I’m basically asking about the most notable 24 hours in human history.

    Probably one of those mass-death events millions of years ago. Outside human history, but whatever.

      True, the Chicxulub impact 66 million years ago might be the most horrific single event to have ever happened in the entire history of Earth. It directly caused the extinction of 75% of all plant and animal species on this planet.

      This video puts the horror into perspective by demonstrating the effects of the impact in real time if the same asteroid were to hit Earth now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya3w1bvaxaQ
