That’s cool.

It may also help to explain monster waves that are known to occur.

This event was a true “black swan”. The nuclear power plants were designed for a 15 foot wave, but they suffered a 45 foot wave in this case.

It makes the case that active safety systems in these plants are no match for a “black swan”.
