Really? I'd never heard of them until yesterday. That would be weird seeing a tsunami in a lake and then being killed by the poisonus water or the poisonus gases it releases.

Yeah, I think we've done it in 4th 5th L6th & U6th :/

And it wasn't a tsunami, There was a landslide into the lake which disturbed the stored CO2, it rose to the surface of the lake and because it's denser than Oxygen it doesn't rise at all, which is why all the people died

Oh I don't know too much about them, but it says that Tsunami's can occur depending.


How weird though, apparently it took out nearly a whole village. Such a silent killer and seeing everyone suffocate to death around you without any knowledge as to why.
