Tsunamis are rare. Something like the Christmas Day tsunami in 2004 catches people off guard. But a giant cargo ship, aimed directly at a public beach, in clear seas and weather, that's not what anyone would expect. In this scene specifically, they see it off in the distance, and then a short time later, look up and it's clearly getting VERY close, and that doesn't jar them to their senses? That's not how humans work. Sorry, it just isn't.

The slower impending doom comes, the less reactive humans are.
Sure, to scale I kinda agree, that thing is probably moving fast enough (maybe). But in general a decent margin of people will stare at their doom until it consumes them. Look at all the fatties. If the fight or flight response isn't tipped off, they'll stand there.
Psychologically we glitch deer in headlights to many things that are just outside of expectation.
