What?! I said the Hindenburg not Otisburg! By the way how many megatonnes are these otisburgs? If they're bigger than a Hindenburg then it must be seriesly hugh!! Keepin' my beebers stuned! Later....
Don't forget the SUCK BACK phenomenon. Before a tsunami strikes, the water level draws back like a massive outflowing tide, in just a matter of minutes. Curious onlookers have actually walked out onto suddenly dry harbor bottoms, only to be engulfed by the oncoming wall of water. If you ever see the ocean suddenly rushing out for no apparant reason, that is your signal to run as fast as possible for high ground!
Probably only need to go several kilometres inland.
Krakotoa blew up and out of its vent. This is different, it is a vast landslide. Keep in mind the wall of the island/volcano is underwater for about a mile or so to the floor of the ocean.
I have been in Hawaii, where the seal floor reveals that this type of thing has happened many times over the history of those islands.
The problem is, that you would have to be towed into it by a G5 to make the take-off.
Do you know anyone that has a G5?
At least it would slow down wild congressional deficit spending, something that seems to require an act of God. And it might rid us of about half the worst federal judges and most trial lawyers.
Gotta look for that silver lining...
Google 'otisburg superman'
Which kind? The OTISBURG model?
Why is this being brought up again now? This was news in 2001.

Sweet! Which means I'll live! :D
In your article it says the wave would be 150 feet high.... much smaller than 2000 meters high.
Memorable Quotes from Superman (1978)
[pointing to a map of California and the San Andreas Fault] Lex Luthor: Everything west of this line is the richest, most expensive real estate in the world: San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco.
Everything on THIS side of the line is just hundreds and hundreds of miles of worthless desert land, which just so happens to be owned by... [Whaps Otis with his pointer]
Otis: Uhhh... Lex Luthor Incorporated. Lex Luthor: Now, call me foolish, call me irresponsible, it occurs to me that a 500 megaton bomb planted at just the proper point would, uh... Superman: Would destroy most of California. Millions of innocent people would be killed. And the west coast as we know it would-...
Lex Luthor: Fall into the sea. Lex Luthor: [Gives a little wave with his hand] Bye-bye, California. Hello, new west coast. My west coast. [Otis overlays map with new map]
Lex Luthor: Costa Del Lex. Luthorville. Marina del Lex. Otisburg... Otisburg? Otis: Miss Tessmacher, she's got her own place. Lex Luthor: Otisburg? Otis: It's a little bitty place. Lex Luthor: [Angrily] Otisburg? Otis: Okay, I'll just wipe it off, that's all. Just a little town. [Erases Otisburg]
Make ya homesick for Arizona? ;-)

Therese Heinz-Kerry has TWO Gulfstreams.
It's happened before, it will happen again.
Probably a bridle arrangement between the wingtips with a half-mile lead to the dragee. Also would recommend a grab-hook for connecting up with the well bungeed dragee. Piece o' cake. Good luck ol' bean!
