Meteorite/Simon

Scott talks with geologist Mike Warner of London University's Imperial College. Dr. Warner led a team of British scientists to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula to study a giant crater created by a meteorite that landed on the earth 65 million years ago. It's believed this meteorite may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.
