tidal wave ready to wipe out entire east coast

The island of La palma is supposively a ticking bomb ready to collapse and fall into the ocean immediately bring a wave toward the us east coast and washing everything 20 miles inland. I was just watchign a discovery program on it. So what do u all think about this?

I live waaaaay on the other side of the US, but that seems scary. New York City and those other big cities would be destroyed . . . that would possibly crash our economy and government (Washington DC, I believe, is within the red zone). AND it would kill millions of people!

This is on the Discovery Channel? What time zone do you live in? I live in the Pacific time zone. Can I still catch it? I gotta see it.

I saw it last month on discovery and i live on the east coast so u probably missed it but it was real interesting.

 

It's just one guy's theory. There isn't even much scientific basis for it, other than "it might happen..."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/956280.stm

There are lots of things that "might" happen.

 

I saw this program about a year and a half ago.

Pretty scary thought, since there are presently no warning systems in NY. I don't think even 1% of its 21 million residents know about this. If the west flank of La Cumbre Vieja slides into the ocean, the consequence will be far worse than WTC.

Actually, both sides of the US are vulnerable. Whilst La Cumbre Vieja may be next to slide into the Atlantic, There is a section of Maui's south flank (I think) that's about to fall into the Pacific as well. Los Angeles is in danger as well.

 

btw I think the program was presented jointly by the BBC and the Discovery channel, and is titled "Megatsunamis"

 

Actually it's the "Big Island" Hawaii that has the potential of breaking off and falling into the ocean. The "Big Island" has a big crack that has formed on it's south western side.........Some big earth quakes in that region could make it happen.

What is the big island of hawaii? and why has no one ever heard of it.

 

Niiice. Now the Hollywood directors have some nonfiction to base their movies on.

 

Including the events in TDAT. Although half of the climatologists says its impossible, the other half says its possible. Although one thing is for certain, that superstorm wont take two or three days to develop

The "Big" island is called Hawaii and everyone who lives in Hawaii or has travelled to to Hawaii for vacation may be aware of this huge crack on the "Big" island. Big chunks of the islands have broke off in the pre-historic past and have caused big super-mega tital waves.

Uhm, I think you guys mean tsunami or "seismic wave" (a wave generated by seismic activity), not tidal wave. Yeah, I know I'm being a bit picky, but the term "tidal wave" gets abused a hang of a lot these days.

 

No actually I mean "Tital Wave"........If a large amount of land breaks off from one of the islands of Hawaii (It has happened in prehistoric times) and plunges into the ocean, it will displace a huge amount of water, thus creating a monsterous wave that will move across the ocean as tital waves do and when it hits any shore line in it's path, becomes a monster tital wave........

I stand corrected.

 

Yikes. I live in LA. I hope Hawaii doesn't destabilize or stuff like that.

 

The "crack" that is currently on the Big Island of Hawaii is showing signs of getting wider and longer. Someday the stress from the huge mass on the ocean side of the "crack" will give way and a large portion of Hawaii's south western side will plunge into the ocean creating a monsterous mega tital wave that will travel across the pacific and look out when it hit's the shorelines of other islands in the pacific, Japan, and/or wherever. It's happened before in prehistoric times and it will happen again someday. Who knows when? Your guess is as good as mine!

Meatsunamis, supervolcanoes, hypernovae, HYPERCANES!

lmao. The only name i seem to tolerate is hypercanes.

 

ahh whatever we need a good tidal wave to take out some of the population anywayz. Earth is way over populated.

 

lmao! I always thought that SARS was a man made virus and someone planted it in china because of rapid population growth.
