Deep Impact Question

So...... Secretary Rittenhouse resigns and hops on a boat to sail around the world. Where is he when the comet hits? Bet he feels like a total douche when they blow the comet up and he dies in the tsunami.

How would he die in a tsunami on a boat?

Well... The small fragment landed in the Atlantic and created a 300ft tall tsunami. Figured if he's in the Atlantic, they are fricked.

You know how tsunamis work?
If were anywhere other than a coast he would never have known. Maybe the small segment landed directly on him. That would suck.
You mean a tidal wave?

I mean as far as ways to die go that doesn't seem so bad. Unlucky I suppose, but painless and unique

You mean tidal waves I think. You wouldn't even notice a tsunami on a boat in the ocean.

He was stacked with Ensure, via the shamless cross-promotion in that movie, so he had that that going for him eitherway.

Well, I'm thinking the "tsunami" deal is a dead end all around. That comet hitting the water isn't going to act like a tsunami I wouldn't think, where the ocean absorbs that energy and it doesn't produce a wave until the shoreline. I'd think you're going to get an instantly huge swell, but I'm no scientist

IIRC, he pretty much had accepted his fate, resigned and decided to spend his last days with his family out on the ocean where he'd be happy.

Definitely. Even if you want to call the result a tsunami, it would likely kill everything on the ocean (i.e. boats and shite). Your only hope would maybe be to be on the complete opposite side of the world and have enough water (or land) separating yourself from where it hits. I imagine a tsunami/tidal wave/batshit crazy wave/etc. with that much force would basically frick shite up worldwide. But I'm also no scientist, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

As an aside, the Yucatan impact is estimated to have emptied the Gulf of Mexico.
The whole thing.
All the way to the bottom
And all the way across.
Just imagine that for a minute.
But yeah, at some point along the way, tsunami has come to mean any large wave hitting land for some reason. As opposed to just being a moving column of displaced water.
