Los megatsunamis

❓ What is the maximum size of tsunamis? ✅ Tsunamis and megatsunamis: from Japan 2011 and the Indian Ocean 2004 to waves of 524 m in Alaska and 1.5 km after the asteroid in Yucatan. In this video, we explore the extent of a tsunami's impact when it ceases to be "just" a tsunami. We begin with two recent catastrophes that marked a turning point: Japan 2011, with waves up to 40.5 meters high, speeds close to 800 km/h, and an economic impact exceeding $300 billion after the nuclear meltdown; and the Indian Ocean 2004, the most devastating in terms of human lives, with approximately 228,000 victims and an earthquake so powerful it ruptured 1,300 km of fault line and shook the planet. From there, we enter the realm of megatsunamis: those caused by landslides, eruptions, or impacts. From Krakatoa and its waves up to 42 meters high to the human-caused disaster of Vajont, with a 250-meter wall of water; from Lituya Bay and its record-breaking 524-meter wave to prehistoric collapses like Molokai, with waves up to 610 meters high, and the Eltanin impact. And finally, the most extreme scenario: the Yucatán asteroid, linked to the extinction of the dinosaurs, and a megatsunami that reached over 1.5 kilometers in the Gulf of Mexico… raising the unsettling question of whether something like this could happen again, perhaps even from La Palma.
