Thunderbirds are ... oops
Jan. 5th, 2020 02:37 amOk, Thundrebirds has never been strong on science but this time the writers really blew it.
They have a tsunami. Ok, those happen. but they have it endangering ships in mid-ocean!!!
sorry guys but tsunamis are only dangerous when they hit shallow water. In mid-ocean they are just a gentle *very long* swell.
If not, we'd lose hundreds of ships every time one happened.
Also, as anybody who's seen video of one knows, they aren't this huge *breaking* wave. More like a tidal bore.
