New York Might Face Watery End
New
York Post | December 28 2004
December 28, 2004 -- It hardly raised a ripple when it
was reported over the summer, but news that a tsunami could one day hit
New York is suddenly getting a second look.
Several months ago, geologists raised concerns that an
unstable flank of a volcano in the Canary Islands off the coast of Western
Africa could slide into the sea and send giant waves across the Atlantic
at the speed of a jumbo jet.
Within three hours, the wave could swamp the west coast
of Africa. Within five hours, it could hit southern England, and within
12 hours, it could build up enough force to wipe out the U.S. East Coast,
including New York, Washington, Boston and Miami, according to a British
researcher.
"Eventually, the whole rock will col lapse into the
water, and the collapse will devastate the Atlantic margin," said Bill
McGuire, of the Benfield Grieg Hazard Research Center.
"We need to be out there now looking at when an eruption
is likely to hap pen . . . other wise there will be no time to evacu ate
major cities."
McGuire said close monitoring of the site might give two
weeks warning of the disaster. But that was before funding of the seismology
project in the region dried up several years ago.
Scientists at the time of McGuire's
August study paid little attention to the warning, largely because the volcano
in question has been dormant since 1971, even though it erupts every 20
to 200 years.
