You'd have to use so many bombs you'd kill basicaly everything in the atlantic, and the wave would be fast enough that there would not be time enought for them to get there

EDIT: I remember watching a thing on discovery about this,

I'm telling you. Gigantic tampon. A GIGANPON if you will. A megapon, or perhaps a ultrapon 9000.

As far as I know... if a Tsunami hits the only way to know is with seismic readers on the bottom of the ocean... and a tsunami doesnt take much to pop up and fuck up anything... wasnt there a region of japan that was hit by a small Tidal wave couple years back and it made a shitload of corpses and water in the streets for months...?

Nothing really you can do but evacuate. Oh well. Maybe the scientist is wrong.

Good ole Southwest.

I live in Midwest. Nothing but a goddamn Chinese invasion is gettin' me.

They say people don't care enough. What can you do? Pour a few hundred billion dollars into some crackpot project to pull the island back up? Build a barrier where it'll fall to stop it from hitting the water?

Or better still, find some resource on this island and start mining. They'll disolve that thing in a couple years.

Same with super-eruptions and massive comet strikes. If it's gonna happen, we're fucked. Lots of people and animals will die, and we're gonna try to rebuild.

"Between nine and 12 hours after the island collapses, waves between 20 and 50 metres high will have crossed 4,000 miles of ocean to crash into the Caribbean islands and the eastern seaboard of the US and Canada. "

I doubt a 100 ft wave is going to be as cataclismic for the USA as some of you make it sound.

I live 3 miles from the atlantic and im not worried, not like there is anything I can do about it anyway.

But the thing is the Wave gets MUCH higher when it hits the beach becasue it no longer can wave so deep in the ocean, it could possibly level all of the skyscrapes that have nothing inbetween them and the waterfront, oethr than trees and other small thingys like houses. And all the water even if it didn't destry the buildings it would kill any electric things. Think about it Wallstreet would be under many feet of water, with the rest of manhattan. It would basicaly cripple the US.

eh? Don't know where you came up with that. 20-50 meters means 20-50 meters.

Be paranoid if you want, but even if it does happen, it wont be the end of the world.
