Dinosaur-killing asteroid generated a giant TSUNAMI nearly one mile high when it struck Earth 66 million years ago, fossilised 'megaripples' buried in sediment confirm

#6  Considering that the Earth's surface is 75% water, it would follow that any random asteriod strike would also have a 75% chance of ocean effects.
But they act suprised.

#4  In the last few decades amazingly strong deep water currents have been discovered; these 'may' explain the apparent 'mega-ripples.'

#1  All very well and good (bad news for the Dinos, though) but still germane should one consider the seismic analysis performed to identify 'ripples' in a seabed 5000 ft deep.

Imagine what cave and tunnel structures can have been mapped from recent opportunistic (targeted?) explosions.
