You wouldn't die immeadiatly... the website only calculates crater size... chances are there would be radioactive fallout (depending on composition and mass) or the sheer force of the seismic shockwave could literaly rip you apart... 'course I'm talking doomsday mass, below that is very different...

It wouldn't be radioactive . You're talking about a 2 year winter that is caused by massive dustclouds blocking out the sun.

By all means it would be radioactive... your talking about massive peice of cosmic rock teraing a whole in the o-zone... thats why I said it depends on the size... if the asteroid is big enough it will open the floodgates for UV rays...

EDIT: One more thing... we do not know the entire composition of wayward celestial bodies... Flash frozen iron, plus plenty of possibly radioactive materials... all of which would be pulverized on impact and scattered...

I'm sorry but an asteroid hitting the earth does not produce a nuclear, or radioactive explosion of any kind. It does however if large enough produce a massive dustcloud. It also won't "tear a hole in the ozone" permanently. It is nowhere large enough to have a profound effect on the ozone.
