This story is particularly haunting to me, with the visual of the woman trying to save her children.

Great series of posts.

Here is an interesting article that is worth a read Future Tsunami?

I should add that the island of Hawaii (the Big Island) is also susceptible to a landslide (from Kilauea volcano) much like the Cumbre Vieya Volcano. In fact, remnants of ancient landslide deposits are evident under the Ocean on the SE side of the island of Hawaii.

The problems are well known and in fact large tsunami are historically common. Indonesia suffered greatly from tsunami in 1815 and 1883 from waves generated by large volcanic eruptions and also from earthquake events in the area that have effected the entire region. This whole thing is very disturbing to me for a variety of personal and professional reasons. Will this event prompt some change? I think the answer is very little if any at all.

Thanks for posting the links. That said, I'm worried my machine will be overrun with porn spybots given the clips were posted to "the ADULT lost links - not safe for work" forum from who knows where [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I think you might be right about this.

Immediately after Cumbre Vieja's collapse, a dome of water 900 meters high and tens of kilometers wide will form, only to collapse and rebound.

Wonderfull.

Any clue as to when this will happen?

Years ago my mentor in an aerospace company told me "You need to face the fact that if you know a fire is likely to break out preventing it will do little for your career. Instead be ready with a bucket."

Somehow I believe his advice had some connection to the lack of organized warnings in the Indian Ocean.

Daryn, I change my mind about the whole moral thread. I'm still undecided, but I know it's never worth protecting idiots that won't listen to you. Although your logic may be different from mine, I think your were right in the end.

What is the thread title?

Actually Rick, I did not. I didn't have to; I already know what it will say in my 'mind's eye'. I have dealt with all this stuff before. It's too depressing to read about it yet again.
