That’s more like 66 feet, not 60.

People are stating rumor not facts. The worst CNN can do is stoke fear. The 1960 quake was a 9.5 and the wave height was no more than 13 feet in Hawaii....

A tsunami after the magnitude-9.5 quake that struck Chile in 1960, the largest earthquake ever recorded, killed about 140 people in Japan, 61 in Hawaii and 32 in the Philippines. That tsunami was about 3.3 to 13 feet (one to four meters) in height, Japan’s Meteorological Agency said.
