According to a program on the Discovery channel I recently watched, a much greater threat, and more likely, is that of a Super Tsunami, generated when a massive landslide falls into a body of water, or an ocean. They showed that out in the atlantic, there is such a landslide, just waiting to happen.

Yup. I saw that. I think it was in the Canary Islands.
