Hi Danaan -

Even in those areas with far fewer modern conveniences, population density is so high, a small disruption could easily cause mass deaths there as well.
I am acutely aware of that.

This is especially true if the celestial culprit breaks apart in the atmosphere and causes dozens or hundreds of impacts spread all over the world. And since a smaller impactor is more likely than the "big one", then yes, it is realistic that survival is possible, even probable, for those who know how to survive.
In the real world, the dust load causes climate collapse.
That in turn causes food resource collapse, and thus knowledge of how to obtain those food resources becomes useless.
And sometimes no piece has to hit; the dust load itself is sufficient.
Obviously, I could write for pages on this. As a matter of fact, I already have.
I think there's links to my reports on historical impacts available in the introduce yourself section here. If not, then lists of links to them are available around the internet.
I'll just add that your understanding of impacts, and the processes, is very limited.

BTW, don't you normally hold the "sky is falling" types in disdain? In this discussion, it seems you are taking an all or nothing sort of view.
Yes, I hold them in disdain, as the loss of life due to impact is entirely preventable now.
You're the one who moved the topic in this direction, as it started off on the public's fascination with Templars and Masons, and the exploitation of their general archaeological and historical confusion by a collective of con-men.
Your own romantic fantasies about surviving an impact event are bizarre.
C****t, some people get paid $125 an hour for this kind of work.
