The two events in Norway are quite unique since they are both caused by mountain rockslides. There are one more in focus in Åkneset, which can make some trouble in the future. The movie "The wave" is based on that event.
Boxing day didn't reach no more 30 meters 35 tops. You can hear people talk about a 100 ft wave and 30 meters is like what 98 ft something like that? 35 obviously not much over 100ft which fits what people say they saw. Japan on the other hand was documentary and they even marked some areas to show how high the water got. There's another documentary on Japan called the mystery of the 40 meter wave. Boxing day was worse in when compared to a death count because a bunch of dumb asses chose to go down the beach further as the water got sucked out or chose to record and not run until a huge wave was about to hit them and also they weren't prepared and didn't know. Well some did. But that's more of the reason it was so deadly not just the tsunami. Japan on the other hand knew, was prepared and still got beyond hammered. But because they knew and were prepared not as many people died. But destruction was worse then boxing day, wave was bigger, water traveled further inland and that water was going over 100 mph is some places. If I recall right the plates the shifted or whatever was deeper then in Indonesia. Japan trench plates shifted like 164 ft or something like that. 20 mins later waves hit. Indonesia had a little bit of time if I recall right and I'm not sure but I don't think it was all the close to what's called the epic center or something like that when Japan had it happen almost right on it's door step.
I was in the US Coast Guard at the Kodiak Air Station when the 1964 "Good Friday" Earthquake and Tsunami hit . There were three big waves that hit the air station and the town .
thank god for the internet. now when people see the shoreline receding they know to head for higher ground. it will undoubtedly save thousands of lives!
@@impossiblespinningball7456 Having seen other video they filmed from inside the house, they had every opportunity to go and untie the dog and chose not to. Apparently filming was more important.
To the contrary, my thought is how big we are …not just by our nature as humans with a mind, body and eternal spirit, but also in the extensive ways in which we have mastered this tumultuous planet, albeit the occasional eruptions which remind us that God’s creation is both beautiful and powerful.
This stuff makes my skin crawl , I just sit here and imagine what it would look like and feel like seeing something coming that you know u won’t live through
The maps and graphics help visualize the vast range waves traveled. Some of the highest of the waves are impossible to comprehend. Nice job National Geographic 👍🏼
..earthquake..landslide..& rose sea waves..even in lakes! Did you know the Great Lakes have an incredible number of sunken ships? I wanted to know why, & here it is.
I’m quite surprised you haven’t mentioned the 1st November 1755 Lisbon Earthquake and Tsunami, which hot only destroyed Lisbon but the Tsunami buried half of the city of Cadiz in Southern Spain but the wave continues towards the straits of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea.
Maybe it’s about the 20th century or 21st century I mean because then we can start listing all the different things that have happened to the Earth since the beginning of time and we have a seven hour video

I think the 1752 Portugal tsunami should have been mentioned. If you visit Lisbon today you will notice that at sea level there is no building older than 1752.

There was a tsunami in Lituya Bay where people were present in 1958. 2 boats were at anchor in the bay. One was a father and son pair on a fishing trip. I saw a documentary where the son recounted the events, he and his dad survived. Their anchor chain snapped and their boat was carried out onto the Gulf of Alaska. The other boat didn't make it and were much closer to the head of the bay. The slopes along the bay had their tree coverage completely wiped off. Studies after the event showed this is a recurring event with several sets of trees of varying ages going up the hillsides, the oldest being highest on the hills.
found the video. and I was mistaken, 3 boats in the bay. th-cam.com/video/P6gRZhmChw0/w-d-xo.html 11:34 long video about this event, from the voyages of Tony Fleming, founder of Fleming Yachts on "Venture" hull #1 of the Fleming 65
Jacqui Greenlees.... I vividly remember seeing that documentary and hearing the son describe the event from his recollection. That wave sounded humungous. I really thought I alone knew of that incident. Be blessed.
Good evening, the tsunami of 1958 in Alaska was seen and immediately by two fishermen father and son who told of its enormous size. Thanks for the nice video
The Japan 2011 Tsunami was a lot bigger than the Greenland event. The estimates that the waves reached 38 to 40.5 meters high. That is about 125 feet. And was bigger than the 2004 boxing day tusnami and this was bigger than the Greenland event to, so I don't know if I'm a fan of this video because some of the details aren't totally accurate.
It was a tactic used by vikings to preserve their find. No one would want to go to Iceland if the name implied ice. Vice versa for Greenland. No one has bothered to correct it though.
Main thing I think of when I watch these are stray dogs and homeless people... They have nowhere to go...nowhere to hide...All they can do is run...But its not enough...
I remember as a 5th grader living in Missoula, Montana my mom and I was walking to store to buy valentine's card for school when piles of ashes was falling everywhere. My mom and I didn't know what it was and I remember it was as high as 3-5feet high , at the time we thought it was dirt ( my mom didn't speak English or little of it only ) years later as a teen I finally realized it was ashes from mt saint Helen .
I lived in Oregon when Mt. Saint Helens erupted, about 200 miles away from the volcano, but the sticky ash that stuck to our vehicle parked in the driveway was less than 1/16th of an inch thick.
@@mockingbird3099 that's probably because you didn't live down wind of the volcano and montana was probably directly down wind. btw @may it was probably closer to 3-5 inches not 3-5 feet.
As an Albertan. Waterton Lakes National Park bordering Montana had a noticable layer of ash covering the whole area in June 1980, I was 19 . When we swung the golf club a puff of ash went in the air.
I LIVED IN N.Y.C., I REMEMBERED 1 DAY I WOKE UP TO WASH UP & I FELT A RUMBLING & THE THINGS ON TOP OF MY DRESSER WAS JUMPING UP & DOWN. IT FELT LIKE A EARTHQUAKE. SOMETHING CAME ON THE NEWS ABOUT IT BUT I DIDN'T PAY IT NO MIND. YEARS LATER I FOUND OUT THE RUMBLING THAT I FELT WAS THE MT. SAINT HELEN ERUPTION. IT IS AMAZING THAT YOU WOULD FEEL AN ERUPTION FROM WASHINGTON, IN N.Y.C. ITS JUST INCREDIBLE THE FORCES THAT CAN BE UNLEASHED BY THIS PLANET. ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
They have a place in Anchorage, that hasn’t been touched since the earthquake of 1964. I lived in Alaska 7 years later. They called this place earthquake park. I have been to Seward and I am sure it’s nothing like it used to be. It’s a drive thru town, except for a gas station where you can buy sandwiches But I left in late 71 , who knows what it’s like now. It was a fishing port/ town. (Sleepy)
Near the Krakatoa eruption was a ship. Then captain turned the vessel around and headed for the eruption he ordered both anchors to be dropped, had himself tied to the wheel ordered everyone below and rode it out. Apparently it was over a 150 feet high. They all survived.
@@Puschit1 I’d imagine so that they didn’t get swept with the wave, similar to how boats anchor themselves in coves when tropical storms blow through. The idea is to keep the anchor loose (so they can handle the wave height, but there in case they get too far).
@4:30 This is NOT the Indonesian tsunami, it is a bother view of the Japanese Tsunami you already mentioned. The evergreen/pine trees in the vid do not grow in Indonesia. The other very glaring error was at 11:35 in the vid the you stated the Unsen Tsunami was the result of tidal action. And, at the same time, you were saying it was caused by a landslide. Tsunamis are NOT TIDAL WAVES. Tidal waves (or tidal bores) are caused by tidal action and are rarely deadly because they are well known and everyone simply avoids them. it takes a really dumb person to be killed by a tidal wave. Otherwise, a nice collection...
In the 1950s to 1970s tidal wave was the name for the Japanese word tsunami. I do not remember the use of the word once in the news during the 1964 Alaskan quake and its attendant tsunamis that hit Crescent City, California. We had family in Anchorage at the time and could not call them. It was watched as much as possible, but there were no 24 hour news channels then. We finally received a collect phone call from an Army base where my uncle and his family were being sheltered. Charges were accepted.
@@jimaanders7527 Actually, they were not. The COMMON name was 'tidal wave', but scientists and engineers have ALWAYS called them 'tsunamis' and have been arguing with media news sources, who were the source of the misnomer., seemingly forever. A tidal wave is EXACTLY that, a wave caused by the tides and are forecast with 100% accuracy. Also known as a 'tidal bore'.
I was born the month after Lituya Bay's tsunami. I have always had an instinctive fear of giant waves, and as a child, often woke my parents with screaming nightmares of giant waves. Years later, I'd go through hypnotic regression because the nightmares were troubling my wife. Apparently, I was one of the five who died in that event. Its just an anecdote, but I offer it for what it is.
It helped me to understand it. I still have the fear, but it doesn't dominate my thoughts for days as it used to. The verification for me, that life goes on after death has been FAR MORE profound.
There were fishing boats at Latoya Bay, Alaska at the time. As far as I recall, a man and his son survived with their fishing boat. The others were lost to the tsunami…
I was almost out of highschool for the summer when mt st helen blew…..I live in west michigan and we had ash on cars a couple days after she blew, unreal!
Money money money money...what will money do when thousands of people dies because of what men thinks the cost of..... life means not worth compared of money ..!!! Those people are not suppose to be the ones to take decisions...they are irresponsable!!!!
The tsunami of Japan reached maximum height of 40.5 meters that's 132 feet. The tsunami of Indonesia also reached 40 meters in some places, absolutely terrifying.
Good video and appreciated seeing footage I've never seen before. But photoshopping the height of waves in a couple of photos is totally unnecessary - you do not need to exaggerate what a tsunami looks like as people will believe it.
Their was really no choice to reuse the Vajont dam. The water was 700 feet deep behind it and when the mountain slid into the water it basically eliminated all the water. The water had to go somewhere and that is what caused the wave over the dam that flooded downstream. There was not much space left to hold water anymore....................
Information stated regarding the eruption of Mt. St. Helens is incorrect. So much so, it is offensive. If you are going to use these events, at least research and report accurate information.
About 20,000 people died in the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami, not 10,000. The tsunami caused about 90% of the fatalities, with the vast majority of those deaths resulting from drowning (as opposed to building collapse, trauma, etc.)
i feel these landslides will only get worse with lose of lives,world is way over populated,in areas where land is rare they build up n up.earthquakes Tsunamis landslides will happen no doubt about it.our weather is changing ,mother earth is fighting back.people who suffer most are the poor.this video is brilliant,speed and height is frightening. good work producing this work. o will be watching out for more.
Its incredible to me that our planet is basically like just another living thing.... always moving and shifting and breathing. and not just crawling, the earth shifted 160ft! thats incredible! and this one 8:40 is just amazing! the entire side of the mtn crumbles like dry sand... i ABSOLUTELY LOVE the lightning in Volcano Clouds!!!
I feel so bad for these people...! They lose everything when this happens.. Yet they are so resilient and just start over again! I respect their tenacious ways!
I watched a wave come across the bow of the U.S.S. Nimitz in the Pacific. It hit so hard, it seemed to stop that ship dead in the water. The XO was near me and started laughing as he watched me turn green from seasickness.🤣🤣🤣
Probably because they've yet to be engulfed. When videos talk of 20, 30 and 40 foot waves, people tend to picture walls of water sweeping over the land. The truth is that tsunamis. like far smaller waves, break on hitting the shore, and that height turns into length as the wave sweeps in. Away from the point where the wave broke, the water just rushes through, slowly deepening. If you've ever seen video footage of the Boxing Day Tsunami ( or have the stomach to watch the documentary made from footage taken from video cameras recovered from the debris left behind), it swiftly becomes apparent that, unlike an ordinary wave, which quickly drains back, a tsunami does not. It just keeps on coming, and coming, and coming., and the water gets deeper with each passing second. If you can see the tops of stop signs, the water has not got deep enough to drive the cameraperson away, or else, it may not be footage from the tsunami being discussed!
In portrush Ireland I was there walking along the side maseive wave put me in the sea biggest waves in Ireland for 20 years btw I was walking next to a gate
Let’s get this straight. At the beginning of the video; you called them tidal waves. What you are describing are not tidal waves. It’s tsunamis. A tidal wave is the bulge created by the gravitational pull of the moon. A tsunami occurs when a body of water is disrupted by something.
Here in the US they were referred to as tidal waves until the late 1970s. Tsunami is a later word of Japanese origin meaning 'harbor wave' and didn't have wide use in the West until the 1970s. I went to college in late 60s-early 70s and even there it wasn't used. I guess they were waiting for the WWII veterans to die off before pushing the word off on our society in general. They could have used Norwegian flodbølge instead.
Anyone notice at 2:25 to the right of the house in the middle of the shot there is a small blue roof (to the right of the van) Do you see something jump onto the blue roof than jump around on the water to the roof of the building behind the van. Right of the large blue roof. Like a giant white grasshopper.Making 90degree turns. Anyone have any ideas? Out of the shot at 2:34

A tidal wave is EXACTLY that, a wave caused by the tides and are forecast with 100% accuracy. Also known as a 'tidal bore'.
Great video thanks
I was born the month after Lituya Bay's tsunami. I have always had an instinctive fear of giant waves, and as a child, often woke my parents with screaming nightmares of giant waves. Years later, I'd go through hypnotic regression because the nightmares were troubling my wife. Apparently, I was one of the five who died in that event. Its just an anecdote, but I offer it for what it is.
How did you write this if you died
Did your nightmares subside after your hynotherapy? Did it help resolve your anxiety?
It helped me to understand it. I still have the fear, but it doesn't dominate my thoughts for days as it used to. The verification for me, that life goes on after death has been FAR MORE profound.
@@Indrid__Cold thank you for replying. I'm glad you've been helped by your therapy.
yeah 1 prson here give a shyte about you
Sounds kinda like Charlie Sheen is narrating this🤣
Who in heaven’s name is charly sheen?

There were fishing boats at Latoya Bay, Alaska at the time. As far as I recall, a man and his son survived with their fishing boat. The others were lost to the tsunami…
The video is not from Indonesia. That video was another one of Japan 2011
I was almost out of highschool for the summer when mt st helen blew…..I live in west michigan and we had ash on cars a couple days after she blew, unreal!
Money money money money...what will money do when thousands of people dies because of what men thinks the cost of..... life means not worth compared of money ..!!! Those people are not suppose to be the ones to take decisions...they are irresponsable!!!!

Thx u to
Thanks for sharing your video🤗 love your channel 💯
This video is unfortunately riddled with factual errors, omissions and incorrect terminology 🙈🙈
"north america, the state." Try again dude 😂
Lol

It's scary, I hope all is well with you
Wow, this video was amazing, certainly very frightening,,, I’m glad I don’t live near the water
great explanation of water waves
The 2011 tsunami that hit japan reached a height of 40 metres in places , now i`m not the best at maths but even i know that`s higher than 33 feet!!
The tsunami of Japan reached maximum height of 40.5 meters that's 132 feet.
The tsunami of Indonesia also reached 40 meters in some places, absolutely terrifying.
Good video and appreciated seeing footage I've never seen before. But photoshopping the height of waves in a couple of photos is totally unnecessary - you do not need to exaggerate what a tsunami looks like as people will believe it.
I love all of the disasters movies dude lol.😂 keep up the great work ok Bud lol.
true
Hello from New Jersey.
Krakatoa ( August 27,1883 ) it's the Powefull 🌋 Eruption In History!! 😣
Yeah, that tsunami wave reached 150 meters in some places.
Their was really no choice to reuse the Vajont dam. The water was 700 feet deep behind it and when the mountain slid into the water it basically eliminated all the water. The water had to go somewhere and that is what caused the wave over the dam that flooded downstream.
There was not much space left to hold water anymore....................
Todo vien ato do dar gracias
First clip: a wave 800 ft high.
Me: alright you got my attention
You had me at 200 feet.
Information stated regarding the eruption of Mt. St. Helens is incorrect. So much so, it is offensive. If you are going to use these events, at least research and report accurate information.
Pretty sure the entire video is like that.
I love this new video
About 20,000 people died in the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami, not 10,000. The tsunami caused about 90% of the fatalities, with the vast majority of those deaths resulting from drowning (as opposed to building collapse, trauma, etc.)
@5:03 That doesn't even look like a real picture? WOW
i feel these landslides will only get worse with lose of lives,world is way over populated,in areas where land is rare they build up n up.earthquakes Tsunamis landslides will happen no doubt about it.our weather is changing ,mother earth is fighting back.people who suffer most are the poor.this video is brilliant,speed and height is frightening. good work producing this work. o will be watching out for more.
Its incredible to me that our planet is basically like just another living thing.... always moving and shifting and breathing. and not just crawling, the earth shifted 160ft! thats incredible!
and this one 8:40 is just amazing! the entire side of the mtn crumbles like dry sand... i ABSOLUTELY LOVE the lightning in Volcano Clouds!!!
I feel so bad for these people...! They lose everything when this happens.. Yet they are so resilient and just start over again! I respect their tenacious ways!
You mean like Democrats ?
thank you Charlie
I watched a wave come across the bow of the U.S.S. Nimitz in the Pacific. It hit so hard, it seemed to stop that ship dead in the water. The XO was near me and started laughing as he watched me turn green from seasickness.🤣🤣🤣
The guys whos talking is the guys that make simple history
@8:50 where does this information come from?? No one, and nothing survived.
9:20 *No cost too great.*
20-30-40 foot waves...then why can I always see the tops of stop signs?
Probably because they've yet to be engulfed. When videos talk of 20, 30 and 40 foot waves, people tend to picture walls of water sweeping over the land. The truth is that tsunamis. like far smaller waves, break on hitting the shore, and that height turns into length as the wave sweeps in. Away from the point where the wave broke, the water just rushes through, slowly deepening. If you've ever seen video footage of the Boxing Day Tsunami ( or have the stomach to watch the documentary made from footage taken from video cameras recovered from the debris left behind), it swiftly becomes apparent that, unlike an ordinary wave, which quickly drains back, a tsunami does not. It just keeps on coming, and coming, and coming., and the water gets deeper with each passing second. If you can see the tops of stop signs, the water has not got deep enough to drive the cameraperson away, or else, it may not be footage from the tsunami being discussed!
He said tsunamis are not very common but I think they are pretty common.
Enough for a whole video
800 feet tall ? Holy shit
Watch disasters of the century now that's something like one miner survived one mine collapse just to be killed in another
There was an earthquake just today I'm Japan.
The photos are so amazing!
also fake
In portrush Ireland I was there walking along the side maseive wave put me in the sea biggest waves in Ireland for 20 years btw I was walking next to a gate

What was the purpose of the pyroclastic flow clip at the beginning?
Let’s get this straight. At the beginning of the video; you called them tidal waves. What you are describing are not tidal waves. It’s tsunamis. A tidal wave is the bulge created by the gravitational pull of the moon. A tsunami occurs when a body of water is disrupted by something.
Here in the US they were referred to as tidal waves until the late 1970s. Tsunami is a later word of Japanese origin meaning 'harbor wave' and didn't have wide use in the West until the 1970s. I went to college in late 60s-early 70s and even there it wasn't used. I guess they were waiting for the WWII veterans to die off before pushing the word off on our society in general. They could have used Norwegian flodbølge instead.
For the Number 1 spot there was a boat in the bay at the time of the wave. I watched an interview with the father and son that were on their boat!
It sounds like Charlie Sheen is narrating this video.
The wave in 2011 was actually 49 feet.
Anyone notice at 2:25 to the right of the house in the middle of the shot there is a small blue roof (to the right of the van) Do you see something jump onto the blue roof than jump around on the water to the roof of the building behind the van. Right of the large blue roof. Like a giant white grasshopper.Making 90degree turns. Anyone have any ideas? Out of the shot at 2:34
