Amazingly, two people (a father and son who were out fishing that day) survived the last tsunami by riding the top of it.
yes they somehow survived!
Cool
Reminds me of the perfect storm😅
@@markalexisguavez953 What movie? This was an event that actually happened and a father and son really did survive.
Yes, a father and son really did do that. I remember watching a documentary on it. This rare event is known as “mega tsunami.” Taller than a sky scraper
Me at 3am: I should probably get some sleep
My brain at 3am: I wonder what the biggest tsunami looks like
This happened to me too bro
This is me right now.😂
It’s currently 2am now I’m thinking that
Ikrr
tsunami’s are one of my biggest fears, especially since i freak out when i go underwater. i think it would be terrifying to see a giant wall of water coming straight for you.
Yeah totally. Walls of water sound scares me. 🌊🤦
@@halColombo if it was a tsunami yea😂😂
I surf and when there are really big sets of waves coming it can make you drop your heart in to your legs
Me too!!!
im scaredof tsunamis too but i think that they are interesting I love the ocean😃😮💨
It’s crazy how water is vital to all sorts of life but is also the most destructive element and can wipe out anything
Ikr! The fact that I’m now scared to go to the lake, and the beach that is far from us. Us living in the middle of Texas, I got scared thinking of one ever occurred we’d be swept away in out sleep, just to wake up looking at our dead body.
look what's carved into the tree at 7:47. Freakyy
water is so powerful you can drown on 1 or 2 sips of water
🙄 That's true of nearly everything in existence.
Everything on Earth relies on water. Everything starts with water, the saying 'just add water' applies to all life on Earth. If we bring moon dust back to Earth, and add water, plants grow in it. Water is the main one, life can evolve to breath atmospheres other than oxygen rich, life in the case of many Troglobites, which have evolved and adapted to breathe the different gasses in the cave, so oxygen may not be SO important. Oxygen can vary in atmospheres capable of supporting life, but without H20, not a lot seems possible. Maybe aliens will prove otherwise, we shall have to see about that if they're ever brave enough to visit us.
The ocean is honestly terrifying. Not only the things in it but the way it can easily take you away. Whether that be riptide, tsunamis, or just drowning, the ocean is nothing to just act casually around.
At least you didn't say megalodon like half of the idiots I run into lol. I agree the ocean is pretty scary but we can't live without it. And if you think about it we never would have been born without it either.
I believe all things in existance can exist because they have a yin and a yang attached to them. The ocean is the bringer of life, but you better never make the mistake of disrespecting it once because it is a notoriously unforgiving giver lol
Don’t forget the animals😓Australia be good at remembering that lol
The same could be said of many things, eg. The Sun.
@@itzrayha2621 Then why didn't everybody die 500 years ago? No Sun flare has killed life on Earth in the billions of years of life's existence.
My grandmother is in her mid 70s, and I honestly think she has ptsd when it came to mount rainier erupting. She was working for Weyerhaeuser, she Worked a lot with what was going on with the mountain/volcano. After it erupted she refused to ever live in the valleys near it again. She made us move up into the mountains, in case something similar happened again.
Well then your grandma is one of the rare intelligent people that decided to not to continue living near a damn active volcano after it erupted.... like seriously I'll never understand how people continually act shocked that an active volcano they live directly by has erupted yet again and destroyed yet again. Like just move a bit futher away people!!
Are you referring to mount st. helens? I don't recall Rainier erupting.
Yeah, it must be St. Helens. I've lived in the area my entire life (5th generation in the area) and never heard a story of Rainier erupting.
Rainer erupting would be worse than St. Helens
where are my 3am natural disaster video lads at eh ???
Lol 430am here
😂😂right here

Hahaha yup
As A Japanese person who has been living In Hokkaido my entire Life, the amount of fear in my soul watching this is terrifying
My cousin lives in Hokkaido and he begs his parents to go to somewhere else

In that 1700’ tsunami, a man and his son out fishing actually survived it by riding it all the way to the top and over as it passed!
That was the tsunami in Alaska in 1958. Two or three boats rode the wave and only one of those boats and their occupants didn’t make it when the boat capsized.
Yes i did see this on a doco. A while back . Theres boats were tossed in to trees. Pretty crazy.
No, that was the tsunami in the 1950's. It was a Man and His Son on their boat
Wow amazing!
They are very lucky.
And yes i am very glad his son also survived
That’s amazing
Around 10,000 years ago, a landslide caused a submerged shelf to break at Lake Tahoe. The water sloshed back and forth for several days, with waves more than 300 feet tall.
10,000 yrs huh? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL at least you are closer than these evolutionists! Not even 7,000 yrs yet close though!
@@sarahdavis257 Actually, 10,000 years is the low end estimate. Some experts date it to as far back as 20,000 years ago.
The age of the Earth is roughly 4.5 billion years, just fyi.
The Tsunami is my biggest fear. The scene in Interstellar nearly made my knees buckle. I'm not afraid of heights in the least, in fact, I'm a roofer. But if I stand next to something HUGE, it makes me so uncomfortable I cant move. The Tsunami is just.....terrifying.
The terrifying bit is that we all know how powerful waves are even the small ones. These are just like a ton of bricks crashing you... Brrrr
I actually thought of interstellar too!😂
Tsunamis are my worst fear, even though I dont live in a state with tunamis and oceans, it's still my fear. Basically water is my fear.
Mine is similar i don't like going underwater because I'm scared of drowning like I would never be in a submarine because if it sinks I would drown and if I exit it submerged I will die from presser.
Oceans really scare me I mean they are so vast and huge and deep you can't even see the bottom through the dark blueish water
me to
Thalassaphobia?
@@simply2579 tsunamiphobia (Fear of tsunamis) Aquaphobia (fear of water) but that too.
Many, many years ago, I remember reading a similar thing happened in Alaska as well. It was a inland bay, and a huge slide happened. There was a father and son fishing right there, they knew it was the end. To there surprise, the tsunami pick them up and carried them. They came to rest on top of the trees. If you have seen Alaska, the trees aren't small.
I saw a documentary about it on youtube.
I think it was National Geographic that made it.
Quite impressive stuff.
That was the Lituya bay Tsunami in the number 1 spot of the video.
3 boats anchored in the bay, 2 survived one didn't.
Yes, that was the Lituya Bay mega tsunami mentioned about, 1958.
They didn’t land “in the trees” you made that up, Wikipedia it and amend your comment
No this is not fact.
me who lives near a beach 💀
lol me to but in France lol
Same😅
No
Same😂😂
I live in destin Florida
Man at some point in time in the 60s in Alaska, I can only imagine seeing a wave 1720 feet high. Thats gotta be the scariest thing anyones ever seen, or will ever see. 5 people who were unlucky enough had to see it and get crushed by it. So sad but just goes to show how powerful the ocean really is. 🤯😪
AKXCNCD😱😱😱
❤❤❤❤
I can't imagine being in a tsunami that must be horrible. Good thing I live where it doesn't have natural disasters like that
Edit: I've never got this many likes or replies before thanks 😊
When I was in Indonesia a tusami happened far away and earthquake happened when I was in hotel with my parents. You won’t believe what happened. We where in another hotel then a very good but then in the last day when I took a picture in balcony. Later in the plane I saw a volcano 🌋 ! I was like R.I.P.

That’s funni
._. Why this message same as the video 'how to survive a horror film' on how to survive channel lololol bruh
Lol
All these waves makes me realize I need to learn how to surf 🏄🏿♂ Great video👍👍
I was a little surprised by this list. I didn't realize the tsunami created by the chicxulub impact to be *just* 100m high (I seem to recall older guesses put it at 1000-3000m). I also recall learning somewhere that the Mediterranean Sea (and perhaps the Black Sea) were created or expanded greatly when a natural barrier failed and caused a waterfall I can only imagine. Would this not have created a type of mega tsunami? Or when melting glacial ice released massive lakes of previous accumulated melt water during the ice age? I've hear that the an Azores landslide will possibly cause a devastating mega tsunami. Frightening as hell, but also so damn interesting.
The asteroid tsunami was quite small in reality as the depth of the ocean it collided with was quite shallow. A tsunami can only be as high as the depth of water it is created in.
@@stevenrogan3675 The tsunami from that event is estimated to be over 1500 meters in height. The video is wrong.
it was spoken into existence
It's all hypothetical
@@suburbanhobbyist2752mhm I think so too
The scary thing about Tsunami's are the fact that they not just a 'Wave' of water, it's not just a 'Wall' of water, a Tsunami is the sudden displacement a large volume of water before it settles,.... A landslide falls into a lake? that water has to go somewhere, And when an Earthquake occurs, one tectonic plate rises, and that's alot of water that's being pushed SOMEWHERE.
@Eric Rerrud11 hmm I think you're right tornadoes are scary very scary.
@Eric Rerrud11 I'd say a super volcano erupting is the scariest personally, it would fuck with the weather if it's one near an ocean guaranteed tsunamis aswell, in my opinion they're the worst natural thing other then something coming from space and hitting earth
@Eric Rerrud11 yeah big ass asteroids are worse I agree but I said at the bottom apart from anything from space, I'm sure I read somewhere that when that asteroid that wiped the dinos out also caused volcanoes and super volcanoes to erupt too, which causes tsunamis, some knock on affect a big asteroid would have for sure
No its a 20 earth quake and later a 2500 feet tsunami
Oh hell there you are again lol, I remember seeing you in another video comment section
I live in a tsunami zone in BC in a town tsunami-free for 70 years now, and tsunamis are by a whole order of magnitude the least-survivable natural disaster if you find yourself in one. Lots of people can tell you about surviving a massive earthquake or volcanic eruption or Cat-5 storm. Absolutely nobody has ever swam their way out of a sudden river full of cars, trees and entire neighbourhoods to talk about it.
It's rare but some have. Stories in Japan 2011 tsunami washed people away. One carried to sea on a roof lived. A hotel owner in Japan caught up near high ground was swept toward a high building with patio she was able to get to surface of water and scramble over floating cars. But 99% of time if people are caught up in the wave of water they drown or are crushed. Terrible
Hi from the South Island! Thankfully where I am we’re fairly protected by Washington (not impossible but considered low risk) but every time I drive out to the true west coast (Port Renfrew, Tofino, Uculet etc) the thought of a tsunami and how devastating it would be on those communities always crosses my mind
It would be unlikely but some people have been caught up in it and lived. Not directly hit by the wave but the flow after (or something similar, being in a huge rushing flow of water carrying trees and rocks and whatnot)
I watched a video on Mt St Helen eruption, this couple got caught in the water/mud flow holding onto trees, I think the wife’s hand got crushed by one. Very very lucky they survived
^after part of the mountain collapses into the lake
Born in Port Alberni, survived tsunami 😎
In 1977-78 I was serving aboard the USCGC Planetree homeported in Juneau, Alaska. Twice, we made the trip to Kodiak where the marks of the 1964 Tsunami were recorded on the buildings. We passed Lituya Bay once on a rescue mission and anchored save out of the storm in Icy Bay near the Columbia Glacier. The sailboat Aires, which we had rescued was tied up on our starboard side aned her crew recovering from hypothermia, enjoying what hospitality we could give. Lituya Bay was well-known to us and definitely not a place to anchor or tarry. The Tlingit Tribe recorded the rumblings and devastation wrought there many centuries before any white folks arrived. There was a story that there were several fishing trawlers anchored the night of the big wave. Only one made it out of the bay that night, surfing a 200 foot wave over the spit of land that covers the seaward side of the bay.
For the first one, the Asteroide has caused a 5km high wave (according to other sources and also way more realistic than just 100m).
"If there is one natural disaster no one wants to experience, it would have to be a tsunami."
Oh wow. He is so right. I actually want experience earthquakes, tornadoes, volcano eruptions, and hurricanes, but not tsunamis. How did he know?
Same lol
He’s just a genius
Wow🤤🤤😖

Operation Tomodachi "Friend" was held here in Japan back in March 2011 just North of Tokyo, i was there helping out with my US Navy counterparts. It was one of the worst things I have ever seen. It broke my heart and even tried to hold my tears as ive seen even 5yr olds crying for their losts parents/siblings. Even until now, it was said that these types of tsunamis occur once every 200yrs. As of now, even seawalls are being constructed as high as 5 meters in some areas. Recovery takes years however, in some cases the spirits of some people continues to grow. Stay safe out there everyone. Hello from Saga, Japan.🙏🗾😊
Thx for sharing.. i cant imagine the devastation u witnessed.. such a terrible thing to happen..
We were living in Misawa back when that happened. Luckily we were far enough inland that the wave that hit us didn't reach, but those closer to the coast weren't so lucky. After we found out what happened we would go out every day and drive around until we found someone that needed help. We'd help people try to salvage things from their homes if possible, clear out debris... it was crazy how much was destroyed, and that's not even talking about what you'd see once they started trips down to Sendai and surrounding areas.
...15 foot seawalls aren't going to stop something like that...
yes, i was living in the i guess u could say 'state' next to the state where it started. I was still tiny and my family had to evacuate to australia for like 6 months. i don't remember it cuz i was young but even then, im traumatised of what i heared.
I know that one percent of people will be watching this but if you see this god bless you and have a good day
I really enjoy watching you're videos
I lived in Pasadena, California at the time of the Mt. St. Helen's eruption. There was ash on everyone's houses and cars for days. It's just over 1000 miles distant.
I was living in LaMirada. You speak facts!
I lived in Ohio..it finally made it there.
@@ronvosick8253 Wow! I remember that it was all over the news, as well as our cars and houses.😁
Seriously, though, it was a very serious natural disaster. I always think about the photographer that died up on the mountain. He knew he was going to die and there was nothing he could do about it. The loss of life was staggering from the natural world: trees in the millions and every kind of woodland creature in their hundreds of thousands. But this is nature's way.
Take care, my friend.
@@billminyard2846 It was mind-blowing. I guess the ash ended up going around the world, visibly about half way. Now, the trees and animal life has recovered but I remember that blown out mountain and millions of leveled and charred trees. I know hundreds of thousands of animals died. So sad. And there were human casualties. I remember the man who was up there documenting what was happening, taking photographs. His camera was the only thing that survived, may he rest in peace. The most chilling thing was when it erupted, he knew he was going to die and there was nothing he can do about it. Natural disasters put it in perspective.
Take care, my friend!
You should have seen the highway going to Moses Lake. The ash was as tall as me.
Ancient Historian here. You should discuss the explosion of the Island of Thera (Santorini) and the wall of water that all but wiped out the Minoans on Crete and sent a wall of water that they believe was taller than the Empire State Building to Greece around 1600 BCE.
Most people don't know that even existed so they don't know to discuss it. I would like to see some information on that too. They think the Santorini volcano might have even caused some of the natural disasters talked about on The Exodus in the Bible.
@@BJETNT Exodus was not real, watch biblical scholar Francesca Stavrakopoulou explain in detail.
Yup... that was a monster tsunami alright but, no measurements aeon ago just, a legend as a record.
I believe the Lost City of Atlantis sunk prior to that catastrophe.
The Lituya bay tsunami is always incorrectly reported as the highest wave ever. The 1,720 feet wave was not a wave, it was a splash. Yes, it was a huge splash but the actual wave that went down the bay was closer to 100 feet high.
Finally somebody who actually did there research😊
I live in Switzerland and I luckily dont have to worry about Tsunamis 🌊
I knew these would be legends, but I still had hope I'd see actual footage... lol
Not legends...legends are basically old tall tales, no pun intended.
These events actually occured, albeit before the tech revolution we live in today.
There is only a handful of people have seen a wave the size of a skyscraper and it was a an actual tsunami but there is no footage. Just there testimony.
ruclips.net/video/jlbRSPvIUms/видео.html actual footage of tsunami i experienced
And just like that the video was stopped lol
@@crunchypastries713 bruh u frickin lier that is no video about a tsunami
Mega tsunami’s can also be created by massive volcanic eruptions. Krakatoa, Santorini, and Mount Saint Helens all created mega tsunamis during eruptions
Santorini's tsunami went over Crete, literally over it and settled on Egypt's shores.
Came here to discuss the explosion of the Island of Thera (Santorini) and the wall of water that all but wiped out the Minoans on Crete and sent a wall of water that they believe was taller than the Empire State Building to Greece.
@@catwilliams7538 it didn’t wipe them out immediately but it basically set the downfall of the Minoan’s in motion since they were conquered a few decades after the eruption
@@NickYngveSamios it was definitely one of the larger mega tsunamis to be triggered by a massive eruption
@@jakealter5504 yeah one can only imagine how terrifying it should have been for Cretans to see a massive wall of water coming towards them and I don't even mention the speed the wave must have had.
Similar to Latuya Bay and the Japanese landslide induced incidents, there are several incidents document in the Hawaii'an Islands due to volcanic island collapses and of course the Krakota island near obliteration during a volcanic eruption that rose over 100 meters.
tsunamis are so scary and I didn't sleep yesterday and I started to cry
I don't want to imagine a tsunami like the size of Mount everest coming at me
who Doesn't?
It would be a quick death lol
The 1958 Lituya Bay Megatsunami reached 1,720 feet in height which is taller than any other tsunami in recorded history. It was incredibly tall, about 17 times the height of the Nazare waves, the tallest waves in the world, about 12 times the height of Statue of Liberty, 10 times taller than the Niagara Falls, several hundred feet taller than the Empire State Building, taller than the Willis Tower and almost the height of One World Trade Center, just 56 feet shy. But even the tallest megatsunami that ever existed, which was known to have wiped out the dinosaurs, resulting from the Chicxulub impact crater, was significantly lower than Mount Everest. The original impact wave was about 1,500 meters (4,921 feet), almost a mile tall, traveled dozens of miles inland. Mount Everest is 8,848 meters (29,032 feet) tall, being the tallest mountain in the world, and the Himalayas extend for about 1,550 miles in Asia. Now the asteroid responsible for killing the dinosaurs, and also 90% of all the world's species at that time, was almost the size of Mount Everest. Mount Everest extends for about 12.74 miles in total from the Everest base camp to the summit. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was anywhere from 6 to 10 miles wide, which generated the destruction of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs! So it created far more damage than just the tsunamis. Yep, I would never want to see something like that coming at us during our lifetime. Even a 1,720 foot megatsunami, would prefer not to see that. Even a 100 foot Nazare wave, not looking forward to seeing that either, only observe from a safe distance, but coming anywhere close to it, hell no.
Watching this brings me back to the day I lost one of my childhood friends. The last memory I have was when I went to a youth program that use to be next to the hospital in my hometown. I remember seeing my friend sitting there with his legs up on the table & a few other acquaintances. He offered hot Cheetos but, I didn't spend much time hanging out throughout my middle school years. I think it was during my middle school years or high school when I saw that in the newspaper that he and his father or brother died in a boat accident. For me, it's hard to talk about those I've lost. I still tear up and have holes in my heart. I don't enjoy talking about these things because it hurts talking about them. At times it may seem unkind, but it's common to be that way because losing someone you loved isn't easy and we tend to avoid that emptiness.
Im sorry for your loss😪
We all have to go through loss. Wether it's a family member or a best friend. Your not alone.
I was really hoping you’d at least mention Japan’s “Orphan Tsunami” which I think was the inspiration of The Great Wave woodcut. That particular tsunami has always been a rather macabre fascination of mine…
0:11 the way the water pulls out and then roars back in with the rest of the tsunami is kinda mesmerising
ngl I'd be pissed if my sandcastle was destroyed by it...
i cant😂😂
BRO 😭
LMFAO
I’d be the camera man and be pain and push it all away
Once a girl kicked down my sand castle then when she was near water she got stung by a jelly fish washed up fell into water and drowned '-' 🤗
I never knew that the water from Spirit Lake when St Helen’s blew was considered an inland tsunami. I’ve lived an hour away my whole life and have never heard it referred to as an inland tsunami. Interesting…
Interesting I’ve never heard about that either an I have close family there we’ve been discussing la pama an all the years we heard about the possibility of a mega tsunami if the island fell etc. and they mentioned mt st helens but nothing about tsunami there an then j see your comment , so so odd lol 😂 thank everyone
I've always been interested in Mount St Helens.
@@CharitysClarity they can happen in any body of water that is large enough
@@CharitysClarity
Should they have to say it since people know that St Helens displaced the lake with a landslide. As there are things like La Pama where its confirmed that a landslide caused a tsunami before and most likely will again.
There was also that 1000 foot tsunami in an inland lake at one point.
Lituya Bay, Alaska, July 9, 1958
Its over 1,700-foot wave was the largest ever recorded for a tsunami. It inundated five square miles of land and cleared hundreds of thousands of trees. Remarkably, only two fatalities occurred.
There is a massive mistake in this video - how has it not shown up in the comments yet?! (#2 - 6:40) "...including the building of Genoa's fateful Morandi Bridge, which was a hydroelectric dam..." (???) - Mmm don't think so - it was a bridge (which collapsed in 2018, killing dozens). The dam in the video is the Vajont Dam, the construction of which and subsequent landslide occurring in 1963 as depicted. Either I'm missing something, or some audio editing needs doing!
I am so lucky I live in Sydney ❤️💕
On the last one... interesting fact two fishermen were taken by the gigantic wave and actually were transport by it and did survive ! Must had been frightenning as hell
Last time I saw spirit lake, it was full.of burned logs. You couldn't even see the water.
This is the second of your videos that has hit close to home. I have visited Chinega Island in Alaska where the last Tsunami hit. I have spoken with people that were in Chinega island when the Tsunami Hit!!!
The megatsunami that resulted from the collapse of the volcano on the eastern part of Molokai is believe to have been 2,000 or so feet high.
I'm not positive, but I think that there are a couple of potential megatsunami's in Hawaii -- one in Maui and one in Oahu.
There's a potential in the Canary Islands as well which would wipe the eastern seaboard of America off the map
This explains why I’m never living near the ocean
Come to Australia water and low tsunami risk :)
Imagine living in hawaii

@Nick AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Imagine looking up and seeing a 1750 foot wave of death coming your way.
6:40 - You're conflating two disasters into one:
the Morandi bridge was not a hydroelectric dam, it was a viaduct.
The dam where the inland tsunami happened is called Vajont.
I am extremely scared of tsunamis and I always worry about them even if I don’t live near oceans or any body of water, because of that when we have to ride the car I always think that the dark clouds from afar are tsunamis and waters will wave through buildings, but now I recovered from thinking negative, I am not scared nor worried anymore!
SAME GURL
same but my country rarely gets tsunamis
Same but I still am worried
SAMEE
I have phobia of the rain and even tsunamis😭😭
I've always been frightened of Tsunamis but this....his is crazy...I'm lucky I dont get Tsunamis where I live but I'm still scared and sorry for the people that experienced them.
I lived in Tacoma, Wa. when Mt. St. Helen's blew. First we watched a massive mushroom cloud form, then it rained ash all over everything in sight. We had nearly an inch of ash covering us, tree branches looked like they had been snowed on but it was gray ash. We were kids and we collected it and tried to sell it, along with lava rocks. That dust was around for a long time, lol.
I can’t imagine a wave 330 feet high coming towards me. Nearly the height of St. Peter’s Cathedral.
Craziest thing is I wanted to be a volcanologist as a kid and even grew up fascinated with tornados and volcanos able to recite some of the more lesser know catastrophic volcanic events. Mt. St. Helens was obviously widely known and I knew more details on it's eruption as a kid than most average joes... but only recently did I learn it caused a massive tsunami which makes no sense. I guess because of how special the side of the mountain collapsing and the intense pyroclastic flow and the aftermath. Love learning new stuff and I'm 34 now.
did you know that there are solar tornadoes on the sun and Jupiter,s great big red spot is a kind of tornado on jupiter
If you still like volcanoes now.. i recommend traveling to iceland.
The mountain is known as the walking mountain of Italy and no one should have built a dam there
Exactly.
The experience that I wouldn't wanna experience is a whirlpool and a tsunami lmao
The eruption of mt.st helens was heard all the way in the lower mainland of BC. My dad vividly remembers hearing the boom, and it shook all the windows in the house, all the way in Langley BC. Of course no one had any idea what it was until they heard the news later

I always had a fear of tsunamis. In the 1990's I was dying in hospital of pneumonia. During which I had my last tsunami dream. In it I was in a store in Australia which belonged to Alf Strewart from Home and Away. He pointed out to sea and I saw a giant nuceal explosion which caused a radioactive tsunami. I grabbed an ironing board and ran towards it. I surfed up the wave as my skin dissolved. I then woke up and started to get better.
That’s probably my worst nightmare
Luckily for you that's not the worst thing that has happened in summer bay

Think about Tsunamis is, it’s not just water…once it hits land and starts destroying buildings, vehicles trees etc…all that gets absorbed by the tsunami so if you’re inland, it’s not just water, but mud, building materials, and other debris coming towards you…..I only worked this out when seeing videos of the Boxing Day tsunami and people more inland were climbing over trees, cars, mud etc that was still moving to rescue others still trapped in vehicles ….I’m a Sri Lankan and sadly know of many villages that no longer exist…not just losing one or two family members, but entire villages wiped out…because like most countries people celebrate Boxing Day and so everyone was on holiday usually making trips to the beach etc. 😔….last time I went, the remnants of the train track by the beach was still there - looked like someone had twisted a paper clip. I know of at least one family on the train when it got washed away. The last call my friends got from their loved ones was something along the lines of we’re on the train, it’s stopped, not sure what’s going on but will call you later…..from what I understand thanks to phone records etc moments later the train, tracks and all onboard were lost.
Moral of story, if Mother Nature wanted to wipe us out, she can do…so how comes we try and kill each other with wars….surely money would be spent creating defences against stuff like this or at least helping everyone have access to better early warning systems rather than investing in guns and bombs 🤷♂️
RIP TO THOSE WHO DIED IN THE DISASTER
Amazing!! My lil sis was so confused, terreified and amazed kept also being curios
Interesting video! One thing I found hilarious is when talking about the chixulib tsunami the video said *it is estimated to have went as far inland as Chicago, Montana, or Canada*.... Canada goes farther east then the US it definitely hit Canada lol
Bruh the world haven’t been around for 66 million years 😂
Both one of my biggest fears, and most intense fascinations.
It makes me scared but also interesting how HUGE the waves are!🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
I was 8 years old and I remember it like it was earlier this morning, when I stood on my neighbor's porch and heard him say "well, there goes the camping trip this weekend". Later found out it was Mt. Saint Helens.
My son just asked, "How do they measure tsunamis?" and I was like, "THAT is an excellent question... Like, who is standing out there with the world's longest tape measure?!"
FAC
@@lakshmiguddeti6347 ... I don't know what that stands for 🤭🤷♀️
@@justkenzie it means like facts or that’s true
I think they go by the water marks on the buildings the mountains etc
When driving up from Venizio towards Cortina in the Dolomite Alps (as one does to go snow skiing etc) you pass through an area that still looks rather barren, or washed out. That's because it was washed out, totally. Didn't know it at the time but also recall seeing that dam as the road climbed out of the valley. It is huge. AFAIK no longer used but still in place...
Thanks for a great video which now joins the dots correctly.
It's generally called the Valmont Disaster. There are RUclips videos about it, like the Seconds To Disaster episode.
With tsunamis, almost drowning twice, and subnautica, I still have no idea how I don’t have thalassophobia
How are the waves measured post-incident?
measuring the waterline on the hills
You should of mentioned the fishermen and son on the boat that survived the Alaska tsunami!
Fascinating firsthand account.
I know that story. They literally caught the wave and were sitting on top of the world. The other fishing boats in Lituya Bay weren't so lucky. And historical records indicate this was only one of five tsunamis of similar height that had occurred in the bay over the last 200 years.
@@nicholasconder4703
Exactly!
THAT would make a cool movie :)
@@kissthesky40 I don't know. 90-100 minutes of boredom followed by 5 minutes of sheer terror. Rather like the Jurassic Park ride at Universal studios.
@@nicholasconder4703
Well, Clooney made A Perfect Storm about a big wave :)
I was thinking the same
Tsunami's are so notorious that there is only one universal word for it on this planet. Tsunami.
"Tidal Wave" conveys the water's action. Watch video of the 2011 earthquake wave in Japan, as it has no crest, but is a gigantic moving tide that washes inland and sweeps the countryside.
Im working on a tsunami brochure this should help a lot
Avery useful chunk of information in history
im studying for my exam but you uploaded so
I downloaded a huge loaf this morning and caused a massive tsunami...kinda startled me.
Loved the video, but I think the use of the term “tsunami” for several of these waves is inaccurate. Many, many people use the term tsunami to simply refer to huge waves, but they really are a specific type of long wavelength wave cause by shifts in the oceanic crust. This gives them IMMENSELY more energy than a regular wave, like many on this video, but a far smaller height. “Tsunami” is a Japanese word that means “wave that destroys the port.” This is a very unique wave type.
No shit.
The differentiate between Regular and mega in the beginning
Unique cannot be more or less than unique! It either is or it isn't. I just love being a pedant!!
@tsunami earthquake Dude....sorry ...non of them were tsunamis. Educate yourself.
The scene in Interstellar nearly made my knees buckle.
Everyone should be grateful they have a House and food because everyone knows they’re special❤️
Surfers: wow this is the biggest wave I've been on guys loo- oh wait it a tsunami well at least I'm riding this and staying alive
I love how I’m terrified of this video when I watch the conjuring and insidious at night and is the happiest person ever -
Fortunately the world’s largest tsunami in Lituya Bay, Alaska was localized to mainly one side of the bay. It never traveled out into the open ocean.
Do you get tsunami in your country

Me ❤😂
I was in 6th grade in Spokane WA when Mt. St. Helens blew. We got inches of ash and indoors for two weeks. I was outside when the ash began to fall and I was outside looking up as it began to fall. I have a piece of ash in my eye to this day. I can still see it.
That sounds impossible since ash would dissolve and wash away with fluid in your eyes :-/
@@Outnumberedbykidsandcats Ash is sharp and imbedded in my eye.
@@halasalready look up the definition of ash - “a powdery residue left after the burning of a substance”. Maybe English isn’t your first language and you’re getting confused between ash and something else. Ash definitely isn’t sharp and couldn’t still be in your eye after so many years. It’s possible that some kind of debris could be lodged in your eye as I had a tiny sliver of metal in mine from being in a metalwork shop without safety goggles - so I believe something could get lodged there, but there is no way that it’s ash.
@@Outnumberedbykidsandcats Can you tell me where you are from? Have you been in a volcanic ash fall? Volcanic ash is very different than normal ash. We STILL have ash that you can find all over Eastern WA……………all these many years later. Volcanic ash, when wet, does not melt. So, yes……I stand by the fact that I still have a piece of volcanic ash in my eye and it can still be seen. I felt it in my eye at the time and it hurt like the dickens.
@@Outnumberedbykidsandcats I live in NorCal, and I was in 7th grade and it was so ashy here as well
I've seen a recent simulation of the impact event and I am not saying that they are right or you are wrong but the first shoreline of Mexico the mega-tsunami hit it had a height of 200m. Later hitting the North-American coast it was downgraded by 100m.
Bruh, it is now said that it would have been 3 MILES tall.
Not possible. The ocean the asteroid hit wasn’t deep enough to produce a tsunami of more than 200 metres.
I cant even imagine a 1750 ft wave that's so insane
Makes me glad to live in a landlocked city nearly a thousand miles from the nearest ocean
I have read about a tsunami in Guiness Recordbook which hit the Norwegian coust and it was 580 meter high. A big peace of new foundland drop down in the atlantic and created that hugh wave.
Imagine your just swimming in a ocean and all of a sudden one of these waves just starts flying towards you I know that's very unrealistic but that would be terrifying
If you were "swimming in a ocean" you would not even notice that a tsunami wave passed you. What was talked about in the video has absolutely nothing with tsunamis to do. It was just a display of ignorance.
Here is a blessing I hope everyone dies in old age not in a car crash or tsunami or something else god bless you all and make your dreams come true ! :)
I couldn’t imagine a 2000ft wave coming at you, stuff of nightmares
“...bringing about the ice age...”
Quietly closes video and am done.
Lmao
Right, what? The KT event of 65 million years ago brought about the Ice Age of 15,000 years ago? Quality youtube content folks... highly educational
@@AlaskaB83
You're aware that ice ages have happened throughout Earth's 4 billion year history?
The KT almost certainly caused an ice age due to the volume of material the impact threw into the atmosphere blocking sun light from hitting the surface.
So I doubt he was referring to the most recent ice age.
@@AlaskaB83 oh, you read it in a book therefore it has to be true.
@@AlaskaB83 there were several ice ages.
