Over on another thread, What Exit provided this link to a potential catastrophe that could occur when/if the island of Las Palmas should have a landslide that collapses some sort of fault line along its western coast.
Looking at the size of this island and the amount of water between it and the Florida coast, it seems inconceivable that this could have the effect suggested by the writer of the article. Can someone explain what I am missing?
Also, if it is such a potential threat, why are they not chipping away at it with earth diggers to lessen the possible effects?
