What Was the Tallest Wave Ever Recorded? 🌊😱

Can you imagine a wave so massive that it towered over skyscrapers? It actually happened!

In 1958, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Lituya Bay, Alaska, triggering a massive landslide. Millions of tons of rock crashed into the water, generating an unbelievable 524-meter (1,720 feet) megatsunami—taller than the Empire State Building! 😨

But that’s not even the biggest wave in Earth’s history! Scientists believe that when the Chicxulub asteroid—the one that wiped out the dinosaurs—hit the Yucatán Peninsula 66 million years ago, it created a 1.5-kilometer (4,900 feet) high tsunami that spread across entire oceans! 🌍🌊

Imagine witnessing that in real life! 😳 If you love mind-blowing facts, don’t forget to follow for more!
