I say supposedly because the evidence strongly suggest that the end of the Cretaceous was not a single event but a series of events, lasting 10's of thousands of years, that cause their extinction. Same for all the major extinction events.
But dinosaurs are not extinct. If you own a budgie or have eaten chicken you have had a close encounter of the dinosaur kind.

Same for all the major extinction events. Climactic change, size and the low availability of oxygen at the Cretaceous-Eocene boundary...
