It is a fact that during the last decade people have crowded in major cities as close to the sea as possible. Already more than half the global population are living in urban areas, in 2025 more than 4,5 billions are living in these crowded regions, according to UN predictions: http://esa.un.org/unup/p2k0data.asp In the US app. 53 % lives near the coast. Increased temperature expands water and sea level rises. A tsunami then doesn't need to be enormous in order to do severe damage. The US have already felt the consequenses of the sea when New Orleans were flooded. Disasters occur when the unlikely happens. It has happened before and will happen again. The last super volcanic eruption was in 1815 when Tambora in Indonesia exploded and killed about 92 000 people. If that event had happened today, just imagine the death tolls. Impossible things might happen simultaneously. And it seems as the only thing that unite mankind and brings peace are threats to our existence. And I strongly suggest that world order are not purely depending on US. Since we have such a short story on earth, we still haven’t seen which impact really, really big tsunamis would have.

Simon Day did not study the volcano, he says so in his research reports. He strongly suggests that somone one does do some research to help support or disprove his theory. It is just a theory based on a wish to create sensation and frighten people but not based on science. NO research has been done below the surface of La Palma. Simon Day does NOT find it likely that La Palma will cause a tsunami. He suggests that if all circumstances are at their worst and the 5 physically impossible things occur simultaneously then something might happen in the next few hundred thousand years but that it would take several new volcanic eruptions to cause it., plus a big bang eruption, which has never occurred on La Palma. Wards calculations have now been thoroughly discredited as being ridiculously overstated, based on an incorrect algorithm and failing to take account of several incredibly significant factors. The sum total of which is that the maximum size of any wave would be less than 50cm when it reached the Eastern seaboard of the US. So basically, it won't happen. If it happens, no one in the US will notice. The world order will not change. If you are going to quote other peoples work please do it correctly.
