50,000+ years ago (debatable), a meteor hit this area right out of flagstaff, arizona.

it was 150 feet long. 300,000 tons.

hit so hard that:

- coal were immediately turned to diamonds

- life for at least 3-4 miles were killed, if not by the explosion, then the shockwaves

- you’d have to bomb Hiroshima 149 more times to get the same degree of power.

it’s well worth a visit.

$15 well spent (debateable).
