That the wave was ... ( 2 weeks ago by ubbecykelkedja)
That the wave was almost 500 meters (1720 ft) high is just ridiculous. It is claimed the wave removed vegetation and trees as high up as 1720 feet up, but that doesn't mean the actual WAVE was as high as that. It just means the splash when it hit land reached as high as that.

the same happened a few years ago in Italy,

The result was a fatal minitsunami:some tourists watching and filming that heavenly place were thrown away.
That's pure fatality and misfortune.
