This was the biggest wave ever recorded in all of history.
And scientists are worried it could happen again...
The biggest wave ever recorded was documented in Lituya Bay, in the southeast of Alaska, when an earthquake triggered a series of events that resulted in a mega tsunami. History and science books consider it to be the largest tsunami of modern times.
On July 9th, 1958, at 10:15PM, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake caused a rock slide of around 40 million cubic yards in the Gilbert Inlet. Rocks, glaciers, and other debris fell from an altitude of approximately 3,000 feet, and the consequences were brutal.
The event resulted in the highest wave in recorded history. The mega tsunami itself measured 300 feet high, but the following breaking wave became much bigger. As the giant mountain of water traveled across the entire length of Lituya Bay, it reached a peak height of 1,720 feet near the Gilbert Inlet, then destroyed everything around it.

    • nope you’re wrong! The wave directly hit a steep hillside, it’s not gonna push water up a steep hillside, the wave has to peak ON the hillside and it literally imprinted itself on the hill the peak and angle of decline is well documented you can see diagrams based on the washed up tree line showing the exact shape of the wave with half of the hillside washed out

And yes water moving extremely fast from rockfall causing a giant wave can absolutely move up toward a steep hillside. Do you have any idea how fast that water was moving?

    • @@BrainFuck10 “Fritz was the lead author of a study published in 2009 in the journal Pure and Applied Geophysics that recreated the Lituya Bay tsunami using a specialized 1:675 scale laboratory tank mimicking the shape of the bay. The team found that the maximum height of the wave responsible for leveling the trees was around 492 feet (150 m) tall, which makes it taller than any wave crest recorded on Earth.” So it was a 500 foot wave. And the wave then crashed into the opposite side of the shore and the run up from the wave went as high as 1720 feet up the tree line. This information is so easy to find for free I actually can’t believe you would write a long post telling me I’m wrong when you could quite literally just use google.

  • Fun fact - there are actually 2 survivors who made it out alive from that wave. Dunno if they're still alive today but they were about 20 years ago when the son gave his testimony. Long story short it was a father and his son who were on their fishing boat in the middle of that bay and they were lucky in that the 1000 foot wave - yes you heard that right, their little boat was lifted up close to 1000 feet above sea level. Luckily they were deep enough in the Bay where the waved lifted them and travelled underneath them sparing their life. Imagine how trippy an experience like that must have been being lifted up that high on a boat.

A father and son were fishing from a boat, settled down for the night and then it happened. “Son, start praying,” the father said. They survived- tore off the anchor chain as the wave took the boat skywards and they ended, still on the boat, up in the forest on the slope of one of the mountains of the bay inlet. No bullshit. All true. Not sure how they got the boat back down again into the water afterwards 😂😂 But, joking aside, absolutely true.

  • From what I understand and from what I had read, that 1720 feet peak in height was achieved when the massive landslide caused by the earthquake slammed into the bay, and the wave itself was realistically around a hundred feet tall or so, basically, imagine the bay is a bathtub, filled with water, when you hop in, there is a tiny or average sized wave created, (in comparison, maybe 1-4 lego figures tall to make it more understandable.) Now imagine that there were people in the bathtub, very tiny people. And to them, every 2 lego figures is around 900-1000 feet tall. I will try to make a simpler explanation, when you slam your hand into a body of water, you can see the splash of water everywhere, imagine the body water is the Lituya Bay, your hand is the landslide, the small splash created, is the initial wave. Basically something like that. Edit: In the most simplest terms possible, the 1720 feet was due to the splash. Not the actual wave itself.

While fishing on their boat, they heard a thundering boom towards the mountain, which was part of the mountain collapsing into the lake, seconds later all they saw was a massive wall of water heading towards their boat. Next thing they knew, they were picked up by the crest and started to head out to sea. They were so high, the anchor chain snapped off. Would've been awesome had they caught this event on film?

    • I wonder if that really was a "natural" disaster. This period of history had frantic black budget, secret next-gen weapons research and testing going on all the time. This was an era where military intelligence in multiple countries were coming to full realization that things like electromagnetic superweapons and human psychic potential were not only real, but fully, secretly exploitable. Today, weather warfare and tectonic weapons are a long-established reality that the peoples of the world continue to ignore, but these are not modern weapons at all. I expect this period of record-breaking "natural" disasters was really a period of rich EM weapon experimentation and the subsequent effects. Or, I guess one can continue to believe that record-breaking storms, droughts, floods, disasters, high temps, low temps, and weather that likes to selectively target food production, year after year after year... is all just crazy "nature". Sometimes when you're surrounded by and looking at "crazy" day after day after year after year, it behooves us to step back sometimes and say "Constant crazy is by definition not normal: time to investigate."

  • Me and my captain anchored in lituya bay with several other fishing boats in 1987. We were waiting for a bad storm out on the gulf to blow over. The scar the tsunami left on the mountain side is ominous. The bottom of the bay also opened up and closed abruptly as well, which helped to produce the massive wave. Only one man and his son survived when that happened. The wave swept their fishing vessel over the top of Cenotaph Island and swamped them out in the gulf. It was probably one of the most nerve racking three day of my life. We were on the fv new day

  • Interstellar was the last movie I've seen at a theater. Cancer and several other incidents left me with what I assume is a kind of PTSD. Can't tolerate crowds, closed spaces, and panic attacks from nowhere. I used to think people were just exaggerating or needed just to get ahold of themselves. I can usually minimize it but when that cold terror overtakes and you pour sweet from head to toe. It just has to pass. I'm a 6 foot 1, over 200 lbs and fear was never a problem but this isn't fear, it's an irrational physical assault. This has nothing to do with the subject of tidal waves, the reference to the movie "INTERSTELLAR" reminded me of the last time I was able to see a movie. It helps to write it down. I didn't like Interstellar at all by the way. I understand that time is not always linear and most probably is a function of mass and gravity as Einstein theorized. Einstein said the universe is not just strange but stranger than we can imagine (paraphrased).The movie must have been totally confusing to most of the public. It just annoyed me with all the doors of possibility. It was like a night with no floor or walls to stand on or find your way out of. I'm an old man with a degree in science and a life long science fiction fascination. KZhead is a great place to keep your mind active especially when your old. Most people aren't intellectually curios so there's few if any to converse with. This allows me to talk to myself forming a narrative. I've always required little sleep and can work for long periods of time. I recently read there is a genetic cause for this. Like right now it's 3pm and I'll probably get a few hours sleep eventually and do it again. My wife of 40 years is not bothered by this to much, thankfully. I don't really care if anyone reads this or comments. Keeps a person focused. Nighty, night.

  • I remember watching the doc on the Discovery channel, their was a boat in the bay with a father and son. The son recalled his father throwing him a floater and telling him to say one last prayer. He said the anchor chain snapped like a twig then up they went. Amazingly they road the wave and were left hundreds of feet high in the mountains hill.

I think it was because the wave went through a narrowing so rose up much higher to 500 meters - which is about the 1700ft mentioned here. It is simply beyond comprehension what it must have been like and even more so they both lived to tell the tale!!!

    • The term "tidal wave" is misleading; even though a tsunami's impact upon a coastline is dependent upon the tidal level at the time a tsunami strikes, tsunamis are unrelated to the tides. (Tides result from the gravitational influences of the moon, sun, and planets.) The term "seismic sea wave" is also misleading.

    • False, the Gulf of Mexico near the Yucatán peninsula is relatively shallow. The Chicxulub impactor therefore only caused a tsunami ~100 m high.
