Reading comprehension fail. Color me shocked.
This is the first time the scientific community has agreed that
only one asteroid killed them all. It was believed by many before that it would take multiple strikes to cause that kind of catastrophic loss. Or another event all together.

The researchers wanted to settle disputes about what killed off the dinosaurs. Some theories have argued that it would have taken many meteorites to cause such a cataclysmic event. Another rival theory suggested that the mass extinction was a result of a massive volcanic eruption in India that took place around the same time as the impact.
