Comments:  Just a few quick points. 

verse 8:     a very great mountain with a burning fire was cast off into the sea,  
                [likely the Mediterranean is meant]

Cf.      "(And) IN THAT DAY,
YHVeH shall visit with His tearing*ankle*that*comes*fiercely*down,
and (with His) great*loud*and*ancient*and*many*in*number [angels and saints, as though a] -- hardened*strong*stubborn*and*severe* Sword on the Leviathan, the fleeing Serpent; even on the Leviathan, the Serpent who*perverts*and*unlawfully*accuses*out*of*context;
and He shall slay the Dragon (of the Fig Trees [LXX: ton sykon] )
which is in (the midst of) the Western Sea.” [the Mediterranean]
(Isaiah 27:1 - my translation)

verse 9:  those having / possessing souls --   
        

Re: Genesis 1:20-21 (LITV).  

 20 ¶ And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarmers having a soul of life; and let the birds fly over the earth, on the face of the expanse of the heavens.
21 And God created the great sea animals, and all that creeps, having a living soul, which swarmed the waters, according to its kind; and every bird with wing according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

(Literal Translation of the Holy Bible - LITV,  Copyright © 1976 - 2000 by Jay P. Green, Sr.)

The Greek word of interest here in Revelation 8:9,  psuchas, is  translated as "souls", refers to those animal forms  that have the ability to blow or breathe.

verse 9, continued:

              and the third of the ships  were thoroughly defiled - corrupted - destroyed 

              [is to be read in the context of what is inferred by earlier verses, that these ships are defiled - corrupted - destroyed by the Sea of blood.  One possibility is that it could be an intense new strain of red tide, one that acts as a consuming and leprous / toxic mold that takes over a vessel, and is either immune or very highly  resistant  to chemical deterrents and treatments.]

verse 10:  and fell down, plummeting out of Heaven  a great burning luminary / star as a torch / lamp. Specifically that the fall and impact will occur and likely be contained to only that part of the world in which it is night-time when this event comes into existence. I calculate that from the time Anti-Christ proclaims he is now Israel's G-D to the time of impact is likely to be somewhere between 6-12 hours, projecting the proclamation is done around 3 pm in the afternoon, and nighttime darkness needs to fall only upon the full width of the Mediterranean Sea for the Asteroid to have permission to strike, followed by a tidal wave traveling at approximately the speed of sound aimed directly at the Eastern Mediterranean shoreline as its directional reason of having come into existence.

Cf. Matthew 24 (LITV) 

15 Then when you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (the one reading, let him understand), Dan. 11:31; 12:11
16 then let those in Judea flee into the mountains;
17 the one on the housetop, let him not go down to take anything out of his house;
18 and the one in the field, let him not turn back to take his garment.
19 But woe to the ones having a child in womb, and to those suckling in those days!
20 And pray that your flight will not occur in winter nor in a sabbath.
21 For there will be great affliction, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.

In verse 18, the reason for not stopping to take a garment is that by the utterance of Anti-Christ to say he is the Deity of all Creation and of Israel, it is a signal for the every pseudo-Palestinian (the neo-Arab and former Edomite / Jordanian by another name) to in unison cut the Jews off and annihilate them once and for all as stated in Obadiah

10 ¶ Shame shall cover you from the violence against your brother Jacob, and you shall be cut off forever.
13 You should not have entered into My people's gate on the day of his calamity; also you should not have looked on his evil on the day of his calamity, nor should you have sent out against his force in the day of his calamity.
14 Nor should you have stood on the crossways to cut off those of him who escaped, nor should you have shut up his survivors in the day of distress.
15 For the day of Jehovah is near on all the nations: As you have done, it shall be done to you; your reward shall return on your head!   (LITV)

Even so, those who pseudo-Palestinians and their allies who in that day will spend hours in their attempted national massacre of all the Jews will have for their reward the shame of a Heaven sent Asteroid induced  Tidal Wave upon their heads to send them all down to hell for attempting the annihilation of G-D's Chosen People.   'Nuff said.
