    Let's wait for more news before speculating who is at fault.

    Agreed. We don't want to cause any rifts here.

    Here's a map with estimated tsunami travel times:

    Around now we should see the first impacts on populated areas such as Anchorage and Juneau. The Anchorage Daily News doesn't have any impact reports yet.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Would that not just be a wave? A tsunami would barely register until it hit shallow water and was forced upwards, no?

    What's "DART" and "tide gage"?
    I take it tide gage/gauge are buoys/sensors that measure tidal rises?

    I see the Dart is going to be effected. Bad news for you commuters. If only you could afford a car.

    Yeah, I'd say the 7 figure a year suits getting on at Sutton or Killiney and alighting at the IFSC can't afford a Skoda like you.
