On the 9th of July 1958, there was an 8.2 magnitude Earthquake that caused an landslide that caused a huge wave called Lituya Bay Tsunami. The Tsunami was 516m tall and destroyed everything in it's path. People say that it was the biggest wave from 1900 till 2008 so far. On that day there were 3 boats out of the bay. When the tsunami hit 1 of the 3 boats sunk and the other 2 of the 3 rode the tsunami inland. The survivors of the boats were named: William Swanson and Howard Ulrich. Only 2 people died throughout the whole tsunami and they were the 2 people on the boat that sunk. The tsunami was so destructive that it took nearly 3 months to fix up everything back to nearly, normal.
