If an asteroid half the size of Apophis were to hit an oil field, what would happen?

would there be massive smoke resulting in darkness for how long? and how wide an area?


The asteroid's size would be about 500ftIf an asteroid half the size of Apophis were to hit an oil field, what would happen?
i wouldnt want to be around it.If an asteroid half the size of Apophis were to hit an oil field, what would happen?
If you own a donkey, kiss your @ss goodbye.


The thing that made the 4200 foot wide crater in Arizona was about 160 feet in diameter. Your presumptive impacter is more than three times that, giving a crater of about three miles wide, 800 to a thousand feet deep. The shock wave alone would kill anyone within 120 miles. Smoke? Yes, not that there would be many to notice or care.


If it landed in an ocean the tsunami would devastate shorelines for thousands of miles, making the one in the Indian Ocean from a couple years ago look like nothing.
