I just hit the earth with an icy comet the same diameter as London. Using nowt but the drop-down options it calculated the diameter of the crater as 124,000 miles and the crater depth as 74,000 miles.

Seeing as the earth is only 7,500 miles in diameter, I think I can claim that as a head shot. :getmecoat:

"100 percent of the Earth is melted"
"Richter Scale Magnitude: 16"
"The fireball appears 4220.641 times larger than the sun"

I think I got a bit trigger happy on the sliders with this one...

You broke up at 293,000 feet. There was no crater. Tsunami wave amplitude is less than 10 cm at your location.

Story of my life :sad:
