This is based on a true event it happened in Alaska On July 9, 1958, Howard Ulrich and his seven-year-old son were in the little boat when this massive wave came towards them and to survive the guy had to ride over the wave.

*For the curious:*
The run-up height was 524m, not the wave height.

True story. A father told his son to put on his life vest and pray as he turned the boat into the wave. What a fishing trip! Had he tried to out run it they would of been killed.

You know Freebird was already playing on his radio at that exact moment

The Hawaiian tourist who happen to be there at the time just shouted Cowabunga and got stuck in

So in the real life situation, Should you run away from the Wave or Run towards it lol?

Good special effects
AI is very advanced obviously
Entertaining nonetheless

The reason the captain headed straight at the tsunami is that you must never let a tsunami know you are afraid. Tsunamis can sense your fear and, if they do, they will attack you without mercy. But stand up to a tsunami and it will pass you by as this one did. The same applies to avalanches FYI.

Можно только представить какой ужас пережили рыбак со своим восьмилетнем сыном оказавшись в бухте Литуйя. На канале Discovery в фильме про цунами, были показаны эти выжившие люди.

Would you hit stones on the other side of the wave top

Bros, the definition of cameraman never dies

Legend has it that boat can cross the sound barrier

I’m sitting here saying to myself “get up and over, up and over”

[dallasron]

And going up over it was the best option? I never would have thought of heading straight for it.

[bamaguy]

🌊Lituya Bay Tsunami
📅: Wednesday, July 9th 1958
🇺🇸: Lituya Bay, Alaska, Amerima
☠️: 5 deaths

[AndrewLane-pmro]

My understanding is that the wave that travelled through the bay was about 20m high ... as opposed to the wave that hit the mountain directly opposite the landslide, which washed up said mountain for hundreds of metres

Smart captain, that wave is only gonna get bigger.
