I’m just imagining people during the April Fools Tsunami trying to warn people to get them somewhere safe and they are just like “nah not falling for that one lol”
That is actually what happened. Warnings were sent out but because of the day a lot of people unfortunately thought it was a prank and didn't get to safety.
For context: The april fools tsunami was named that because it was april fools when it hit, so people thought it was a prank and were totaly unprepared.
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GO UNDERGROUND IN A TSUNAMI! That's an even quicker way to be trapped below while being flooded. Always seek higher ground and get as far away as possible.
The entire city is underwater, hey let's try to go underground where rescue will take a ridiculous time to arrive, and there is a significant reduction in the chance of u surviving
@@butter6066 no, floods can occur in hours of time, slowly and steadily. A flooding is water overflow and mostly only happens on flat and broad areas. A tsunami is a big wave of water mostly occurring on pacific regions and can destroy buildings and other stuff in a matter of seconds, a tsunami is way more destructive and lethal.
The “April Fools Tsunami” was the saddest one. On April fools, a danger signal was sent about an oncoming dangerous tsunami. However, the victims of the tsunami thought it was all an April Fools joke. You can think of what happens next.
In case anyone’s following the guys advice, absolutely *do not* go underground, especially if it’s a subway or smth. Those places are *always* the first to flood since it’s so easy for water to get in (this also applies to _all_ water disasters, not just tsunamis). You need to get as high up as possible - even if water gets to you, the kinetic energy imparted higher up will be less since there’s less mass at the top of the wave. You will still be knocked around though, but hopefully you’re high enough to avoid any of the wave reaching you period.
Tsunami rarely have a giant wave that erases everything at its way as we're used to seeing in movies. Yes, it's true they can make big waves, but only in deep sea, since when they arrive at shallow waters, such columns of water just collapse in the surface while the rest of the column below keeps moving. That's why most tsunamis are more like fast-moving flooding rather than a Hollywood chase scene with a building sized wave.
@@PilotTed Yeah but how do you get out? You would also need oxygen pumped in from above ground and what if that oxygen supply vent gets flooded or destroyed. Best place to be is high up.
It low-key grinds my gears that people reviewing videos like this get more views than the original video. The creators put in so much hard work and research and some random just talks over it and makes more money 😔
@Nick West I see no issue with it. It's fair use. If it's that easy to do do then do it yourself. Still not sure what this guy is doing as a reactor to be popular as there's no sustenance but whatever.

“April fools tsunami” imagine it starts coming towards the land, then it stops whislt people are freaking out. It starts going backwards then waves bye.
Just for a note, the Chixculub Impact Tsunami was actually inaccurate. Sources predict that there were many tsunamis, all in the shape of a ring surrounding the asteroid crater, and predictions on the size of the different waves range from 1-3 miles high, which are all absolutely ginormous, especially when compared to the 100m height that was shown in this video.
“Do you just go underground?” Yes. Everybody knows when the ground above you is flooded that it’s best to lock yourself in a hole in the ground and hope you don’t drown…. Jesus Christ man
One scary thing about tsunamis that often gets overlooked is *the sound* of them. Some people have described it as a low groaning, creaking, or even a long deep cry. I would gladly go the rest of my life without being able to confirm this for myself 👍😭🙏
Its like the sound of a nuclear bomb. No one thinks abiut it because theyre focused on the effect. Its like thunder to lightning but no one thinks about it.
I’m from cuba and for YEARS growing up I would have really crazy horrifying nightmares about tsunamis covering up the Island 😭 and that been my biggest fear my entire life (I’m 32)… so much I ended up living on Kentucky… by the time a tsunami gets here half the world be underwater already 💀 the only thing I need to worry about is some tornado and we have a big concrete basement.
or another scary thing is how fast the water fills rooms and drags giant objects, and breaks things apart, so even if you tried swimming in it you'd be stabbed with a million different things and probably pinned somewhere and drowned or killed with impacts
It's because that's what happend. It was April fools day in Hawaii. What's even more worse is the 1st day of every month the siren alarm that's heard across the state was assumed as a test as well to people.

@@TheFinalFlesh going underground will most likely end up deadly. Water will seep through all kinds of crevices, so you would either drown or would be stuck underground for days. The best place to go, is to go to a stable high location, like a mountain.
“April Fools Tsunami” happened on April 1st 1946, april fools day, on the big island of hawaii. Sirens were sounded but some people assumed it was an april fools joke. Did major damage in Shinmachi in Hilo and Lapuhoehoe. Theres still a clock in Hilo where the time is stuck at 1:05 as a memorial for those who died in the tsunami.
@@hensinks so that makes it ok for a kid to laugh at it? They need to learn how tragic Tsunamis can be. I’ve never experienced one, but that doesn’t mean I’ll just make a joke out of it knowing how many families lost someone they loved dearly.
I was in the Navy and I will say one of the scariest things to look at is the ocean at night. My first deployment was on a carrier (CVN 73), and when I went out for a smoke at night I never leaned over the rails. On rough nights seeing that black dark rolling abyss made people think twice about goofing off near the rails.
Am I the only person that finds staring at rough sea at night kinda hypnotic and enticing in a dark, tempting way? I have to force myself away because the fear I might jump in is strong. (And no, I'm not depressed or anything!)
@@bau9894 he is not lying. Although in 2002 (my first deployment) we had people that would throw chemlights in the ocean at night for fun. Not fun for everyone else, because we usually worked shifts and people sleeping had to get up every time someone threw chemlights in the water. This caused a man overboard event, and nobody went back to sleep until everyone (5000+ ppl) were accounted.
@Tyler Storck Thanks but I mainly went in to see if I could make it on my own and not under my parents care. I will say carrier deployments can have their fun moments. Ask your dad how much the Navy guys disliked the marines when they rode on board. They always took up the gym spaces. They also made the chow lines longer 🤣
Hi from Japan, I guess everyone knows already but difference between bigwave and Tsunami (at least in Japanese) is that big wave is like a single wall of wave like in the video. Tsunami is when the whole sea level rise by that much. Imagine a sea level suddenly rising 20m.
ua-cam.com/video/8ZNJBOhY5Uw/v-deo.html If anyone is curious about it, watch this on-board video of a ship navigating over a Tsunami. Because it's a sea level rise and not a wall/wave, the ship doesn't instantly fall down to normal sealevel. It might look like it's falling but it's just the ship leveling it's self "on top" of the Tsunami. The Tsunami in the video looks slow but it's actually fast
Vajont was coused by a big part of mountain that fell in a deep artificiale lake in italian alps. The wave went over the dam and a few towns got cancelled from the maps. Don't know if it was actualy that tall
@@soulalchemist387 Yeah and in a hurricane you should leave the house and stay in the middle of the street because it obviously only targets buildings lol
For anyone interested, these wave "heights" are based on what's called their run up height, which is basically how far above sea level the wave reaches once onshore. This doesn't mean that the faces of the waves are their peak heights when they reach the shoreline, it means that they reach their "height" inland at a certain altitude above regular sea level. This is why tsunamis that hit places that slowly increase in altitude geographically are much more deadly than ones which hit mountainous coastal terrain, as the water will travel much farther inland before it reaches It's run up height or "wave height"
What's worse is that so many cities we're built from settlements on the coast so there's like a million different cities hecould have chosen that would make sense
For me it's the water rush out. Kids and families having a fun beach day. Staring curiously at the missing water... unknowingly guarenteeing their deaths by waiting there. And then the wave comes in quick... just like the fear in their final moments.
@eolf wolf yeah, it's a tsunami that happened in 1963 in Italy, basically the engineers built a dam between two mountains, but they were too fragile and when an avalanche hit the lake the level of the water rose suddenly and it caused the water to flood in the near village, killing more than 2000 people. Sad story.
This guy’s logic: “what do you do during a tsunami? Go underground?” Yes if you want to be flooded and drown to death, that’s what you do. No, seriously, you climb the highest elevation you can find, such as the rooftop of a very strong building, or a mountain.
Because there's always a mountain next to the ocean. What you do is die. It moves to fast. Its too strong. Either you were safe from it to begin with or you die.
@@josemite6076or you just get to the top of a very strong and sturdy building, like OC said, most of the time there is ample warning too, it’s just people are too stubborn and stay in the bottom floor of their shoddely built houses
@@SeanMacadelic you act like those are always in an abundance. Or you're close enough to. You're saying the ideal scenario. The world doesn't function that way. Those waves move in fast, they hit hard. If you're in one you hope for the best and expect the worst. You aren't the hero of your story.
@@josemite6076 yes it moves fast, that's why people who are close to the sea is taught the signs of tsunami, for them to know that it is coming. The most well known one is the receding of the sea, if you see the see receding find somewhere tall, thats that.
@@josemite6076 Dude now says we have phones and they send a message to every person living where That tsunami is about to appear 1-2 days before it happens
This dude is a genius. He just says dumb stuff to get people commenting on how dumb he is but in reality it's just targeting the algorithm to keep suggesting his videos and thus getting more views.
For anyone who doesn’t know, in the event of a Tsunami flee to elevated areas. Preferably areas that have a way out in the event of the entrance or anything below you becoming blocked off.
What are you expecting? A detailed explanation how the water molecules work together to make a giant wall of water flushing through the air at 200 mph?
Interestingly, the largest tsunami on this list only resulted in 5 casualties, as it happened in Lituya Bay, Alaska which is almost completely unpopulated.
That's not enterly correct there is footage of some tsunami waves arcing especially the Indonesia tsunami hitting the beach, approaching the coast it actually gained in size as a normal surf wave and then drops and then what follows is what you mention. But yeah most of other areas were just more like a flood like.
Depends what causes the tsunami. Ie) the tallest one at the end was from a glacier breaking and splashing into the ocean. This makes one large wave... Vs a tsunami from an earthquake which shifts massive amounts of water a few meters. But with megatonnes of force behind it
@@HumanGorillaHormone bitch don't kill my vibe...... I'm just playing its true though. Earthquake quake waves are ripples displacement of the water from which the area was affected.
Uhh not to offend you or smtn but he asked if should you go underground when there is a tsunami and didnt state that you should go under but ngl that question was dumb asfuck
The second biggest one, the Vajont, gets me everytime. That happened in Italy. Ruthless people built a dam without taking proper safety check in a paradisiac mountain area in northern Italy. After a heavy rain, an enormous piece of a hill crush dawn and create a tremendous wave that killed the whole town on the valley below. And the fun not fun part is - the dam in still there, perfectly fine, like the day it was built. It's still a dead place, the only thing standing a church bell tower in the middle of mud and silence.
I live near to the Vajont, the worst things is see the valley from a High place. You can see the difference hight between the valley behind the wall (full of soil, the big hole into the mountains and under that a little hill with the rest of the landslide) and between tha part after the wall were if you see the vegetation line you can see the size of the wave: the part were you can see only rock or a young vegetation is the part distroyed by the wave.
I just watched ‘The Impossible’ (about the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami) and that movie wrecked me. I can’t believe, as one of the smaller waves shown, it caused that much destruction!
The way the waves are shown is wrong. Really big waves don't break like that, (unless it's a "megatsunami" but those are totally different beasts caused by large amounts of stuff falling into the water rather than something moving under the water and the breaking waves don't travel far. *Think the other side of a fjord, or across a bay if a cliff falls into the water*)
The 2004 tsunami IS one of the biggest tsunamis on this list. This video shows a really bad representation of what a real tsunamis look like. Tsunamis created in deep ocean gets hundreds of kilometer long, but very often not that tall. The true power of a tsunami is from the sheer amount of water that rushes in at high speeds, not the height.
Him: “You just go underground?” To answer your question going underground would be the opposite actually of what you should do! When a tsunami hits the main priorities are to get as far away from the tsunami and as high off the ground that you can! I hope this was helpful!
There were people that went on vacation to the place where the tsunami happened. But when it was happening, they were diving, and when they’re back, they realized that something happened because they found out that was different. Only after got out of the water is that they understood that a tsunami happened.

I was in the Navy and I will say one of the scariest things to look at is the ocean at night. My first deployment was on a carrier (CVN 73), and when I went out for a smoke at night I never leaned over the rails. On rough nights seeing that black dark rolling abyss made people think twice about goofing off near the rails.
my dad said there were a couple of times where they had missing crew. which probably went overboard and swallowed by the sea, scary stuff
Am I the only person that finds staring at rough sea at night kinda hypnotic and enticing in a dark, tempting way? I have to force myself away because the fear I might jump in is strong. (And no, I'm not depressed or anything!)
@@littleboots9800 I think that's called the call of the void, and it's why people go so deep into caves
@@bau9894 he is not lying. Although in 2002 (my first deployment) we had people that would throw chemlights in the ocean at night for fun. Not fun for everyone else, because we usually worked shifts and people sleeping had to get up every time someone threw chemlights in the water. This caused a man overboard event, and nobody went back to sleep until everyone (5000+ ppl) were accounted.
@Tyler Storck Thanks but I mainly went in to see if I could make it on my own and not under my parents care. I will say carrier deployments can have their fun moments. Ask your dad how much the Navy guys disliked the marines when they rode on board. They always took up the gym spaces. They also made the chow lines longer 🤣
Hi from Japan, I guess everyone knows already but difference between bigwave and Tsunami (at least in Japanese) is that big wave is like a single wall of wave like in the video. Tsunami is when the whole sea level rise by that much.
Imagine a sea level suddenly rising 20m.

If anyone is curious about it, watch this on-board video of a ship navigating over a Tsunami.
Because it's a sea level rise and not a wall/wave, the ship doesn't instantly fall down to normal sealevel. It might look like it's falling but it's just the ship leveling it's self "on top" of the Tsunami.

@@ChadHellgado Grow gills duh
@@soulalchemist387 Yeah and in a hurricane you should leave the house and stay in the middle of the street because it obviously only targets buildings lol
For anyone interested, these wave "heights" are based on what's called their run up height, which is basically how far above sea level the wave reaches once onshore. This doesn't mean that the faces of the waves are their peak heights when they reach the shoreline, it means that they reach their "height" inland at a certain altitude above regular sea level. This is why tsunamis that hit places that slowly increase in altitude geographically are much more deadly than ones which hit mountainous coastal terrain, as the water will travel much farther inland before it reaches It's run up height or "wave height"
Thank you.
I was wondering how a wave could
possibly maintain a face of a hundred meters never mind 500.
Thanks for the info brother
It's really interesting!
Yeah since they come from oceans, their peak height isn't what they start with. It depends on the current or how the ocean is.

Tsunamis don't arc like a wave does. It looks more like a water plateau coming at you.
That's not enterly correct there is footage of some tsunami waves arcing especially the Indonesia tsunami hitting the beach, approaching the coast it actually gained in size as a normal surf wave and then drops and then what follows is what you mention. But yeah most of other areas were just more like a flood like.
I'd imagine some do, but even then, it seems much easier to compare sizes like this.
One of the most disappointing things I ever learned growing up was that tsunamis don’t arc like they do in catastrophe movies
Depends what causes the tsunami. Ie) the tallest one at the end was from a glacier breaking and splashing into the ocean. This makes one large wave... Vs a tsunami from an earthquake which shifts massive amounts of water a few meters. But with megatonnes of force behind it

The second biggest one, the Vajont, gets me everytime. That happened in Italy. Ruthless people built a dam without taking proper safety check in a paradisiac mountain area in northern Italy. After a heavy rain, an enormous piece of a hill crush dawn and create a tremendous wave that killed the whole town on the valley below. And the fun not fun part is - the dam in still there, perfectly fine, like the day it was built.
It's still a dead place, the only thing standing a church bell tower in the middle of mud and silence.
I live near to the Vajont, the worst things is see the valley from a High place.
You can see the difference hight between the valley behind the wall (full of soil, the big hole into the mountains and under that a little hill with the rest of the landslide) and between tha part after the wall were if you see the vegetation line you can see the size of the wave: the part were you can see only rock or a young vegetation is the part distroyed by the wave.

Watch 2012
The way the waves are shown is wrong. Really big waves don't break like that, (unless it's a "megatsunami" but those are totally different beasts caused by large amounts of stuff falling into the water rather than something moving under the water and the breaking waves don't travel far. *Think the other side of a fjord, or across a bay if a cliff falls into the water*)
The 2004 tsunami IS one of the biggest tsunamis on this list. This video shows a really bad representation of what a real tsunamis look like. Tsunamis created in deep ocean gets hundreds of kilometer long, but very often not that tall. The true power of a tsunami is from the sheer amount of water that rushes in at high speeds, not the height.
It is also worth noting that the tallest wave on this list was likely not that tall. The water just rushed up terrain with a height of 500m+
