re: #235 Aunty Entity Dragon

Actually found out that is Psuedoscience!

Not your fault, Discovery didn’t do enough research on it.

In 2002 the Tsunami Society (Pararas-Carayannis, 2002[7]), published a statement stating “… We would like to halt the scaremongering from these unfounded reports…” The major points raised in this report include:

The claim that half of Cumbre Vieja dropped 4 m (13 ft) during the 1949 eruption is erroneous, and contradicted by physical evidence.

No evidence was sought or shown that there is a fault line separating a “block” of La Palma from the other half.

Physical evidence shows a 4 km (2 mi) long line in the rock, but the models assumed a 25 km (16 mi) line, for which no physical evidence was given. Further, there is no evidence shown that the 4 km (2 mi) long line extends beyond the surface.

There has never been an Atlantic megatsunami in recorded history.

A survey carried out by Moss et al.; (1999)[8] reported that the western flank is stable with no indication of aseismic creep being recorded.

In 2001 Carracedo et al.;[4] stated that they consider the 1949 crack to be a shallow and inactive surface expression. They do suggest that the crack should be monitored, but consider the possibility that the edifice is unstable as being almost non-existent.

Murty et al.; (2005)[9] claim that the morphology of the Atlantic Ocean prevents the generation and propagation of trans-oceanic tsunamis.

In 2006 professor Jan Nieuwenhuis of Delft University of Technology simulated several volcanic eruptions and calculated it would take another 10,000 years for the flanks to become sufficiently high and unstable to cause a massive collapse.,
