    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.

    • @johnwatkins3883
      @johnwatkins3883 2 роки тому

      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.

    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.

    A few years back, on a beautiful island resort, there was a tsunami around Christmas time. Of the many pictures one showed a woman standing on the beach with this giant tsunami in front of her. Her hands on her hips, she just stood there - she knew she was going to die and didn't flinch an inch. Just stood there and then the tsunami enveloped her and she was gone. There's not been one article or word written on this woman, other than the picture which shows the devastating story. She was never identified, to my knowledge. But in watching this video, this woman deserves a few words! She faced her death right in the eye. Knowing there was no way to escape this, only God knows what she was thinking. You can't even speculate - was she just eyeing up this massive wave taking it all in, innately
    knowing she was going to die in a second and not thinking about death? Was there an, "Oh God, here it comes!"?
    In watching this, I just believe this woman deserves a few words and a prayer. Her body language seemed not to show a fear.
    Whoever you are, God bless you for your bravery in seeing and meeting your death. May perpetual light be shining upon you, in Heaven, with God and all His Heavenly Celestial Court. May you and all who have met their death to this watery grave, Rest In Peace. In JESUS' name 🙏❤

    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.

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.

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'.

    The correct term for displacement-waves formed by landslides is "Seiche". They are so severe because of the relatively shallow depth of the water that the landslide impacts, the ratio of displacement-mass to the volume of the body of water, and the nearness of an opposite shore. There is no room for any inverse-square loss or other attenuation.

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)

    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.

    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.

    • @MountainFisher
      @MountainFisher Рік тому

      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.
