Not only that, he calls it "science-fiction". But read the above once  
more: That's not Shiva. Shiva is supposed to be southwest of that.

Depends on e. g. the composition of the impact site. The carbonates and  
sulfates of Chicxulub made the affair a lot more unhealthy than it would  
have been otherwise.  
  
Me, I wait for the evidence that there's a crater under the traps, which  
doesn't sound logical.
