Here's hopin', eh Rooters?

[Brilliant]

It would have to be a very powerful explosion.

[Strategerist]

Well, at least they're mentioning the many scientists that disagree with the megatsunami scenario, now.

[2banana]

And muslim countries would send NOTHING to help us out...

That would be one way to get the UN out of the US

(McGuire) ranks tsunami risk as second only to global warming in the hazards facing the planet

Funny, the title mentions scientists, yet McGuire is the only person cited as a proponent of this doomsday scenario. This statement makes me question his credibility.

BTW, one day a giant earthquake will cause everythin east of the San Andreas fault to sink into the Atlantic.

Credibility vanishing act...

[BerniesFriend]

The scientists must be slipping..they forgot to add "It's Bush's fault!"..

[txroadhawg]

The sky is falling, the sky is falling

[Bassfire]

LOL!

[Hoodlum91]

This was on the news the other night. It makes sense that a landslide tsunami would be larger than an earthquake tsunami, but the chunk of land would have to be MASSIVE to trigger one.

The graphics they used on the news were pretty cool.

I live 400 ft above sea level near a hill that is another 300 ft. I'm cool. Beach Front Property.

I had no idea Flipper visited New Mexico. Wasn't that a red state?

[FlipWilson]

Cats and Dogs living together, total anarchy!!!!

"With coastlines massively built up now, particularly in developing countries, tsunami are a big problem because, unlike earthquakes, they transmit death and destruction across entire oceans," he said.

Plus, they happen CONSTANTLY, so we should not be thinking about anything else but the possiblity of huge tidal waves that are poised to strike Manhattan tomorrow.

[Dallas59]

It could happen. But it's only wishful thinking on the behalf of AL Reuters

[B.O. Plenty]

Well...the only thing we can surmise from this piece is that nobody knows. We will have to wait until it happens(or does not) to know for sure what will happen.

Until then....masticate, expectorate and speculate.

This statement of Bill McGuire's, which is the next to last in the article, erases any credibility he may have had. What a jerk...
