Hawaii tsunami FEARS: Expert warns ‘culture ending EVENT’ could strike US island

Chillingly, Dr Fryer also revealed an event of this scale may not be too far away.

He continued: “These giant landslides, as far as we can tell, they seem to occur during periods of high sea level, when the climate is warm.

“Why that is, we do not know, but we are in a warm period right now with high sea level.

“So we can expect something like this within the next 10 to 20,000 years.”

Hawaii has already begun preparations for an event of this magnitude, as scientists closely monitor a network of global warning systems.
