Sidebar — there was a landslide-induced tsunami in Alaska, Lituya Bay, in the late 1950s, which had eyewitnesses and even survivors — the debris line from that was over 1700 feet above sealevel.

I have seen at least two shows that included that tsunami. One was mostly about how they figured out what happened.

Probably on Discovery back in the late 1990’s or early 2000’s. Before they started airing a bunch of crap shows.

I had never heard about Lituya Bay.Here's an amazing story of some fisherman anchored in the Bay who somehow lived.
