La Palma volcano’s ongoing eruption could trigger mega-tsunami that hits U.S.

The video discusses the potential risk of a mega tsunami caused by volcanic eruptions, as outlined in a 2001 study. The study suggested that cracks in a volcano could lead to a massive landslide, generating waves up to 900 meters high, potentially impacting the Americas. However, subsequent studies have downplayed this risk, suggesting any collapse would occur in stages and not with the force initially described. The video also highlights the potential devastating impact on the Canary Islands, particularly around La Palma.
