Why did the Dinosaurs Die?

Well, According to Article,  Scientists have discovered the creator that was left by an asteroid about 66 Mya in what we know today as Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Now that there is some evidence this could be proof that this was a possibility. However, there is also much more evidence that suggests that there were multiple events that caused the Dinosaurs to go extinct and vanish. Another strongly debated point is that a tsunami swept across parts of western Noth American. I also believe that this is a valid argument.

One thing that stood out to me in this article was the fact that almost every possible way the Dinosaurs could have died that they mentioned in the article could be true. I never knew that there were some many possibilities and factors that could have contributed to their death. Indeed I mist say that the Dinosaurs have it rough. Especially having to live in 2 years of darkness. Just imagine not seeing the sun for two years, I'm sure the Earth would be a much darker place. Both physically and emotionally.

My personal theory on why the Dinosaurs went extinct is very different and a very knew theory. In addition to all of the geological factors that may have caused them to die off, have there been any studies that suggest a biological phenomenon happened. I understand that this would be very complicated to study because most of the things that were living are now dead. However, what if the Dinosaurs became subjective to some type of plague or virus die to the rapidly changing environment. There is a strong possibility that Dinosaurs became the only reliable host for bacteria and viruses to live in since most of the trees died during the 2 dark years. As we have seen in science history, microorganism are nothing to play with and the could make a drastic change on a population. 
Overall, I feel that there is plenty of time for more of this research to take place and hopefully one day we will have a definite answer.
