planet, but my amateurish knowledge in Physics and Astronomy seems to fail me past the point where the Earth is (possibly) incinerated by Sun-fuel spiraling toward it.
