"You think of a 40-foot wave or a 50-foot-high wave traveling at 140 mph," said Gerard Fryer with the University of Hawaii at Manoa in an interview earlier this month. "It's an astounding image. It's almost beyond our comprehension."

Well I wonder he they would rate the following if 140 MPH is beyond comprehension:

Moving at about 500 mph, the waves took more than two hours to reach Sri Lanka, where the human toll has been horrific, and longer to spread to India and the east coast of Africa

One theory they did not mention could account for their observations and the tsunamis. Perhaps a large meteor struck the ocean, disintegrated, creating the tsunamis and the blast triggered the small earthquakes that they originally attributed the tsunamis to.
