It's an island/resort that many british tourists frequent, my aunty/uncle have been 2 or 3 times

actually the weird thing here is that I watched a show on Tsunami's and mega-tsunamis (not the ones caused by earthquakes but large islands falling into the sea) just 3 or 4 nights ago, they've predicted that one of the canary isles (where I holiday) called La Palma is slowly falling ionto the sea and if it does, a tsunami about 20 times the size of this will devastate the entire east coast of the usa if it happens.

I know there have been disasters that have taken more lives before...but have any been as widespread as this one?

Indonesia, Malaysia, Somalia, India, Sri Lanka etc etc....


Even the west coast of Australia felt an increase in ocean swell (from what I heard)

Yea true... he has lotsa fans heh. I don't have a link for Jet Li. There's a topic regarding this in a local(singapore) forum and some of them claimed to hear that on the radio news report.

edit: forgot to say this in my previous post, Jet Li went for a vacation(i dont know the location)
