$\begingroup$ Cheers great post. So on the other side of the world the sound was loud enough to break car windows for a period of 10-20 seconds, even if a force 10 earthquake wasn't bad enough. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @aliential I agree, this is a really great answer from B-rian. There is plenty of evidence that the Deccan Traps are related to Chicxulub: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Traps#Chicxulub_crater. Geologic activity antipodal to asteroid impacts is a known phenomena perhaps best characterized by the mountain range opposite from the Caloris Basin on Mercury. $\endgroup$
