During the tsunami events sea bed sediments are deposited on the land, then covered by more land deposits. By conducting systematic digging, the layers can be revealed and dated thus establishing the sequence and approximate dates of seawater inundations. Which is how we compile the sequence of events in prehistory. The sea bed of Doggerland has land based animal skeletons (mammoth type animals) and such like which have been trawled up from time to time. The sea is quite shallow there, with many sand banks (e.g. the Dogger Bank) which complicate navigation.
i believe they have also studied the layer of salt that wouldve been left behind on land after the sea water drained or evaporated away which is how they determined the extent of land effected.
I'm 71 and from the UK and I have never heard of this! Why did we not learn about it in school! I always thought I had a good standard of education. I'm finding it absolutely fascinating!

It's not part of the curriculum (Or was not)... like the million other events that could be taught... But in just those 3 years of basic education... there has to be priorities. Some people learned about it just because the teacher decided to bring it up or it's been added in a newer part of the curriculum... as once again, it/was not part of the curriculum. Also scientist have only "recently" been able to prove it. Don't be sad or angry, there is only time to teach basics and more relevant information and there is new or more relevant information being found daily. It's normal world wide.
@@davidseale8252At school 60 years ago, we were merely taught that there was a land bridge somewhere between Britain and continental Europe. No name for the land mass was ever mentioned nor its extent nor any cataclysmic event. The assumption seemed to be that the land affected was submerged gradually by the increasing height of sea level as the ice melted and retreated towards the pole.

Every so often a trawler fishes up something from Doggerland. Stone tools such as arrowheads, axes, hammers, and adzes, as well as almost 2,000 barbed points made from bone or antler. Even hippopotamus bones. Lot of people died.
There is a tsunami prediction that when the volcano erupts (thought to be within the next 50-100 years) on one of the Canary Islands (Spanish Islands off the the coast of Morocco (Northwest Africa)), it is likely to cause a giant landslide into the sea and the resulting tsunami will move across the Atlantic Ocean towards the US Eastern Seaboard.... Saw this on a documentary on volcanoes not so long ago.
The Cumbre Vieja, it would/will go north and south too, and they will know it’s coming and you can’t evacuate the US Eastern Seaboard in time to make any difference … Meanwhile Yellowstone’s super volcano is still bubbling away …

Whether its worth surviving is another question. It would be a toss up whether the bridges survive. As they are about 40m ASL. We are built on a ravine which splits the city with a river.

A large proportion of the UK's best farmlands are near (and sometimes below) sea level. This is one of the reasons why global warming along with rising sea levels is such a scary scenario. If this was to happen the flooding would bad enough making many people homeless, but the accompanying famine would likely be much worse until the population shrinks to levels where the food supply could be stabilised. The USA would not be immune to such a scenario, remember you have frozen wastes around Canada and Alaska meaning you could well have giant frozen lumps of methane under the sea floor just waiting for the world to heat up so it can melt away.

If Yellowstone fully erupted it would cause havoc worldwide. The ash would mess with the atmosphere. Worse case scenario blocking out sun light causing another ice age.
The 'next likely' mega tsunami could be from La Palma in the Canary Islands. To put this in perspective, the Storegga landslide was about 3500 cubic km of rock falling perhaps 1.5km through the water, the La Palma one could be up to 5000 cubic km of rock falling up to 5km through the water, so hugely more energy will be involved. The East coast of the US will be affected by this tsunami, there are geological features on the US coast from previous Canary Island tsunamis. I was shown photos of them while I was at Uni, but can't seem to find them now unfortunately. There are also similar features in Scotland from the Storegga landslide.
I think you were talking when he said that there's not much probability of it happening, BUT that the geographic anomalies in the US - like the San Andreas fault - could possibly wreak havoc instead. Not to mention that we're now in the time period during which the Yellowstone super-volcano, according to the evidence, can be expected to play up. Yellowstone is the only live volcano which has been turned into a tourist venue. And it's one of the three "Super-volcanos" in the world. I was sitting in the Yacht Club in Papua New Guinea looking down at where all the boats are moored and was fascinated to see the water suddenly start to retract. "Wow!" I said as I watched our boat hit what had been the floor of the bay. My mate Jimmy looked too and then jumped up & started yelling at everyone to "Get Out" Fortunately the Club was built halfway up a cliff and everyone managed to get to higher ground... I don't think any of us had the time to feel scared - we were all just concentrated on getting higher up. (Some people still had their glasses in their hands!). The Tsunami didn't actually reach the clubhouse plate-glass walls; and I was told by the old hands that it had only been a smallish one. But hey, even if that was a small one, every time I see footage of modern tsunamis, I think back to it, and can put myself in their shoes.
Here in New Zealand we have a couple of live volcanoes that are tourist venues - and one of them showed its teeth a couple of years ago, resulting in about 20 deaths.
I live near the east coast of Britain near to a fishing port,we would sometimes read of fishermen catching large bones in their fishing nets (mammoth or rhinoceros bones) whilst fishing in the dogger bank area.The area of the North Sea called the Dogger Bank is a very productive fishing area,and is now best known for it's wind farms,as the water is quite shallow there (40-120m deep) so is ideal for siting wind turbines.Very interesting video,Thanks Tyler 👍👍
The American tectonic plate is still moving away from the European one, yes the Pond is getting wider. The current volcanic activity in Iceland is coming from cracks in the earth's crust opening up, just needs a deep mid N Atlantic one to open and by bye the British Isles, being on the edge of the European plate the islands could fall off the edge.
well not really, anyone who witnessed it "firsthand" wouldn't have been around after to have kids and pass on genes. we would've descended from the people in the nearby but unaffected area that moved into the unoccupied land once its inhabitants were wiped out. although frankly going that far back genetics is rather meaningless its all a big melting pot for the next several thousand years. modern inhabitants of England are more closely related to the romans and the Germanic Anglo Saxon tribes that moved in after the empire fell than the ancient tribes from this time, perhaps that might be different if your from Scotland or Ireland given that's where the tribes retreated to after the roman invasion?
Well they did discover a living descendent of Cheddar Gorge Man. They did DNA tests and found a man who lives a mile from the cave that the 10,000 year old skeleton was found, they share a common female ancestor.
Wait? I can tell from some of the replies that Dogging isn't loving pet owners introducing their pooches to each other! Can someone please inform me as to what it is?
Lisbon earthquake: apparently, Voltaire's religious faith was shaken when he discovered that many children had lost their lives in this. It seemed so arbitrary and unjust.
Hey, Tyler! if you want a fun fictional read on the same lines, find the 1963 story 'The Great Nebraska Sea' by Allan Danzig. Unfortunately, no culture in Britain has been continuous enough for stories of the Tsunami to have survived into the era of writing. However, on the East Coast of Australia some oral traditions of the Aboriginal peoples are though to preserve memories of the post-glacial sea rise more than 10,000 years ago, with knowledge of long-submerged landforms being confirmed by modern science.
The eruption of Yellowstone will most likely come far sooner than another flood like that. Oh yeah, and of course the big earthquake from the St. Andreas fold. Nature!
Actually, the next most likely thing is a tsunami that is predicted to be caused by the collapse of the island of La Palma. The wave is expected to be a mega tsunami that will devastate the east cost of America.
Good news . . . for Scotland, anyway. Thanks to post-glacial rebound, the country is rising by about 2mm per year - about a foot every 150 years. Conversely, bad news for the south of England - the landmass is tilting, and the south is sinking at a similar rate - hence increased coastal erosion.
We fo get tornadoes in the uk, usually they are nothing significant. Although we had a big one in Birmingham a good few years ago, which took off quite a few roofs in a very large stretch of Birmingham, it wouldnt be big to you in the UDA, just a few miles long.
The waves would have deposited millions of tons of salty mud on the land, making the growing of crops, & most plant food sources impossible for months. The animals that had been hunted would also have been mostly killed. Breeding of new generations of people & animals would have been severely restricted. Many experienced people would have been lost, so vital skills & knowledge would have been lost to memory for most people, & would only be relearned over generations.
you should look into the worlds worst year 536 CE caused by a volcanic winter. ten there was the mini iceage and black death which started around the 1300 and wiped out around half the uk population.
great vid, if that worries you then youd hate to know about the island in the canaries thats in danger of collapse and sending a tidal wave towards the east coast of the US
Britain is already facing an increase in flooding from rivers. If we were hit by storegga’s child the riverfolk would be just as effected as the coastal fishing people.
It's happened to the America both East and West coasts In the past too. One of the Hawaii islands broke in half and millions of tons of rock detatched and slipped into deep water causing an even bigger tidal wave to hit every coast in the south Pacific including North and South America Alaska China and Russia. We also have one of the Canary Island in danger of a major Tsunami event to east coast America, Canada, Cuba and the Bahamas. Good Luck. 😮
It fascinating all the same as it made Britain an isolated set of Islands, redeveloping and reshaping its own landscape. People simply wouldn't have known what to do. In todays society countries for example like France, Germany, Spain, Portugal...... etc would potentially help on rebuilding some sort of society and infrastructure for them. Whereas back 8,000 years ago, everyone would be in the dark. Literally!
We know there is actual risk to the east coast if the country and that it may well impact London - which is partially why the Thames Flood Barrier was built (also to control the high spring tides from impacting the city). Search out a 2 part film called ‘Flood’ which covers a similar scenario to the one that is thought possible and has been talked about in v recent years. This isn’t pie in the sky stuff. We are at risk. But this must’ve been so utterly devastating - can you imagine one minute you’re linked to Europe, the next you’re stranded on an island and all boats etc have been smashed to smithereens. Must’ve have been so utterly devastating to those who survived.
The most dangerous active volcano is Krakatoa. It blew itself to pieces in 1883, with the loudest natural bang ever heard, rupturing eardrums up to 40 miles away! Estimated death toll 36000. Unfortunately it has reestablished itself and when it blows again (not IF) the death toll would now probably run into millions due to the population increase in the area. And the film Krakatoa, East of Java, is wrong! It’s West of Java!
I've heard it said that if we parked the busiest shipping channel in the world (the English Channel) and somehow had the technology to excavate Doggerland, it would quite possibly be the most intact 8000yr old landscape in the world. I mean, imagine a whole fully-intact world two thousand years older than Skara Brae. It's still there under the sea. The Great Fire of London in 1666 also happened at a similar time of year (end of summer) and untold numbers of people starved and froze to death over the following winter after the fire (even though there were attempts at relief, charity etc). So imagine that 8000 yrs previous on a much bigger scale. Not only did survivors lose their farmland, woodland and livestock/wildlife (which would provide not only food but also wool and leather to make winter clothing), their neighbours did too. And their neighbours. And the guys in the next tribe. And over the hills in the next valley. And beyond the river. It must have caused waves of migration as people tried to source food, but where could they go to? Nowhere. Especially as every other survivor in the country would have been doing the same thing. Britain might have lost a quarter of it's people in the tsunami, but I suspect a far greater number of survivors died before the end of winter.

Don't be so complacent about this having happened 8000 years ago. Check out the slab of La Palma in the Canaries, which if/when it slides into the sea, could send a tsunami across the Atlantic wiping out many cites on the eastern seaboard of the U.S.A. and stacks of coastal cities in Europe.

I from Britain i didn't know it was called dooggerland although i have a heard that the joining place that was attatched maintained europe just became wasteland and water it got hit by water.
I wonder if traumatic events like this contributed to the flood myths in the Bible, people might have believed that it's a punishment of God. I also wonder why there is no movie about Doggerland. There is a song though by the band Santiano.
Although Britain doesn’t have to contend with tsunami’s often if god forbid a landslide was to occur again that caused a MASSIVE MEGA tsunami to come rushing towards uk Im sure it would be instant news on radio/tv/social media and people would tell people to EVACUATE the COAST IMMEDIATELY! So more lives could be save (as long as it was day time). But sadly yes may would still die and a HECK lot of buildings would be destroyed displacing Tens of thousands of people I would expect.
This could, and indeed will, happen again, though it's not currently imminent. The Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands will likely be the culprit. This active volcano is riven with faults that have destabilised the entire flank of the mountain. At some point in the not too distant future it is likely that a major volcanic eruption (not just the usual small eruptions) will result in the collapse of that flank into the Atlantic, causing a similar catastrophic tsunami that will ravage the western coasts of Europe and Africa, most of Southern Britain and Ireland and the eastern seaboard of the USA. There is no evidence to suggest that this event is imminent, but scientists constantly monitor the volcano to assess the potential danger.

To put this in perspective, the Storegga landslide was about 3500 cubic km of rock falling perhaps 1.5km through the water, the La Palma one could be up to 5000 cubic km of rock falling up to 5km through the water, so hugely more energy will be involved. The East coast of the US will be affected by this tsunami, there are geological features on the US coast from previous Canary Island tsunamis. I was shown photos of them while I was at Uni, but can't seem to find them now unfortunately. There are also similar features in Scotland from the Storegga landslide.
I think you were talking when he said that there's not much probability of it happening, BUT that the geographic anomalies in the US - like the San Andreas fault - could possibly wreak havoc instead. Not to mention that we're now in the time period during which the Yellowstone super-volcano, according to the evidence, can be expected to play up. Yellowstone is the only live volcano which has been turned into a tourist venue. And it's one of the three "Super-volcanos" in the world.
I was sitting in the Yacht Club in Papua New Guinea looking down at where all the boats are moored and was fascinated to see the water suddenly start to retract. "Wow!" I said as I watched our boat hit what had been the floor of the bay. My mate Jimmy looked too and then jumped up & started yelling at everyone to "Get Out" Fortunately the Club was built halfway up a cliff and everyone managed to get to higher ground... I don't think any of us had the time to feel scared - we were all just concentrated on getting higher up. (Some people still had their glasses in their hands!). The Tsunami didn't actually reach the clubhouse plate-glass walls; and I was told by the old hands that it had only been a smallish one. But hey, even if that was a small one, every time I see footage of modern tsunamis, I think back to it, and can put myself in their shoes.
Here in New Zealand we have a couple of live volcanoes that are tourist venues - and one of them showed its teeth a couple of years ago, resulting in about 20 deaths.
I live near the east coast of Britain near to a fishing port,we would sometimes read of fishermen catching large bones in their fishing nets (mammoth or rhinoceros bones) whilst fishing in the dogger bank area.The area of the North Sea called the Dogger Bank is a very productive fishing area,and is now best known for it's wind farms,as the water is quite shallow there (40-120m deep) so is ideal for siting wind turbines.Very interesting video,Thanks Tyler 👍👍
The American tectonic plate is still moving away from the European one, yes the Pond is getting wider. The current volcanic activity in Iceland is coming from cracks in the earth's crust opening up, just needs a deep mid N Atlantic one to open and by bye the British Isles, being on the edge of the European plate the islands could fall off the edge.
Damn,I'm right on the east coast at River Tay,thank god I'm a piscean
If you think about it, if you have any european blood at all, you will have had ancesters who would have witnessed this first hand.
well not really, anyone who witnessed it "firsthand" wouldn't have been around after to have kids and pass on genes. we would've descended from the people in the nearby but unaffected area that moved into the unoccupied land once its inhabitants were wiped out. although frankly going that far back genetics is rather meaningless its all a big melting pot for the next several thousand years. modern inhabitants of England are more closely related to the romans and the Germanic Anglo Saxon tribes that moved in after the empire fell than the ancient tribes from this time, perhaps that might be different if your from Scotland or Ireland given that's where the tribes retreated to after the roman invasion?
@@Simon-hb9rfStill, there's a chance, however small.
@@MichaelJohnsonAzgard you my friend are an optimist :)
Most wouldn't have seen it, but most ancient Britons would have heard it.
Well they did discover a living descendent of Cheddar Gorge Man. They did DNA tests and found a man who lives a mile from the cave that the 10,000 year old skeleton was found, they share a common female ancestor.
As opposed to 'Dogging Land' which is the name of modern day Essex!
"Ouch" 😂😂😂
RUDE!!!
Harsh,but true!
Wait? I can tell from some of the replies that Dogging isn't loving pet owners introducing their pooches to each other! Can someone please inform me as to what it is?
😂
Lisbon earthquake: apparently, Voltaire's religious faith was shaken when he discovered that many children had lost their lives in this. It seemed so arbitrary and unjust.
Hey, Tyler! if you want a fun fictional read on the same lines, find the 1963 story 'The Great Nebraska Sea' by Allan Danzig.
Unfortunately, no culture in Britain has been continuous enough for stories of the Tsunami to have survived into the era of writing. However, on the East Coast of Australia some oral traditions of the Aboriginal peoples are though to preserve memories of the post-glacial sea rise more than 10,000 years ago, with knowledge of long-submerged landforms being confirmed by modern science.
The eruption of Yellowstone will most likely come far sooner than another flood like that. Oh yeah, and of course the big earthquake from the St. Andreas fold. Nature!
Actually, the next most likely thing is a tsunami that is predicted to be caused by the collapse of the island of La Palma. The wave is expected to be a mega tsunami that will devastate the east cost of America.
35 metres per second is three times faster than Usain Bolt in his prime, for those who don't do metric
Good news . . . for Scotland, anyway.
Thanks to post-glacial rebound, the country is rising by about 2mm per year - about a foot every 150 years.
Conversely, bad news for the south of England - the landmass is tilting, and the south is sinking at a similar rate - hence increased coastal erosion.
East Anglian here. The North Sea will do far more damage than our sinking landmass. We've come to except that, it's part of nature.
Not just North v South, but also East-West. Morecombe Bay will be farmland and most of coastal East Anglia will disappear
We fo get tornadoes in the uk, usually they are nothing significant. Although we had a big one in Birmingham a good few years ago, which took off quite a few roofs in a very large stretch of Birmingham, it wouldnt be big to you in the UDA, just a few miles long.
The waves would have deposited millions of tons of salty mud on the land, making the growing of crops, & most plant food sources impossible for months. The animals that had been hunted would also have been mostly killed. Breeding of new generations of people & animals would have been severely restricted. Many experienced people would have been lost, so vital skills & knowledge would have been lost to memory for most people, & would only be relearned over generations.
you should look into the worlds worst year 536 CE caused by a volcanic winter. ten there was the mini iceage and black death which started around the 1300 and wiped out around half the uk population.
Fishermen still find things from Doggaland which sent archeology diving down and finding artifacts.
great vid, if that worries you then youd hate to know about the island in the canaries thats in danger of collapse and sending a tidal wave towards the east coast of the US
Reminds me of that Tornado that's the widest in recorded history with a width of 4.2km (2.6miles)
And that was only in 2013
Britain is already facing an increase in flooding from rivers. If we were hit by storegga’s child the riverfolk would be just as effected as the coastal fishing people.
It's happened to the America both East and West coasts In the past too. One of the Hawaii islands broke in half and millions of tons of rock detatched and slipped into deep water causing an even bigger tidal wave to hit every coast in the south Pacific including North and South America Alaska China and Russia. We also have one of the Canary Island in danger of a major Tsunami event to east coast America, Canada, Cuba and the Bahamas. Good Luck. 😮
1953 the great east coast flood is the closest we've come to it check it out
Yeah - there were massive losses both in England and the Netherlands from that.
It fascinating all the same as it made Britain an isolated set of Islands, redeveloping and reshaping its own landscape. People simply wouldn't have known what to do.
In todays society countries for example like France, Germany, Spain, Portugal...... etc would potentially help on rebuilding some sort of society and infrastructure for them. Whereas back 8,000 years ago, everyone would be in the dark. Literally!
We know there is actual risk to the east coast if the country and that it may well impact London - which is partially why the Thames Flood Barrier was built (also to control the high spring tides from impacting the city).
Search out a 2 part film called ‘Flood’ which covers a similar scenario to the one that is thought possible and has been talked about in v recent years. This isn’t pie in the sky stuff. We are at risk.
But this must’ve been so utterly devastating - can you imagine one minute you’re linked to Europe, the next you’re stranded on an island and all boats etc have been smashed to smithereens. Must’ve have been so utterly devastating to those who survived.
The most dangerous active volcano is Krakatoa. It blew itself to pieces in 1883, with the loudest natural bang ever heard, rupturing eardrums up to 40 miles away! Estimated death toll 36000. Unfortunately it has reestablished itself and when it blows again (not IF) the death toll would now probably run into millions due to the population increase in the area. And the film Krakatoa, East of Java, is wrong! It’s West of Java!
I've heard it said that if we parked the busiest shipping channel in the world (the English Channel) and somehow had the technology to excavate Doggerland, it would quite possibly be the most intact 8000yr old landscape in the world. I mean, imagine a whole fully-intact world two thousand years older than Skara Brae. It's still there under the sea.
The Great Fire of London in 1666 also happened at a similar time of year (end of summer) and untold numbers of people starved and froze to death over the following winter after the fire (even though there were attempts at relief, charity etc). So imagine that 8000 yrs previous on a much bigger scale. Not only did survivors lose their farmland, woodland and livestock/wildlife (which would provide not only food but also wool and leather to make winter clothing), their neighbours did too. And their neighbours. And the guys in the next tribe. And over the hills in the next valley. And beyond the river. It must have caused waves of migration as people tried to source food, but where could they go to? Nowhere. Especially as every other survivor in the country would have been doing the same thing. Britain might have lost a quarter of it's people in the tsunami, but I suspect a far greater number of survivors died before the end of winter.
You're in Evansville, Indiana. You have no need to "be real scared of the ocean now."
You can't help it can ya ,always one of the first to comment but always a negative one , it's all you can do ,harass someone trying to do a positive thing , everyone sees your comments ,yawn and think "what a wa£%er" you bring nothing to the party, i probably speak for many people by sayingif you don't like his channel or him have a little dignity and maybe say nothing,
And do us all a favour "👌"
Just the volcano in Yellowstone 😅
@@nolajoy7759 Not just Yellowstone... the biggest recorded earthquake in the US was in Missouri (magnitude of around 8, at New Madrid in 1811 - only 200km from Evansville).
Eh have you not heard of any modern day tsunami's???? I mist admit you do make me laugh 😂😂
Eg. Banda Aceh* (sorry if misspelt*) or any other Thailand shores: Boxing Day, 2004, and the one which hit Japan in 2011 causing their Fukishima* nuclear power plant's three reactors to go into meltdown...😮
😢😢😢 Thousands of people perished during each tsunami and the damage done through both events were colossal. I was safely ensconced here - (well, in my previous flat on the 4th floor) - in SELondon, watching the horrors unfold on TV news programmes.
'_Mother_Nature_' is seldom 'motherly' when 'enraged' and is truly _the_ 'unstoppable force', compared only (as far as am aware) with the equally horrendous '_manmade_' force of nuclear weaponry.😮😢
Times the 35 by 3 and you'll get a rough approximation of feet per second tyler, thanks for the channel
Well that was worth showing thank you Tyler wow well done 🤷♀️
We know in UK that we were once connected to mainland Europe but I've never heard this described in such detail!
Don't be so complacent about this having happened 8000 years ago. Check out the slab of La Palma in the Canaries, which if/when it slides into the sea, could send a tsunami across the Atlantic wiping out many cites on the eastern seaboard of the U.S.A. and stacks of coastal cities in Europe.
It may well be that any past events live in our cells in the form of collective memory, we just cannot access them ?
Being an island is not such a bad thing, it made us who we are and I am proud of that
There's nothing miniature about a 40-foot wave.
He said 40 meters high not 40 feet .... which ist 131.2 feet high 😃
@@knightwish1623 He said ,"miniature tsunami" when Simon said a 12m wave could happen in the future. 12m is just under 40 feet, so not really miniature.
Sorry I thought you were refering to the 40 meter wave he mentioned at the beginning of the video ... and just got feet and meters mixed up.
@@knightwish1623No probs, I'm British so know there's a difference 😜 👍
@@knightwish1623No problem 👍
I'd watch a movie based on that... There is a 2019 movie called doggerland but it is set in modern times so I don't think that covers it.
That could be either one about 'Diggerland'...,or about 'Doggingland,'?!!!😮😊😅😂
" WAD ER " !? Do you mean WATER !?
Maths is obviously not Tyler's strong point !! " 1607...that's 200 years ago " !! That'll be 417 years ago actually !!
Don't say 'maths', it confuses them and they won't know what you're on about!
😮 .. even some cartoon character could count on the fingers of 'a Simpsons hand' and come up with the right number of years between 1606/7 to 2024, and surely Tyler has more digits than Homer Simpson?!!😮🤔🙁☺️🙂🖖
@brigidsingleton1596 🤣🤣
That’s a wall of water hitting at 78 mph
I from Britain i didn't know it was called dooggerland although i have a heard that the joining place that was attatched maintained europe just became wasteland and water it got hit by water.
This can happen anytime.... example Cumbre Vieja
To be honest, if the price we pay for being the sea's favourite is that she may destroy us, I am fine with it. There are worse ways to go.
m/s to mph is about the same conversion factor as kg to pounds ie 2.2.
So 35 m/s is ~ 77 mph.
I live on the east coast of Britten hope it does not happen again.
A literal Viking wave
I'm fae scotland and had no idea and I'm on East Coast in dundee
Oh no, not Svalbard, where the Global Seed Vault is located !
I wonder if traumatic events like this contributed to the flood myths in the Bible, people might have believed that it's a punishment of God. I also wonder why there is no movie about Doggerland. There is a song though by the band Santiano.
Cumbre Vieja! 🌋🌊🇺🇸
Although Britain doesn’t have to contend with tsunami’s often if god forbid a landslide was to occur again that caused a MASSIVE MEGA tsunami to come rushing towards uk Im sure it would be instant news on radio/tv/social media and people would tell people to EVACUATE the COAST IMMEDIATELY! So more lives could be save (as long as it was day time). But sadly yes may would still die and a HECK lot of buildings would be destroyed displacing Tens of thousands of people I would expect.
This could, and indeed will, happen again, though it's not currently imminent. The Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands will likely be the culprit. This active volcano is riven with faults that have destabilised the entire flank of the mountain. At some point in the not too distant future it is likely that a major volcanic eruption (not just the usual small eruptions) will result in the collapse of that flank into the Atlantic, causing a similar catastrophic tsunami that will ravage the western coasts of Europe and Africa, most of Southern Britain and Ireland and the eastern seaboard of the USA. There is no evidence to suggest that this event is imminent, but scientists constantly monitor the volcano to assess the potential danger.
Ppl lived next to water & foshing.
If you're dead how are you able to realise anything. Nice one Simon aka Geographics🤪🤣
Don’t you remember the Tsunami in 2004 in Indonesia and what that one was like it was horrible all them people so sad
I think you Americans should watch out that big giant super volcano your sitting on that's due to erupt

Perspective…we all live on a rotating planet which star will ultimately eat us when it goes into a red dwarf. We have a huge black hole at the centre of the galaxy, that has started to collide with andromeda our neighbouring galaxy. All the while floating about in the midst of nothingness where trillions upon trillions of other galaxy’s exist. Yeah tsunami pffft…just one more thing to annihilation. 😅😂

Think there was a massive tsunami hit continental America around the US north west and Japan after a massive sea volcano eruption
It could literally happen again anywhere at any time, perhaps it will happen tonight after the sun goes down. Sleep tight.
end your kids bedtime story with that phrase every night and your liable to run up quite a bill for therapy in their teen years.
Choked on my Horlicks...😮😅
wooooah lol
I never heard of this in any History class.
Google it.
I remember reading about it in the 1970's. I've seen lots of articles since.
It depends on your interests but it's discussed in geological books and programs and pops up in news articles.
I know and a lot of people tell me the same. We learnt about it at primary school back in the 80's.
Did the survivors ransacked the toilet paper out of the supermarket?
😅😅😅
Hi Tyler,
I enjoyed your reactions to this one.
I'd love you to cover this video of the worst storm we probably ever had here which was in 1703.
A few of my direct ancestors were on the East coast in Norfolk and Essex as children at that time so I guess I'm lucky to be here!
I think you would enjoy this one and I'd love to see your reaction to it.

Hey Tyler, can I come and live with you if a mega tsunami sweeps my house away.
Not to scare anyone but History often repeats which is why its not useless as some people claim.
we weren't britain then, probably weren't even celts , just european settlers before the bronze age heck even Romans weren't around probably just Egyptians early age
You guys are firing tonight in the Comments!😅😅😅 just shows disasters bring out the best in the British.

Keep up the good work Tyler 👍
What do you like the best...the one eye squinting or that harsh grating edge to the word "average" 😅
Don’t feel too safe in America read about the Super Volcanoes many of which are close to the American Coast. Sleep Well 😊
idk what would be the worst modern natural disaster in the uk within living memory, aberfan was kind of bad but idk if ud call that man made or not
I'd say the building up of the slag heaps, and them being sited right behind the school, was a _manmade_ problem, but the water (streams?) running beneath them created a natural disaster that was just "waiting to happen" - basically a manmade, yet (apparently?) an _unforseen_ catastrophe...?😢😢😢
My grandfather told me about this. He said it was an awful time but he was lucky because he built a raft made from turnips
The US is not that safe from a Tsunami, Cumbre Vieja tsunami hazard.
