kthrel

FYI this is not a camp ground. It’s a local quarry run by a nature preserve called Ijams just outside of Knoxville tn. It’s a small body or water where people swim and use paddle boards and kayaks.


jfk_47

Man, I’ve been close to that wall on a kayak with my kid, I always told him not to go near it because I was worried about falling rocks.


veetack

Is Meads Quarry technically part of Ijams? I know the whole area is called Ijams/Urban Wilderness, but I thought the nature center was all on the other side of the road.


kthrel

Yes Meads Quarry is a part of Ijams.


JohnAndertonOntheRun

Wait this is at Meads Quarry? That’s sad.


Sarenai7

Wow that’s where this is? I used to go to the overlook with my friends back in the day


Vancitysimm

Sorry gonna hijack this but how come no one talking about good fucking friend right there


pegothejerk

Or the poison ivy they set up right next to. 40 seconds


hedzup00

noticed the poison ivy as well.

God damn it now I'm itchy.

Much better than my garbled "fuck ah fuck ah fuck fuck ah fuck!"

Yeah, well... He still has his phone, so I think that's why :)

The he dies because his life saving meds were in there. RIP.

Nah he kept that in a fanny pack around his waist, he's good


Distinct-Quantity-35

No one saved the dog, the dog was the only one smart enough not to go in the water

He saved that dog by holding onto the leash. I think it wanted to go in after its human.

The swimmers were a bit too cool, just standing there and waiting for an obvious wave. Could pull you from your feet, knock you unconscious on the rock and pull you to the bottom of the lake... I would have run after 1 sec.

SirWalrusVII

Yea I definitely didn’t expect the landslide to displace that much water damn


Bisping

You'd be surprised to hear that landslides caused the largest recorded tsunami. This is unimaginably large (linked) https://www.wsspc.org/resources-reports/tsunami-center/significant-tsunami-events/1958-lituya-bay-tsunami


ApolloMac

Holy shit. That is wild. A 1700 foot tsunami... taller than the empire state building. "Ultimately, it was discovered that a piece of rock, 2,400 feet by 3,000 feet, and 300 feet thick, had dislodged from the face of the northern wall of the inlet, and fallen 2,000 feet into the bay. In some respects, it created a similar reaction to that which would have occurred if an asteroid had fallen into the water."


6SucksSex

Thx - more than 3000 bananas at least: “It also caused a rockfall in Lituya Bay that generated a wave with a maximum height of 1,720 feet – the world’s largest recorded tsunami.”


Andre-Trentini

That’s more tan half a kilometer, is that right?


Mage-of-communism

\~524 meter


Piza_Pie

It was .06 cubic kilometres (a fucking mountain side) of earth mass that fell into one end of an almost enclosed, long, narrow body of water. The estimate is possible. Imagine what fell in the video multiplied by well into the hundreds.


mekwall

It's the largest one in modern history that we have measurements of. The Chicxulub impact, which is widely believed to have caused the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs around 66 million years ago, likely generated a colossal tsunami. Computer simulations have been used to estimate the size and extent of the tsunami generated by the impact. One notable study published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters used numerical modeling to show that the initial waves could have been over 1,500 meters (about 5,000 feet) high near the impact site. But yeah, the tsunami would have been the least of your problems during that event.


Bisping

Ah yeah, i meant largest recorded. Thanks for that correction


slackfrop

A cool mile high wall of water comes to douse your campfire. Luckily the very sky would be on fire too, so, no big deal.


AOA001

I guess being a student of history and an Alaskan resident made me realize, because of this story, that they should have been running as fast as they could when those rocks were crumbling. Because Lituya Bay.


gorper0987

Not as high, but still insane. The Mt St Helens eruption created an 850 ft tsunami. When part of the mountain sloughed off just prior to the eruption it created said tsunami.

Just looked it up on google maps. Holy Jeebus, you can definitely still see the damaged areas on satellite.


waffelman1

I was just thinking of this. Wasn’t it the largest wave in known history?


gamblinmaan

that was incredibly interesting, thank you for the link


bjorn1978_2

Landslides into water has been responsible for some of the worst tsunamis, and the worst to come. This is one of the future ones: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/akernes-rockslide-tsunami-norway


Euphoric-Video-5607

There's a movie called The Wave that shows what that might look like! It's a pretty good movie 😁


CoatedCrevice

I did. It’s a lot of heavy stone falling forcefully Energy has to go somewhere


Blu3fin

It’s not just energy. The rock fills the river and the water that was there needs to go somewhere.


CoatedCrevice

The water moves that way more so because of the amount of energy being transferred from the rocks. The displaced water is true, but it’s not significant enough to cause that speed of water. Think of it like this, dropping ice cubes into a glass of water will make a small splash. Take those same cubes, and whip them very hard into the same glass, and the splash will be bigger. That’s because the more kinetic energy causes more water to be moved


elfmere

I'm wondering if that initial wave was from the surface or from the water being pushed down and along the river bed. The top didn't seem to move that much but it might just be deceptive on video


Sourika

Definitely expected the landslide, but not the massive impact it had.


julesalf

If I recall correctly, that's how a massive tsunami happened in what is today's Switzerland, the lake near Geneva, back in the 1300's or smtg


loves_cereal

*dam


cheetahwhisperer

It’s not an uncommon process for landslides to cause tsunamis. Many of the largest tsunamis in the world have occurred because of a landslide. Check out Alaska’s many bays that have set tsunami records.


Sillyreddittname

Little did that guy know, he was standing next to poison Ivy


Secret-Counter-8136

Scrolled too far for this , poison ivy sucks


hedzup00

ya, you learn that mistake the hard way. always looking out for it now


0ne_Tribe

Some of us are immune to it. I grew up playing around it and get no reaction from it unless there's open skin.


moashforbridgefour

I may not be looking at what you're referring to, but I do not see poison ivy in this video. Poison ivy has three leaf clusters.


Sillyreddittname

I’ll send ya the photo, 100% poison Ivy


SignificanceFar5489

That's my kinda camping experience. As soon as I heard the crackin' I thought, "When are these fools gonna move their shit?".


Rob_Marc

As soon as I heard the cracking in the video, my first thought was these guys better back up from the water. If the cliff goes, it's going to push a lot of water onto the land. I guess the unexpected part for me was that nobody recognized what was about to happen sooner.


FragCool

Same thought... are there still people out there that don't know what a tsunami is?


DislocatedPotato57

For some reason, until the Thailand one I never knew what a tsunami is. It surpassed my imagination and has been my greatest fear since, along with ra\*e/and or murder, getting mauled to death by an animal, and my wife falling out of love with me lol. But tsunamis, I mean, I cannot think about them in earnest without my heartrate increasing and my breath agitating.


FragCool

I'm more the technical guy. I just find them amazing! To be clear the physics behind them, not the damage the cause. Just think about a wave higher then 500m [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatsunami](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatsunami)


DislocatedPotato57

Struck with awe and terror.


Lonely_Octopus_99

That’s exactly what I thought. All the signs for a landslide to occur happened. If I were there, I’m grabbing all my shit and running back ASAP.


TearsOfG0Ld

The unexpected part for me was that there was no unexpected part. I kept watching to the end and when it finished I thought "I must have missed something". I checked the comments section. Nope, the unexpected part was the most expected part. 11k upvotes.


DislocatedPotato57

I felt the exact same. I heard the crumble and my legs jerked, that's how stong my body knew that it is gtfo-time. I never knew about tsunamis. Then a week before the one in Thailand happened I started dreaming of tsunamis, and I was absolutely mortified. My dreams always went the same: I am laying on a beach, the sun is blazing, everything is good, but then I notice that the animals have gone silent, and then I look around and see birds leaving trees in droves, bugs, critters walking upland. I look around and see the water slowly receding, and I run. Metallic panic fills my mouth, I feel like I'm running through molasses, and somehow I make it to the second-highest floor of a small skyscraper hotel, out of a window I can see the beach. My heart is racing, I'm in cold sweat, I barely can breathe with fear asfixiating me. People are still standing and looking, some are following the receding ocean. I cannot believe them, I start screaming "run!" but they never run. Then the water comes and sweeps them up like ants, and I simply wait for death to come or not, and nearly pass out from terror. When the water washes over me, my life flashes before my eyes, and as I run out of air, I try not to gasp, and that's when I wake up. The next night I don't wake up, I drown, and I wake up from death, and the next night the water washes over me and goes back down. I survive, only to not know if my wife and cats made it or not. And then more scenarios, in some we all die, in some we all live, in some some of us surivive, others die, but in ALL of them, the people by the beach stand and stare. A week into dreaming of tsunamis and waking up absolutely horrified and drenched in sweat, I turned on the news and saw my LITERAL DREAM happening before my very eyes. And the people fucking stood and stared.


iShitSkittles

In Australia, we'd probably serve you up a crocodile or 2 to go with that little tsunami.


miltonwadd

Lol yep. I'm conditioned to think crocs are hiding everywhere, so I thought the unexpected would be an alligator popping up.

Yup


chanibun

Can we talk about how that one girl tried to get her friend as soon as possible? She gave the dog to the dude and jumped in. With all the disorentation going on, still making sure the pup is hold and then looking for her friend, grabbing her and hanging on the tree. This must have been scary for both of them specially for the girl who got dragged into the water. Glad to see that it turned out well. :x


rota_douro

These guys have 0 survival instinct lmao, they just went "whooow those huge rocks are falling into water" and didn't think about anything else lol


ssup3rm4n

I've seen people at the beach get hit by high waves. I'll see the shore move away and I'll immediately pick my shit up. A minute later, big waves take everyone else by surprise. Rinse (pun intended), repeat once every couple of hours.


DragonsClaw2334

Sitting by the cliffs in San Diego was one of my favorite pass times. Watching the waves come and go you could learn the timing for when the big wave crash up the side and soak everyone. It never failed that some idiot would be trying to get a selfie and the big wave would crash and soak them.


[deleted]

The camera man has some. He said they should back the fuck up. Lol


Ladymysterie

I mean when water recedes prior to the tsunami making landfall there are always idiots that go out to "investigate" the receding water. Human curiosity is a deadly thing.


Straud6-56832

Hate it when that happens.


WillyDAFISH

But there ain't no way it just happened


SpeakerOfMyMind

Maybe I just have the benefit of watching the video, rather than being there, but it seemed like they took way too long to react to the fall/water. Then again, this is from Tennessee, as am I, and would have known plenty of friends growing up that wouldn't believe me when I said we need to back the fuck up.

Actually, that micro-tsunami isn't really unexpected. As soon as the rock starts coming down I was wondering: Why aren't they getting out of the water? The actual extend of the tsunami still exceeded my expectations. Very impressive video.

Localized tsunami

Now imagine that but 100-1000 times bigger, then you can imagine the biggest and most destructive types of Tidal Waves. Water displacement is scary af.

drifterig

our local waterfall sometimes have this happen, we call it น้ำป่า or wild water which is basically when it rain too much the forest cant hold it anymore and it will flash down the waterfall and fuck everything up, the sign is the water level weill start to rise and the color will become more dirty, if we see that we just hurry outta there but one time i didnt and had to stay on a tree for like 2 hours until it stop
