looking at the nippon tsunami ... we'd all be fucked if --->
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbre_Vieja ... oh boy, that small island has some lethal potential :Oh crap if that landslide happens kiss your ass goodbye :( fiction today - real horror tomorrow?
Code:
during a future unascertained eruption,
the western half of the Cumbre Vieja -
approximately 500 km3 (5 x 1011 m3) with an
estimated mass 1.5 x 1015 kg, will
catastrophically fail in a massive gravitational
landslide and enter the Atlantic Ocean
generating a so called "mega-tsunami." The debris
will continue to travel - as a debris flow,
along the ocean floor. Computer modelling indicates
that the resulting initial wave may
attain a local amplitude (height) in excess of 600 metres
(1,969 ft) and an initial peak to
peak height that approximates to 2 kilometres (1 mi),
and travel at about 1,000 kilometres
per hour (621 mph)
but my heart is with the japanese these days :thumbsup
