A lot of videos have been showing the Darvaza Gas Crater in Turkmenestein as the impact site.
Wiki - The Derweze area is rich in natural gas. While drilling in 1971, Soviet geologists tapped into a cavern filled with natural gas.The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of 230 feet.

Locals have dubbed the cavern "The Door to Hell".
