Thought this was covered by Nat Geo back in Nov. 2001.
""Billions of tons of ocean water were propelled into the air as high as 30 miles (48 kilometers) and vaporized. Millions of tons of debris and rocks were ejected into the atmosphere. The incident incinerated everything along the East Coast, triggered gigantic tsunamis, and decimated marine life in the surrounding area.""

I think that's why some people are going with the meteorite. But this discovery just involves tsunami deposits.
