- Shocking moment caught on camera when fishermen got surprised by the incredible power of a tsunami wave which hit Greenland's west coast. Luckily all three were able to escape the wave just in time. Subscribe for more crazy videos ► ruclips.net/user/LicetStudio...
In the evening of June 17th, 2017 (at about 9:40 pm local time), a gigantic landslide (measuring 300 m × 1,100 m = 980 ft × 3,610 ft) occurred on the southern slope of the Umiammakku Nunaat peninsula. Several dozen million cubic meters of rock and slope sediments fell about 1 km (3,300 ft) into the Kangilleq fjord, which triggered a tsunami that moved westward into the Karrat fjord complex. The tsunami wave, which was initially over 90 meters high (about 300 ft.), reached the small village Nuugaatsiaq with a wave height of about ten meters (about 30 ft.). It took the catastrophic wave only seven minutes to cover the 32 kilometers distance to Nuugaatsiaq, which means it reached an average speed of 275 km/h. The tsunami dragged four people out to sea, who have since been considered dead. Furthermore, seven people were slightly injured and two people were seriously injured by the catastrophic natural disaster. Eleven buildings were destroyed. Rescue helicopters brought the approximately 200 local residents to the district capital of Uummannaq.
In 2018, a Swiss company observed the situation and found that the mountain slipped about 1 cm every day and one could expect another landslide at any time. The risk for this was rated at 11.5 out of 12, which is why a resettlement at this time was further excluded. Shortly thereafter it was announced that there was still danger from the mountain slope, making it impossible to end the evacuation. The village of Nuugaatsiaq has since been abandoned.
Was the Greenland tsunami a "mega-tsunami"? The Greenland tsunami may be considered as mega-tsunami (or impact tsunami) due to its incredible initial wave height of nearly 100 m / + 300 ft. By contrast to ordinary tsunamis, which usually reach an hight of about 30-100 ft., a megatsunami is a tsunami with an initial wave amplitude measured in several tens, hundreds, or possibly thousands of metres. Megatsunamis are caused by giant landslides and other impact events (including meteorite impacts in an ocean), while ordinary tsunamis are usually caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions (which do not normally generate such large waves). Other recent megatsunamis include the wave associated with the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa (volcanic eruption), the 1958 Lituya Bay megatsunami (landslide into a bay), and the wave resulting from the Vajont Dam landslide (caused by human activity) (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatsu....
When comparing this "Greenland Tsunami" with the 1958 "Lituya Bay Mega-tsunami", it seems surprising that the landslide which triggered the Greenland Tsunami was actually even bigger than the landslide which triggered the 1958 Lituya Bay mega-tsunami (45 million m³ which fell about 1 km into the Kangilleq fjord // vs. // 30 million m³ which fell from an elevation of about 900 m into the Lituya Bay). Somehow the Lituya Bay wave ended up being way higher in its max. (+524 m Vs. 100 m). The Greenland Tsunami wave was way faster - it only took 7 minutes to cover the 32 km distance to Nuugaatsiaq (which equals and average speed of about 275 km/h) compared with the speed of the Lituya Bay wave (estimated to only 160-210 hm/h).

It is prob harder to predict when it is going to happen and how big it will be when it is happening in front of you.
@@iluv2troll619 : Why “predict” at all though ? Error on the side of caution. Get to the highest point you can. You can always replace your boat and gear, but you can’t replace your life.

R.I.P. that small family.
Frightening how safe the wave looks after it recedes, but in reality it is extremely dangerous.
That did not look safe the way it pulled that boat out and knocked it over!
No shit sherlock
Indeed... you could see how hard the sea pulled back after that wave, that is not normal and is a sign of how turbulent the waters were.
That boat was a pretty clear warning lol.
if you ever see water recede like that and that fast... you're gonna have a bad time.
“Safe” well it’s clearly obvious you know nothing about the ocean.
Someone needs to give the camera man an award. He showed us what we have always wanted to see but wouldn’t record it ourselves
What about a Darwin Award?
Before everyone says they're trying to get killed they were trying to secure their boats because that's probably their livelihood. Without that they can't go out and get food for themselves.
That’s some real shit 💀 now I know what water receding looks like, without first hand experience

Remember: when the water recedes that fast...it's time to run for the hills!
You can literally see how the wave builds up while its receding
the quicker it recedes the quicker you need to run...

That final shot the fisherman got really showcased the sheer volume of water that I couldn't imagine from the distant scenes. At the beginning there seemed to be one upturned boat already floating in the water. Any rescue for the other boats was futile. That was terrifying.
I think that boat out in the distance is up right and under power, they might have saved theirs by jumping in and heading out of the little bay
1. Weird ass first wave
2. Water receding super fast
3. This is when you stop what you’re doing and run

Easy to say when your bread and butter isn't compromised.
If you live near the ocean, the first thing you learn is that if you see water receding like that, run. Run like the devil is on your tail.
In many places water receding like that just means an ebbing spring tide
The tide could be just out too
Run like Forrest Gump
Because it very well is, and it will come to reclaim you to the sea if you look back for even a moment to gaze upon the phenomena
@@mirror1675 no it doesnt. a tsunami will make the water recede wayyy faster than a dropping tide
Dont worry cameraman never dies

Yep. And to think I thought those things only happened in movies. To think people are actually insane in real life. Lol
@@SupernovaSpence Yes. Thank God.
Still amazes me in this day and age that people will stand there and wait for it to come.
I still never understood that either .
Normal life is too boring. People want something exciting and die for it.
I'm guessing they had no idea that it would have been that large.
They probably thought after that initial surge that the water was pulling back, but little did they know....
@@SVJMIA Wonder if it was seismic or due to a natural landslide.
So glad these people were OK, sorry others lost their lives - and communities.
EXCELLENT description, BTW. Thanks!
I thought the first part was the end but i never thought there's a bigger one coming in
You can see the exact moment everyone thought "Fuck these boats"
I hope his boss was watching, dude stuck around a bit trying to make it secure. He can use this video as to why he deserves a raise.
@@natsune09 Boss probably held the camera 😂
@@yourhonor6736 🤣🤣Absolutely
I think they were trying to sell footage they went to great lengths to create a victim , took no time for the one guy to run down and hand him a rope , and take off up the hill ! this video by this company pays for these types of of videos . First shown on 4/9 then when I complained to u tube . They showed it again on the rights side of video and put it happen on 4/15 . Well dose not take a scientist to know it’s the same video .
Boss: _You're a good swimmer. You could've stayed a bit. Take that as a lesson on your future employment path. 'cause you're fired._
The way the wave creeps up around the corner is both terrifying and awesome
That ws still lucky they sort of saw it coming. Imagine if it hit just straight in front of them
And once again, the cameramen survived. Bravo
Terrifying, probably financially devastating... I'm just glad these guys got out with their lives
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who watched this and was thinking “that water is receding, the fuck are you doing? RUN!”
Wait, I have to get my fishing pole.
When it goes back it means its about to blast back?
title says 'tsunami blahblahblah' and u r really glad u were thinking “that water is receding, the fuck are you doing? RUN!” wow ... u must be a very smart man.
i want u in the same situation like these fishermen and i want to know what ur brains then doin for a heck of a performance.
@BabbyThor I see I see, thank you
Yeah I’ve seen enough movies to know if the water goes back that fast that you need to get the fuck out of there ASAP.
Either they didn’t know what the signs of a tsunami are or they panicked because of trying to save their boats and forgot. A crying shame either way. I hope they all survived.
saving their boats is saving their way they make a living. they were trying to save their lives
If u had read the description you might know...
If they died, how was this video made? Wouldn't the camera go out to sea?
They survived luckily but others were not so lucky
What happened to the people in their homes?
Is there any way we can help?
The power of nature, all of a sudden it's there, shocking but a great capture of that enormous force, glad they were able to escape
Ima just keep recording cuz yk the camera man never dies 😂😂
I'm just surprised they didn't know what was going to happen. They looked like they work around the ocean.
They may not have known it would be that fast or that big. Or maybe the first wave had already hit, and they didn’t know there can be several and that the first one isn’t always the biggest.
@@evilsharkey8954 I agree. I think they might have become complacent about wave size considering that you can see debris already and the water-line up the rocks there, so it's likely that they thought that the worst was over and that the waves would get smaller, when the reality is, sometimes the biggest waves are still out there. A rocky terrain like that, I can only imagine just how much those waves would have been growing due to it.
Looks like they knew what was happening, but they were trying to make sure their boat (most likely their source of income) doesn’t just disappear in the ocean.
It's extremely rare
That's not a tsunami by all means lol. They knew it it just low and then high tide. But they did get some views on the title
I'm relieved they all survived but when that water sucked back in that far, that fast... they just stood and watched. RUN, PEOPLE!
A big sign that shit is about to go down!
@@giovanniinnavoig5422 - and we’ve learned from movies that when you run away from stuff don’t keep looking back over your shoulder! Thanks movies 😀
They, being fishermen, should have known that water being sucked out that fast was a major sign of tsunami! What possessed them to just stand there gawking?
@@amypetra5021 Probably because their minds couldn’t believe it was happening right where they live.
I too am glad they are okay but I can't believe fisherman wouldn't know the telltale signs of a tsunami. So irresponsible
Thanks RUclips, precisely the video I wanted to watch before bed...
Even a cameraman about to have a massive asthma attack while apparently not knowing the dangers of a tsunami still manages to survive ❤❤❤
When the water recedes, you drop everything you’re doing and you run. Don’t stop. Don’t turn back. Just _run._
Nah. Keep filming. I love this footage.
@@HarryBalzak fair enough lol
cringe af comment btw that camera man dumb to just wait there. should have ran away from the start
Cringe
@Christopher Oliver
I thought that he hiked up on the higher ground and was winded making Darth Vader noise.
Scary to think that in this situation, tripping on a rock and losing your balance while running away, could mean death
Yeah also they could just not stand so close to the situation and not wait until the last second to run away.
@@CGBalla1014 yeah they weren’t very smart- maybe they were too used to a cushy life? They had fancier (not better imo) coats than I could ever hope to own
@@CGBalla1014 wow they really did wait until the last second- even the camera man after he saw what was happening
@@user-pe2yx9kt4e because they had no idea what was going to happen. A few waves dont normally turn into a tsunami.
Or choke on a piece of gum
Crazy that this is just a "small" tsunami despite it looking absolutely huge, it is still nothing in comparisons to the ones that hit Japan in 2011 (132ft in some areas) and the ones that struck countries in the Indian Ocean (167 ft in Sumatra). Terrifying to think how horrifying that must've been to experience!
Its also deceiving because that little cove actually amplifies it right there.
The tsunami wave didn't break at 130 ft in japan or in Sumatra. Only time that will happen is asteroids, underwater landslides and giant underwater nukes
@@J_h_420 how do you know it didnt break at 130ft?
I think he used his internet dick, a direct reflection of the size of his own ego. @@Liam-ls4vt
@@J_h_420there was a tsunami in Alaska that was 1700’ tall if I remember correctly
That really IS a run for your life moment. I suspect they were different people after it all calmed down.
"Look, the watier is receding, what's happening?"
"Don't know, let's stand here and see what happens."
It looks like they were just concerned about losing the boats. They didn't stop to ask themselves what the water receding might lead to.
When you see water recede, run till you bleed.
Remember, knowing the signs of a tsunami is knowledge and not common sense.
It could be knowledge they didn't have.
But even if they did, when you see something in trouble, like your boat, you tend to default to common sense mode and not knowledge mode.
Please try to understand what a boat means to the people on a remote island up there. They have no public transport as we know it. There is probably one or two helicopters and maybe a (tourist)boat every week in summer.
They also rely heavily on the fishing (as hunting becomes more and more difficult as the ice cover of the sea recedes).
The people there are not stupid and know the dangers of tsunamis. Even spinning icebergs or glacier break-off can trigger them.
But sometimes decisions have to be made quickly...
@@ASmallGreenBean dude it's Greenland not some tribal island. they were acting like complete idiots putting their lives on the line for some damn boats
When the first wave came in I was thinking that’s not too bad. Then the water REALLY went out and that last wave came in with a vengeance.
when it began to get cool it was just this pisshead running
I was watching the video thinking to myself, "what tsunami"? Until around the 1:20 mark, when the water started going out.
My man was out there testing that cameraman immortality.
To see the ocean seething like that, over that rocky outcrop on the left side of the screen, you can watch it just heave upward just before the swell comes over them, so quickly. That is terrifying.
I realized that the cameraman was a person when he also started running
Breathing gave it away
The breathing
What?
And the heavy breathing wasn't a clue?
You know some people watch with their volume off? I know it's a niche thing but I didnt hear the breathing either cause I had volume off
1:20 is usually the moment you wake up in a nightmare.
Funny u commenting like that... I have a recurring nightmare that I'm running away from a tidal wave - these poor guys, that tsunami wave was so INSIDIOUS
It’s like that in real life too. You know when it gets too worse, you wake up. Because this life is a dream. So no One should worry too much about getting sick or dying.
This life is a play. Like in theaters. And it’s the best show I’ve ever seen
You know it really feels like you exist
Chris ~ exactly... in my nightmare I'm running away from a tidal wave with other people but i KNOW that I will escape, and frankly I don't care about the others... just like in real life if we all really want to admit this; like, when it's bad when we're sick but boy is it nice when we begin to feel better... like, nobody actually BELIEVES they're going to die but sometimes we get so curious about it that the thought is interesting
Everyone I know has had the tsunami dream.... I feel like it’s something that happened and it’s stuck in the human subconscious.
@@michellet7013 hi that's interesting about this dream - thought I was the only one

Nooo! full amazing. The best tsunami video I have seen
Confirmed, the cameraman broke a world record of 100 meters in a rise of 40 degrees.
The fact that they're fisherman who definitely has more experience about sea and yet didn't run away as soon as the water is receding are kinda .. strange
Usally loosing a boat etc on these islands can be devastating as they might not have a lot of money thats why they risk it

It amazes me how people will just stand and watch until it's too late.
It's mesmerizing but damn run fool!
survival of the fittest at its finest
I doubt he'd expect it to get so big. Besides, they were trying to save their boats - the fundament of their income as fishermen. They didn't stand there for fun.
Have you ever seen a cameraman die?
The power of the ocean is terrifying and awe-inspiring at the same time
Nature should always be respected.
It is a Ocean planet, when working on it, this is normal.
lol. you have no idea...
Here we see the ever rare “cameraman almost dies”.
Remember guys if you ever in this situation grab your phone and start recording, cameraman never dies.
Seeing that water pull back towards the ocean so much and so fast was a BAD sign.
In Japan there is a really old stone statue build way high up on a hill, right on it there's an engraving that clearly says that nothing should be built below the stone. The people there didn't seem to take it seriously.
Can you provide a source? Sounds like an interesting read
My wife's Japanese she said the same thing about old stones marking historic tsunami locations high points
@@adrianbernard2409 wow u guys this is interesting to learn
@@Scarlet-Enchantress There’s actually quite a few stone tablets dotted around the coast of Japan, they were erected by past generations to warn future generations of tsunamis and how dangerous they really are. As a country that is ravaged by tsunamis and earthquakes, it’s no wonder past generations from more than 600 years ago feared for the lives of their descendants. Here are some inscription translations:
"High dwellings are the peace and harmony of our descendants.”
“Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis. Do not build any homes below this point.” “
Always be prepared for unexpected tsunamis. Choose life over your possessions and valuables."
“If an earthquake comes, beware of tsunamis."
These very stones saved the lives of those living in the village of Aneyoshi during the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan. Back in 1933, a tsunami had hit the village and destroyed it, leaving only four survivors - a stone was when erected in memory of those who died and also served as a warning for future generations.
Many people may think the warnings on these stones are obvious and shouldn’t have to be explained, but according to modern research it can take up to three generations for people to forget about a disaster. It’s part of the reason why many experts are trying to figure out a way to explain to future generations what radioactive material is and the dangers of it in the event that they don’t know. What we know as the symbols for biohazards and radioactive material can one day end up misinterpreted by future generations. So hopefully through discussion and careful organisation, we’re able to help future generations remember past disasters and dangers so that they don’t repeat history.
@@caramellpanda thank you for taking the time to write all this. I agree with you; especially with what happened in Chernobyl, we need to make sure that history doesn’t repeat itself and those who’s suffered for us to learn the knowledge we have now didn’t do so in vain
Ok, the camera man is a mouth breather. Sounds like he was running but he’s not.
I was never taught the signs of a tsunami. Thank you RUclips for suggesting this, and the others I’ve watched in horror.
I learned about them from a kids novel I read when I was like 9. Scared the shit out of me then and I’ve never forgot the lesson.
