Is there anything I am not supposed to keep myself awake at night stressing out about, sweating uncontrollably, so some group somewhere can study a problem that humans have no control over?

Liberals like to live on the coasts, Humanity's technology has finally evolved where a lot of infrastructure can easily survive INLAND.
Sounds like if we wait long enough Nature will take out Most the Trash for us.

This sort of a landslide has doubtless happened fairly often. Just think if Mount St Helens had been an island which experienced a sideways blast. That could have moves a lot of water.

Mt. St. Helens was a slope collapse. These guys are doing research that has already been done. I remember from more than 20 years ago reading Nat Geo articles that mirror this one. Same islands, same subject, better pictures.

I don’t believe an 800 ft high wave of water could last very long before collapsing.

"The researchers say an 800-foot wave engulfed an island more than 30 miles away."
Killer wave! Surf's up brah!
To: Red Badger
The difference between the so-called mega-tsunami and a regular one: Regular ones are caused by a shift up or down in the seafloor. The wave generated rides on the ocean surface and breaks on hitting shore like any other wave, except that it has more power and force - and so does major damage. The so-called mega-tsunami however is generated by debris sliding into the ocean, displacing the water, forcing it up. This wave travels from the bottom up, rather than riding on the surface. The height of the wave is determined in part by the volume of debris. This wave only breaks on hitting land higher than itself - it will ride over all land lower than it is. Thus, an 800 foot tall wave will keep going until it hits land that is 800 feet or more. A regular tsunami will push objects over which it flows in the same direction it is traveling. A so-called mega-tsunami will rip and scour anything in its path. For instance a regular tsunami could leave a building intact or moved off its foundations. A mega-tsunami, on the other hand, will leave nothing of the house, not even its foundation having stripped the land down to bedrock - like the house, and all around it never existed. See:
