- The shock-wave travels at hypersonic speeds (6,150-12,300km/h)
- Debris are blasted off into space, only to return and destroy the surface of the Earth
- Fires would engulf the entire surface of the planet, vaporizing all the life in their way
- Within 1 day, the surface of the Earth is inhabitable
- The evidence shows that this has happened at least 6 times in Earth's history
