I'm just imagining that scene from Interstellar, "Those aren't mountains.... they're waves"
Great movie made me cry when the robot shut down for a bit
Yeah great movie
Brace yourselves
Correct
But man were they huge they were like the size of Jupiter
the fact that the wave was 1750 feet tall, reduced to only 50, and STILL was so powerful. imagine if it stayed that hight..
Once the canary island volcano collapses into the ocean you'll find out. It's not far off and it's likely to destroy a couple of cities
Howard and sonny would probably be dead.
What’s crazy is that the earthquake that caused the tsunami was live a 7-8. 1964’'s earthquake was 9.2 and that tsunami was only 200m.
the wave was never that high, the highest the wave was was 60 meters, it was over 500 meters "high" because it rolled up another mountain.
@Anon it doesn't no. it Makes it elevated to that height. You don't include the geography of where you live when someone asks you your height, do you? It is maybe technically right, but you cant tell me you can't see how misleading this is. I've seen many posts all over picturing tsunami heights, and they just show it as a massive wave. which it wasn't. This kind of misleading information that is technically not wrong but uses technicalities for sensation purposes is the cause of many misinformation based forums these days. Just look at antivaxxers.
Father and son: *sleeping on boat*
Tsunami: Hello there
Stop
@The Scarlet Hanged King In Yellow you underestimate my power!
It's over tsunami I have the high ground

Lt. Col. Andrew Lewdcas you are a bold one.
People don't realize that waves are often measured from the backside (relative to sea level). The face of the wave is often 2-3 times that. These guys were looking at a 100-200 foot wave. On top of that, Alaska has very little light pollution. If the moon was only a crescent, they are looking at a huge wall of nothing. A black abyss hurtling towards them.
That sound terrifying
Bill probably had that exact flashback and his heart couldn't take it again 🤦🏾♂️😮💨
In July In Alaska, the darkest it gets is about what it looks like 5 minutes after sunset. There would have been plenty of light to see it.
It was a nearly 2000 foot wave from the backside so do you mean nearly 4-6000 from the front?
That's for surfing, they measured this wave due to where it hit on the land surrounding the bay and how high up trees were uprooted

i forgot i posted this lol
Imagine seeing a nearly 2000 foot tall wave headed your way. How scary would that be
Taller than the eiffel tower itself which is 324m
Very
The water would become a smelly brown mess if I saw a wave that big headed for me.
Fortunanetely the wave subsided very quickly, going from 524 to merely 15 meters by the time it hit them. Still, seeing a 500+ meter wave come at you must be insane!
“Put on your live preserver and pray to God almighty” crazy reality
Imagine being at a job interview and telling that story when the guy asks “tell me about a time when you were in a stressfull situation”
What a nightmare it would be to see a 1700 foot wave coming at you. Couldn’t even begin to imagine what was going through their heads.
POV: You saw a tiktok about how big tsunami’s can get and now you’re here
Yup
Ye
Nope
Yes lol
yup
I can understand him having a heart attack upon returning to the bay. It would have been incredibly emotional and triggering, and his blood pressure would have shot right up. I just hope he wasn't alone when it happened.
A family friend was on Kodiak island when a tsunami hit and came up almost to the foundation of his family’s house. He said that same earthquake had caused a tidal wave so massive, it cleared an entire village, coming in from one side, and going across back into the water on the other side wiping out everyone.
4:10 the Floating rocks🤣🤣
@Cmdr. Lewdiepie
Nice catch.
I don't get it.
M keyword: floating. U ever see your rocks floating?
The TRUE defying of weight
DUDE, those are surfing rocks.
I have a friend that visited that area about a year ago. When I showed her a documentary about this incident, the look on her face was priceless.
Me: what a nice day on the beach.
Tsunami: imma bout to end this whole man's career.
LoL
“Looks like the wave gottem in the end”
😂😂😂
Father and son : *sleeping*
Tsunami : *helo*

Ah yes.
Floating rocks.

Lol I _honestly_ didn't see this until you said something.
They're not rocks, Marie. They're minerals.
Just call in a mayday over the anchor you'll b right
Bruh that's clearly a buoys
Alaska is my home!! My grandma was in Anchorage when it happened.
Imagine if they had been closer to the mountains seeing a 500m wall of water
Talk about literally being between a rock and a hard place.
@@rm-nc2ci it was the splash that was 500m
I would imagine people not believing their story, at first. Literal tall tales of riding waves taller than houses. Actually riding the wave, almost as if you are surfing it. A pretty badass story to tell, though. It's great when reality is stranger than fiction.
I never heard that story about the second couple who survived. Shame that the guy insisted on revisiting the bay and likely died from the stress of seeing it again.
Not only would it be terrifying to see such a colossal wave, it would be terrifying to see it’s velocity. It’s estimated that this wave travelled at over 180 km/h (120 mph).
That's slow...You could drive away from that 😂
Yeah, if there was a straight enough road to top your car out on.
I get so excited seeing a TH-cam notification off this channel
Scubadiver: why did it feel like i was pushed back for a second ?
Scubadiver2: *eh its probably just a little wave*
I dont know why but riding a tsunami was kinda badass
Oh yeah.... I remember this tsunami...
So what you're saying is this legend surfed the largest wave in modern history and survived?
Folks on an airplane: My, what a lovely wave.
Why this dude make this seem like an awesomely fun adventure
Imagine if you had been on the boat that didn't sink, that would've been an awesome adventure.
Am I the only one who’d find a tsunami fun?
That was a huge wave!! I’ve seen a documentary on this years ago and always wondered how those 2 must’ve been thinking 😱
These people are likely the only ones who have ever and for at least a long time will ever see a wave this big. I kinda wish I was there since simulations of it and videos can’t give you a true sense of scale you have to actually be there and I want to know what it’d look like
The Lord has his hand on sunny and his dad :)
Exactly bro who is saved by almighty nobody can destroy him .
Oh so god said F those other peeps? Sure
When you go surfing and you end up on top of the wave itself.
Imagine if someone just surfed that wave
You’d usually wipe out pretty hard
Me: Wow big wave * a minute later*
My dad: MAYDAY MADY
Me: you don't even own a boat dude..
There are stories about how in the fjords of Scandinavia, there have been similar occurrences. One outstanding concern is the islands off Africa. Some of them, it's believed, can have major landslides into the ocean at any time, creating a tsunami that would reach across the Atlantic to our shores. Let's hope that never happens on our watch...
Just look up the Canary island volcano, if it falls into the ocean...they're talking about the highest wave ever recorded.
The ultimate surf story.
An earthquake followed by a landslide in 1958 in Alaska's Lituya Bay generated a wave 100 feet high, the tallest tsunami ever documented. When the wave ran ashore, it snapped trees 1,700 feet upslope.
How to survive a Tsunami:
Be a camera man!
Don’t forget the tsunami is brought to you by Raid Shadow Legends
Or NordVPN
Or honey
So I just found out that the wave wasn’t actually 500 meters tall it was actually the splash that was caused from the landslide before washing away a nearby hill but just imagine that your on top of that hill when the landslide happened and you get to witness the full height until being washed away.
Imagine coming face to face with a Tsunami ..that size especially
Plot twist:
When he died to a heart attack, it was because he saw Nessie. Just on a different place
0:07 "it was the strongest earthquake in 60 years"
1964: *hold my beer*
Nah bro this one is stronger.
The 1964 one was like 200 meters tall
@@parappa5002 this lower than an 8.0 the 1964 one was a 9.2. I’m talking about the earthquake, not the tsunami.
@@EmilyS1234 oh
@@EmilyS1234 It was actually a 9.5.
Micheal Townley :Why did I move here?
Tsunami :I guess it was the weather.
By God's grace they survived
Spoiler.. he dies in the end
Me: (Sees a rock float on water)
Also me: *i have seen things*
Love ur videos.
I remember watching this video in school.
This is where the recommendation s took me
2:03 atleast he was able to talk to the anchor and say mayday before the wave hit him.
You saw a TikTok and came here and then read the comments about seeing a TikTok and now you’re reading a comment about that
Just imagining a wave thats literally half a kilometer tall.. is scary
Imagine your dad doing this:
Dad: Get your lifesaver vest on and start praying
Little Jimmy: But dad *we aren't Christians*
Dad: SHUT UP LIITLE JIMMY ITS ALL WE CAN DO
Little Jimmy: Can you at least try and drive the boat?
Dad: Nah im too lazy
This need a movie
Do an infographics episode about What would happen if the moon could hit earth
We all die
This sounds eeeepic since I'm a big fan of natural disaster movies and this sounds really interesting and cool.
Imagine ... this also happened at 10 in the evening... Dark and scary
I never watch the videos when they come out but when I click on em and find out they are this short I’m very happy
Yo that’s crazy
Just kidding haven’t watched the video yet cause I’m here too early 😂
The child’s prayer worked, lol they Rode the wave 🌊
This is why I just stay deep in the wilderness far away from the sea
“no”

Father and son: Time to sleep.
*Tsunami has entered the chat*
😂
When your tryna sleep but the tsunami has other plans
I’ve heard various descriptions of huge tsunamis over the years. Some describe them as coming in like a giant flash flood, other descriptions depict tsunamis as giant walls of water. The word tsunami means ‘harbor wave’ in Japanese. A common misconception about tsunamis, is that there’s only one wave in a tsunami. In actuality though, tsunamis come in a series of waves called tsunami wave trains. Each individual wave can be a different size, and the first wave is seldom the biggest. Even if a seawall survives one tsunami wave, there’s usually more waves coming. It’s the subsequent waves that come after the first one that can knock down structures that survive the first wave. Those people who were in Lituya Bay that night were extremely lucky they weren’t hit multiple times.
Yeah that last guy was on some Final Destination type beat but instead he served death up on a silver platter
I’m curious when I look at images on how the wave appeared it shows the landslide happening and it makes the wave that slams into a hill and then it there when the wave reaches 500 meters but what I’m questioning is that’s was the wave still moving as a 500 meter wall of water moving towards Howard’s boat before shrinking down to 50 feet?
Boat: LeTs HaVe A sUrF oN a TsUnAmI
Dad: NOOOOOOOO DONT
Boat: *Does it anyway*
Imagine how fun riding the wave would be
Not fun at all
When you say true story me no believe that but this is a great video
Please make a video on spaceX vs blue origin
I love to surf mega waves in my boat right. Who doesn't
What an absolutely amazing story!
I I’m a big fan 😃👋
The fact this tsunami was the biggest one and yet somehow killed like no people is crazy
I can’t even look at an animation of large wave without getting weak knees. My biggest weakness.
I accidentally clicked this video but Ngl lucky I did this is interesting
Absolutely insane
That ending sounds like a plot line from Final Destination. For those unfamiliar with the movie, people survive what should have killed them only to die tragically at a later date. Or for those familiar with the present day meme...
Captain: You almost killed me last time, but guess what! I'mmmmm Baaa-aack!
Heart Attack: Hello...
To be clear, the wave crest was not 1720 feet. That was the max run up height on land. The wave was most likely closer to 100-200 feet tall
That’s still enormous!

@ 2:06 last last words he said over the anchor ⚓ "mayday mayday!" I think that was a mistake lol I'm pretty sure the last thing he said wasn't over the ⚓ more like radio..
Credible journalism right there. "Howard dropped the anchor as low as it would go"... Wasn't he already anchored?
PoloXL1275 This could be a longshot and they simply messed up…… But they could’ve also been referring to the second anchor which would have been faster to drop than to pull up the first one and forgot to add the distinction.
I have a patient that was a kid and there during event. Amazing story from her.
According your comments, you spent 8 years in bed, also you grandfather flew with NASA and you live in Vandenberg. I call lies.
Matas Gus Lol. Robert Elliott. Look it up. I couldn’t care less if you don’t believe me. It’s the internet. Call lies all you want. Actually I spent closer to 10 years in bed from a motorcycle accident where a broke 2 vertebra and ruptured L5-S1 discs. Sorry if I’ve had a somewhat interesting life compared to you.
Matas Gus and he didn’t work for NASA. he flew in the two seater for a meteorological experiment. Never said he worked for NASA. My buddy does though! Just boring computer work. Cheers!
@@peter-radiantpipes2800 Sorry mate for kinda being rude, this is the internet after all and now I believe your story.
Hey my grandfather saw that tsunami! I live in Elfin Cove, Alaska and my grandfather saw the wave hit. By the time it got to our town it was only like 10 feet high, but still caused some damage on buildings by the shore. We have tsunamis hit here often, last time was in 2011 (Japan tsunami)
Tsunami: Your lives are now mine. The guys on the boat: Im about to end this mans whole career
ITS SO MUCH WORSE THAT IT HAPPENED LATE AT NIGHT😳😳😳
You can't see it coming 😨
How to survive a tsunami:
1. Live far from oceans
Me with my waterproof umbrella and my 50 SPF sunscreen: YOU SHALL NOT PASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Surfs up dudes 🤙🤙
Pov ur here from tiktok

This would be an insane movie
Yes, rocks float😂
Ayy early gang
father: hey son do you want to go fishing out in the open where we can easily get killed by a title wave of doom also know as a tsunami.
son: ok
tsunami: yes my prey is coming
I’ve got a challenge idea- only eat gluten free food for a month
You took the words right out of my mouth!
Waves couldn't have broken crests yet, or the boats could not have stayed afloat. Breaks occur when underwater extremes slow while uppers retain speed; that killed the last couple in part.
Cthulu: You two .... You will survive ..... The Rest .... I wont be so sure about it.
Ahem, Hollywood please make this into a movie
