In 1958, an earthquakeinduced rockslide into Lituya Bay (Alaska) carried and pushed water up to an elevation of 523 meters. This splash is often referred to as the "World's Biggest Tsunami". Whether splash or tsunami, the Lituya Bay landslide and wave are remarkable geophysical events. This movie is a physicsbased simulation of these happenings as constrained by the best available information. See a scientific paper here...
