Today on Far Far Future Horizons we explore the question Could We Survive A Mega Tsunami?
This BBC Two documentary
starts with a horrific scenario a kilometre high tidal wave, travelling at the
speed of a jet aircraft, and heading for us.
The destructive effects of tsunamis have been all too
evident in recent years, with one on Boxing Day (December 26th) 2004 killing around 250,000 people in southern
Asia and another striking Japan
on March 11th, 2011 and nearly bringing this nation close to the
edge of a nuclear catastrophe.
