I'm surprised that the narrator didn't state that the Mar. 27th, 1964 earthquake was the Good Friday Earthquake that was epicentered just southeast of Anchorage & which is still the most powerful earthquake that has ever occurred in North America.
"...the citizens of Crescent City, California, couldn't have been prepared for what was coming." Actually, yes, they were prepared; they had been warned and many had evacuated. Still people were caught and injured and killed by the ocean regardless.
Here on the Central Coast, there are communities beachside with only one road in or out. The last time there was a Tsunami warning, spectators came to watch and blocked all exits.
The same people who study the strata in the sand following a tsunami are the same ones who laugh at you when you study the Grand Canyon for the same reason
@sanjana1672 The reason they look like a huge tide when they come in is basically because you are seeing that huge, long wave just pushing and pushing as more and more wave comes from behind and also the wave's speed toward the shore carrying it forward.
In short, waves are strong and there are no resistance from the underlying ocean beds, but as they reach near the coastal region, the continental shelf elevates higher and higher, this increase the resistance and slow down the waves. This build up stress and tension within it, which decrease the velocity but increased in height of the waves. Edit: The above phenomena led to the increase in height. Larger the distance between the wave length, higher the stress the elevating ocean bed exerted result in high wave.
What got me this tragedy was the fact that people were not warned of the incoming Tsunami to the other side of the Indian Ocean! That one act killed more than half of the people.
@@paulherring8959 I stand corrected but I am not a fool. The point I was making was that all those deaths in Sri Lanka and elsewhere away from Indonesia were 100% preventable!
The monster earthquake on December 26 , 2004 was a 9.3 giant shake and Indonesia had more than 200,000 souls. Don’t minimize this horrendous event that was catastrophic.
@sanjana1672 You don;t see the huge height of the wave, because it has effectively already broken. You see the same effect with smaller waves on a flat beach, once the wave has broken and pushes up the beach, quite shallow compared to the wave height, but full of push power, from the wave energy. It's like dropping a big rock into a pool, only upside down. :)
I had the chance to go to Tacoma Washington a few years ago, I did not go. because of the EQ's, Volcanoes....etc I'll stay a few hundred miles (400) away from the ocean, and at aprox 900 ft elevation. You couldn't pay me enough to live in Florida, or California.... East coast or west coast.
Jesus. If you let such a rare thing dictate where you spend your life, I hate to know what other, more serious and common possible tragedies keep you from doing! Bet you're a lot of fun to hang out with lol. 😉 I love my home. Florida rocks. You realize you're literally a million times more likely to die in a car accident than death by tsunami, right? Guess you don't drive anywhere either.
@sanjana1672 That then affects the surface water, because it has to go somewhere. It makes a huge wave, or several. These waves are truly enormous. They can have wavelengths (the distance crest to crest) of hundreds of kilometres. They travel very fast, too: sometimes hundreds of kilometres per hour.
People!! Come now. Just because YOU have never seen a 100 ft wave does not mean they don't exist. I've never seen a 1000 ft wave, either. But one happened in Lituaya Bay in Alaska, in the 1950's. C'mon, people. Don't be naive.
@sanjana1672 one huge piece of undersea bottom pushes down on another one. You are talking pieces of sea bottom hundreds or thousands of miles long. Then the one that is being pushed suddenly jumps back. All the water (billions of tonnes?) ` that filled the hole as the sea bottom was pushed down now suddenly get flipped back out.
The epicenter of the quake was at the exact spot where India had detonated an underwater nuclear test less than 18 hours before !! The blast shattered a subduction zone causing an area of water 25 wide X 1500 miles long to jump up 25 to 40 feet Killing not thousands but over 1.million people living near the ocean across several countries
@Badness Bob ---I doubt Roscoe will be providing the evidence you seek.Such a story as the one he's spewing would have made headlines worldwide for months.So my guess is that Roscoe is either a troll or believes every conspiracy theory he reads on the web.
If you want to see a hundred foot wave from just wind power, check out surfing videos of Nazare Portugal. You'll be amazed at these, and they weren't even caused by earthquakes. Then look up Lituya Bay Alaska, and the 600 foot wave from a landslide when a large part of the mountain fell into the bay.
MrJWall yes they were warned. It just came so quick, and just kept coming. A lot of people died at the shelters because it went very high, and far. It was 6 or 10 miles inland in some parts. The warning system though did save hundreds of thousands of life’s though. The death toll was still very high (around 20,000) but it could been 100,000 plus easily. The damage was much more though. It is the most expensive natural disaster in history. I think around 2 billion. So yes thank God there was a warning. May the their souls rest in paradise.
Not really. A tsunami can be literally a few inches tall and cause no damage. What makes a tsunami a tsunami is not how big and destructive it is but how it is formed. That is why floods can be in most instances be far more deadly than most tsunamis. Very destructive tsunamis are actually quite rare. That is why when most people only came to know what a tsunami is AFTER the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami.
When you look at the State of California from high above on any map the whole State has a huge pool shape Pit in the middle and seems like from a Geographical point of view it's taken a super large Tsunami and drained south the bottom of the pool most shallow? A Tsunami 10 miles high as wide as the length of the State of California about the same time of Noah's Arc? ☄🌊
much of their theories are nothing more than supposition,there was no 100 ft wave that hit Banda Aceh..true it was devastated,but in some places the wave was only 4 ft high,that in itself is devastating because of the sheer power of the wave,rumors that the wave height was a 100 feet high,in itself are probably true,but what people say was a wall of water heading directly for their shore,the tsunami is like a wall of water but that is before the wave crests which will happen before the tsunami reaches shore,people in their initial panic only see the wall of water before they all start running in terror,the top of the wavee becomes too heavy and crashes downward,that's the part that hits the shoreline,and depending on the topography of the shoreline leading up to the acatual coastine will shape the type of tsunami that will hit.
Too bad prediction of the future based off of the past is not accurate enough to continue pretending thait you can get a accurate reading of the future off all the information we have built up till now. We take off in new directions often and just because something gradually came to life mean it couldn't die in a instant. I wish people would move away from the idea.

My granddaughter asked about these less than a week ago and here it is recommended to me. Thanks, KQED is one of my favorite PBS .
Refreshing to have a factual presentation without the typical hyperbole of commercial productions.

That was horrid. Could not imagine being caught up in something like that.
This is very interesting to watch ,thanks for sharing

I live in San Luis Obispo. Thinking about this, there are few exits for any emergency, be it Diablo, tsunami, earthquake or fire.

Get your facts straight fool.Fully 80% of the deaths occurred in Indonesia,not on the "other side of the Indian Ocean".
