In a narrow Alaskan bay about 250 miles west of Juneau, the highest tsunami ever recorded loomed to a height of 1,700 feet (520 meters)-almost twice as tall as the Eiffel Tower. It happened like this :
On the night of July 7, 1958 a giant earthquake (magnitude 8) shifted the land along the Fairweather Fault that borders the bay beneath a steep face of rock.The shaking earth broke loose a massive rockslide that crashed into the bay and splashed an enormous wave-a tsunami-hurtling at jet speeds toward the opposite shore. The wall of water knocked down millions of trees and stripped the shore down to bare rock.
