  • I don't know how any one who lives near the east coast sleeps at night.

  • As long as it hits jersey shore...

    

  • im soo scared :(

  • Dammit.

  • Whats up with all these shows using the matrix soundtrack lol

  • And how likely is it that such catastrophs will happen?

  • @TommyKimball1 WAY up.

  • I think they stole the musci from the matrix

  • No wonder the price of real estate has dropped so much in Miami.

  • Im going to die anyway from this wave might aswell try and surf it :D

  • Here is what I say:

    Is it scary? Yes. This is very scary.

    But, if it happens, it HAPPENS. There's no stopping it, and there is nothing we can do about it.

  • This isn't fear mongering, its to try and get people out of their fantasy world where they think they are immune to natural disasters.

  • More BBC fear mongering. I don't believe any of it.

  • This is not a normal tsunami warning, this is putting fear into people. A single message would have done the job "please visit some friends or family more land inwards just in case"

    But no, drama, totally unrealistic mega tsunami's 3000 miles across the ocean, new york entirely under water,

    Just fearful imagination that misleadingly effects many people triggering panic reactions. Very provocative.

  • @asjemenouja Like it or not, a tsunami on that scale would put NYC entirely under water. It is YOUR imagination. YOU are in control of it. Are you cattle that exhibits a fear reflex or are you a human who is in control of his thoughts and emotions and takes in data and then decides what he will do? Sure, they could have put up a short 2 sentence statement and left it at that but who would pay attention? You control your thoughts or someone else will. Your decision.

  • @asjemenouja This is paranoia, not science. There's nothing "immanent" about it.

  • Nice place to visit....The beach side, no need to live on it:)

  • Matrix OST ?

  • horaaay for central nc :D

  • Well, crime in Miami would decrease overnight.

  • @rm911medic lol

  • 2:35 =D

  • im sacred!!

  • DAMN! I LIVE IN THE FUCKING EAST COAST! FUCK!

  • Anyone else wana get a beach side property be my guest

  • ...and yet less has been invested in the study that is spent on one "fake terrorism" drill to defend against fake war that is created out of the same tax purse most often,

    ~by their own accounting admissions

    =least the weather modification terrorist set sites on La Palma, or a GLOBALZIONest with a suit case nuke box cutter or even ruptured propane tanker infected with stuxnet or blown aground in a storm in that basin; "sush now" don't blow the insane safety delusion ride, you'll wake the sheep

  • Religeously speaking. Many prophets have prophecized there will be major tsnumamis happening in the USA. Also New York, East Coast. I believe it too. If you don't take measures and precautions or immigrate that they are in trouble. NWO or nature disaster USA is f-ed -__-

  • @royalsteven Ya I've heard about some of those prophecies and stuff like major disaster that will split USA in half or something, not trying to scare anyone. I live in Canada but on the east side so I'm hoping we don't get any of the side affects

  • it might happen but not likely to happen grappenhall it might happen but i dont think it will and plus im safe were i am now.

  • What proof do they have for such a event if i am correct and i may not be was he talking from tenerife

  • at least ill see some surf !

    

  • Dud County, Miami Floriduh - "You can't spell Floriduh without Duh!" Dave Barry

  • @samsamgurl418 So do I what state do you live in?

  • Comment removed

  • oh man... now I'm gonna have bad dreams tonight...

  • dont think of mother nature as a raging mean thing remember mother nature gives us flowers sun butefulness(think i spelled it wrong) and calm night

  • mega tsunami fukin hell that'l be the day lol

  • After we saved Europe's asses in WW2 this is how they repay us?

  • dam nature you scary

  • i like how we know this but yet nothing is being done about it....typical government response to disasters

  • @dragon3877 You can't fight mother nature... it's all a part of life, gotta live with it

  • this is nothing if u compare it to huge meteor hitting the sea ...

  • @snaforfun this is nothing? do you have any idea how many life's will get wiped out if this happens.

  • @modernOdigitus I said "if u compare it to meteor hitting the sea"

    if a land slide hit the sea from 100m above .. then how about hundred of km above that HUGE energy ...

    2012 is near and we should PLAN for that .. but the governments are doing NOTHING and waging war agains fake terrorism to steal people oil ...

    why NO one is talking about 2012 or preparing for it ... its NEAR very NEAR ..

  • @snaforfun  ur pussy for beliving that

  • @wafflez02 2012 alot will change in the solar system and it is not predictable ... a meteor hit is a possibility and no one is preparing ... and it is not about Mayan Myths or so or end of the world .. it is about Astronomical facts coming in 2012 ... a small unexpected "rock" ..

  • @snaforfun So, if the government are doing all these terrible things...and the world is going to end in 2012...then...why are you on youtube?

  • @euyfdvfhj no one said the world will end in 2012 .. but there is a huge possibility of Major catastrophe and they are not preparing to it. I dont believe it is the end .. but something like all coastal cities will be destroyed around the world... and thats hundred of millions of people...

  • @snaforfun Still....why are you on youtube then?

  • @euyfdvfhj having fun ... you ?

  • @snaforfun Go on, answer my question ; enlighten me.

  • @euyfdvfhj what question ?

  • @snaforfun Why are you on youtube if terrible things will happen in 2012? Shouldn't you be warning people?

  • @euyfdvfhj zzzz I didnt say it WILL happen , I said it Might Happen. and Governments should be building shelters and preparing for it (food and water supplies for hundred of millions) in case it happens ... this is not in my hands .. I am just one man.. and costs billions and no one cares .. they just care to put the billions in wars ... stupidity.

  • @snaforfun So, you changed your argument, AND you think that the government should spend billions on something that youtube conspiracy theorists such as yourself say....MIGHT happen ; Based on a catastrophe Movie. *FACEPALM*

  • @euyfdvfhj what movie u idiot JUNK .. and I didnt change anything you RETARD

    here is a quote that i said

    alot will change in the solar system and it is not predictable ... a meteor hit is a possibility and no one is preparing ...

    I allways said Possible

    you are just a junk bastard who wanna show off

    BEAT it trashcan

  • @snaforfun The 2012 movie. You first implied that the world was going to end in 2012, then you changed your argument when I criticised you. You complete moron...

  • @euyfdvfhj shut up bastard .. I never said that the world will end . and i never mentioned the movie as u said.

    you are an ignorant retard. I said 2012 YEAR ... I didnt mention the MOVIE AT ALL. u filthy anumal show me where i said anything about the movie

  • @snaforfun I didn't say you said it, but the whole 'world will end in 2012' was from that terrible movie ; hence I figured that you either got the idea from the movie, got it from someone else from the movie...OR you're just an incredibly stupid fuckwit. -I think the last one suits you better.

  • @euyfdvfhj oh just stop it, you're just argueing for the sake of argueing..trying to compare intelligence or some shit. i guess its how people get a rush nowadays..lol jeez lighten up alittle (and play nice!)

  • @DylanP355 I'm disproving stupid conspiracy theorists.

  • @euyfdvfhj i see pardon me for my assumption, my appologies. they say the planets will line up on 2012 lol i wanna get a telescope

  • @DylanP355 I think you need to have a powerful one, to see further and more clearly...they can be expensive ;(

  • @euyfdvfhj yea theres always a catch lol

  • WHY CAN'T WE ALL STAY ON MOUNT EVEREST?!

  • @lueljohn I'll meet you there!

  • @ScrumptiousNoodles12 I don't know.

  • Put some 1000 M.T. Of Steal on the 20KM Length of mountain. this will prevent it. Or not.

  • If this happens 30 million would drone in their cars as they are stuck on the interstate

  • this comes,at least in the next 50 years,we shall fear of nature,we have destroy nature a lot,so we are going to pay

  • The end of all things (at least on the east coast).

  • lol ya in a billion years maybe

    

  • @ 2:39 eep glad i dont live in america

  • i dont want to diee!!!! IM so scared . I live in nj i dont want to dieee..

  • i want those windows 2:39

  • @CrazeXe Lol BEACHED WHALE

  • Thumps up if you hate me and my guts.

    This is not happening soon and the rocks will fall slowly and by small pieces so you don't worry.

    Personally I am buying a house on Mt. Everest and a helicopter.

    Screw all of you

    Actually the best thing to do is go in the middle of the ocean. You won't feel the waves.

  • FIRST:I bet the tsunami is a bunch of bull-And secound of all,WHO EVEN DOES GO TO THE OCEAN TO TAKE A LOOK?

  • @darksword793 The people who really never experienced anything like that before so they didn't whether to think it was dangerous or completely natural, And plus they were already at the beach it's not like they heard about it then went to go take a look now thats dumb but those people were already out at the beach

  • I live near the middle of the UK so I will be fine =D lol

  • It makes it so much more epic that they use the Matrix soundtrack as backing music.

  • holly shoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooot

  • Humans can solve all problems in the world, instead we ignore them. It seems far more important to make money then a good future. A disaster have to strike first or we have to push something to the very max before we understand that we have to do something about it. Regular people are so un-educated....

  • Every single city on the east coat of the Americas from St. John's Newfoundland to the Coast of Brasil and the Caribbean would be wiped off the map.

    Even in the Gulf Coast mayby 50 foot tidal waves. As it would probably pass right over Florida.

    The Amazon would look like a large sea all the way to Ecuador.

  • I bet Chuck Norris can fix this

  • whys the fuckin camera moving

  • it already passed, didnt hit europe but it did it japan like this.

  • at 2:38 ur just like oh its just the ocean and than at 2:39 u realize a mega tsunami

    is hitting you

  • WtF are we waiting for!? Someone grab a bunch of TNT's 'n' blow those cliff's off! xP!

  • wait chuck norris =D

  • bye bye america.......

    jks

  • with the tsunami travelling across the atlantic wouldn't the wave get slower ??

  • @jasperishot99 No.

    Generally a tsunami doesn't slow down before it reaches a coastline, it may look like a normal wave or nothing at all in the middle of the atlantic. When it comes closer to the shore it becomes larger... Sheesh... O.e

  • water sucks

  • the best parts at 2:40 where somehow that enormous wave hits a building without knocking it down so that we can see inside of it. really brings together the realism of the video.

  • why dont people prepare in case of tsunami ?

  • yo dude i would like so totally hang ten on that bad boy then go get some shakes down at the max with my hot bitch kelly

  • It's bullshit, we have seen 2 tsunamis since this was made and its the same principle, wave will break away from the shore then arrive as a foamy wall.... In the animation it arrives at the beach and it hasn't even broken! And these guys are experts and approving of this! Such a simple thing glorified, we must assume the rest is too.

  • 2:37 - 2:46 Jesus...

  • i guess finally living in shit staes like kansas would finaaly pay off

  • @sk8ter4life5407 "Toto, I dont think were in Kansas anymore. Now were gon die, damn it."

  • @sk8ter4life5407 but the economic catastrophe this would create might make you wish you had died in the tsunami right off the bat

  • @sondano Would the economic state be any worse than it is now nation after nation are in mountains of debt as it is uk is in turmoil greece on the point of collapse no prospects t b h death seems more of an option its the youngsters i feel sorry for they have no future

  • Comment removed

  • Respond to this video... oh yes it could be much much worse for one thing it would destroy Sweden's economy too which is doing pretty well nowadays. :)

  • what would u give to see a mega tsunami going into a vulcano?

  • I would die before the tsunami ht me cause i'd see it crap myself at such a rapid rate the water would be extracted from every cell in my body within in 5 seconds resulting in my death

  • Hey retards of europe! if you know about this shit why dont you do something about it? because you are lazy? Seriously if you want to help lives atleast start building a wall or something! thumbs up so they can see!

  • @chadthomas889

    Sure! Just sent as ten million tons of superglue, and we'll fix this for you! ;D

    Btw, what about that yellowstone supervolcano of yours? Need fixing with that one too?

  • @chadthomas889

    Sure! Just send us 10 000 000 tons of superglue, and we'll fix that nasty island for you, no charge! ;D

    And what about that yellowstone supervolcano that will render half of your country uninhabitable if it goes off? need fixing with that one too?

  • thumbs up if you are watching this video because of japan's earthquake

  • @belgvr who the fuck cares really , you ppl are annoying

  • that was totally the matrix soundtrack right there

  • @TroubleMaker4625 Technically the Cannary islands are African, but belongs to Spain so they are "European". It is like Madeira Islands, they are in Afirca but they belong to Portugal. Or Falklands islands in South America, but european because they belong to UK.

  • In this case of Mega-tsunami, America will not suffer so much! America have 8 hours to rescue millions. I think it is enough time to prevent millions of deaths. In the other side, Portugal has less than 2 hours to rescue 7.6 million people living in the coast line (including me)!! And Morocco has less time to rescue so many too... and people living in Caribbean islands don't have any chance! What a catastrophe!!!

  • @alegiaodarazao Do you not keep up on current events? For your (and the rest of Portugal's sake), I hope your government is more organized and less bureacratical than the US government. I'm a proud American, but our government is not known for it's efficiency and rapidity in response when faced with disaster.

  • love the way they made the wave seem like a serial killer

  • WHAT ABOUT CANADA?

  • @BeezillaB4U Well, I think we could pretty much just kiss the maritimes goodbye :(

  • @BeezillaB4U Well, I think we could pretty much just kiss the maritimes goodbye. There would also be a rush up the St Lawrence, perhaps flooding parts of Montreal or even further

  • how far up the coast would this go in the NYC area? D:

  • this looks like a trailer to a film lol

  • Near the end, they show high rises with calm water several? stories high. Duh! . . . it will settle back.

  • Stand behind Charlie Sheen and hope for the best.

  • ohio ftw

  • Mega Tsunami won't happen. If this were true, Chile would've been hit with a massive tsunami as a result of Japan earthquake.

  • @manganzon23 no, this was a tsunami (aka created by an earthquake), they are talking about a wave that would have been created by millions of tons of land falling in the water (as happened in a "smaller" scale in Alaska

  • aww maaaaan i live in joisey

  • i'd just stand behind jesus, bruce lee, and chuck norris

  • These people have almost nothing but speculation about what might happen to support this whole alarm scenario. There has not been one of these within recorded history; I think they ignore a lot of engineering, mainly about how a landslide like this would couple with an ocean to create really deep ocean Rayleigh waves. They ignore the effect of 4000 miles of 2D scattering and damping. None of them are engineers. That ridiculously small rock-box experiment has been extrapolated out of all meaning.

  • @puncheex Yes there has been many of these within recorded history. Lituya Bay, Alaska, 1958: Landslide caused by an earthquake made a megatsunami 1,700 feet high, the highest ever recorded.

    1963 Italy, wave 820 feet high went over Vajont Dam and destroyed villages below. Also the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption landslide into Spirit Lake made a megatsunami 853 feet high.

  • @OlderG0ds: Oh, I'm convinced that tsunamis in an enclosed water space can be devastating. The Lituya Bay demonstrated that, but it also demonstrated that once the water entered the deep ocean just outside the bay the waves damped down to less than three feet high. In this case an area the size of the Black Sea might be considered enclosed; the sheer volume of water is not that great.

  • @puncheex You realize there was around a 1000 foot megatsunami in Alaska about 50 years ago right?

  • @LeBrickLames : You think maybe the references above about Lituya Bay was just a coincidence? Of course there was a 500 meter wave inside the bay as a result of a landslide. You can google it and find all sorts of geological conjecture and even models that show what happened.  The point is that extending that model to a landslide into the deep ocean, at least as simplified as it is in the BBC SuperTsunami program, is full of scientific & engineering holes.

  • @puncheex

    You're right. I read the megatsunami will "just" be about 60 feet high when it reaches the US east coast - but still, that's more than enough to cause insane amounts of damage and death.

    The TV guys always like to overdo fearful predictions, that's part of their job.

  • @AustrianChaos: That is a sheer guess. There is no way to know if that is even a possibility.

  • @puncheex

    Well, anyways, I sure hope we are *NOT* going to find out the actual height.

  • @AustrianChaos Also, 60 feet sounds way more than enough to rip apart coastal nuclear stations (are there?) and destroy the Atlantic ocean with radiations.

  • clean out all of the undesirables in New York, could be a good thing! Would it get the Crown Heights?

  • I'm that much happier to live In Canada :)

  • What is the music when the virtual wave hits the shore? Thanks.

  • @SIRELDO999 It's from the soundtrack of "The Matrix" - the scene near the end where Neo picks a bullet out of the air - but I don't know the name of the track itself.

  • Ive dont it

  • youtube.com/watch?v=c3Q8XoyzVa­A

  • Would lyman Maine be hit

  • @BIOSHOCK456 probally, maybe not, but im fucked lol

  • que?

  • This bullsht cause those buildings wouldn't even be able to stay up from that stupid big tsunami

  • theyre saying that this would happen in the future. am i the only one thinking to prevent the fucking rock from sliding here? i swear people are retarded....BULID A FUCKING WALL OR STAKE THE LAND DOWN SO IT DOESN SLIDE INTO THE OCEAN....not rocket science fellas

  • @DizZl3d Seriously, STAKE THE LAND DOWN TO THE LOWER PART OF THE LAND! That way, the top part of the land is staked to the bottom part, so it won't slide down! Unless the bottom slides out too... Well, then, STAKE THE BOTTOM PART OF THE LAND TO AN EVEN LOWER PART OF THE LAND!

  • @DizZl3d: Great joke, man. Just don't quit your day job.

  • ...did he just say, across the atlantic toward the coast of the americas?

  • @Bethalaine The Atlantic is between the Americas and Europe. The Pacific is the one between the Americas and Asia.

  • OH MY GOD

  • instead of just driving away to other cities, they can pack thousands on boats to head out to the sea to avoid danger and traffic jams. dividing people up will dave many lives

  • Bring it bitch :P I'm in maine and Ill still live. Ill steal a helicopter.

  • This needs to happen. Nature needs to keep progressing. x.x

  • bull

  • 2:38

  • yay @matrix soundtrack abuse

  • lol they used a matrix soundtrack..

  • my god! :O sure wouldn't like to live in eastern america, honestly though, Britain always seems to dodge this kind of shit..considering we're an island aswell, sure hope it won't come this way :/

  • Can they not start mining the island ?

    Just ask the Spanish government if they mind if we flatten their island.

  • id just get in my mini sub!

  • @rotoman2002 lol youd be swept to the ocean floor and the sub would implode ...... but who am i to say you shouldnt do that

  • @rotoman2002 and when your special mini sub hits the buildings you'll go splat ^_^
