Sixty-five million years ago an asteroid the size of Mt. Everest slammed into the earth near South America exploding with the force of a million nuclear bombs and unleashing the power of the sun. The entire biomass of the earth was set ablaze, the atmosphere was cooked and millions of life forms were wiped from the planet. Watch as experts, using the latest in modern scientific technology, reconstruct the last moments on earth and recreate the day that earth faced an unimaginable assault from space.

Season 1, Episode 11
On a hillside in the badlands of South Dakota a paleontologist, on a routine expedition, discovers the tail of a duckbilled dinosaur named Edmontosaurus. But as the tail is unearthed, it is discovered to be encased in mummified skin. Scientists were even more amazed when the skin appears to hold clues of a vicious attack by small predators. The discovery of tiny, serrated teeth are linked to dinosaurs called Dromaeosaurus; deadly members of the raptor family. But then the bones revealed evidence of a second attacker Tyrannosaurus rex. Using the latest in science technology, CAT scan results and modern forensic science, experts recreate the events that may have lead to the death of this massive dinosaur.
