We dont know for sure, but likely the one who took this is not alive any more (it was just a matter of seconds).

I think you're talking about the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands?
The island is essentially a volcano, and during a future erruption half of it could potentially slide into the Atlantic in one piece causing a giant mega tsunami. I've seen the documentary and it's scary! Swiss scientists did a test in their wave tank using conservative estimates, and recorded an initial wave hight of 700 metres!
That research was a few years ago, so not sure if things have changed?

That's the one Chief. It is very scary the Island is one massive tank of water which has stored for millions of years. In an eruption it would heat the water and it would expand resulting in half the island tipping into the sea. In 1948 the island slipped a few metres and then stopped. The next eruption or the 50th eruption could lead to this. Its a case of when it happens.

i think you are talking about one of the canary islands, there`s a steep piece of land maybe cliff that ain`t that secure , just a small earthquake/ volcano will set it off

Funnily enough the documentary in question is on the Eden documentary channel right now!

The photograph is certainly a compelling one. However, it does not show a tsunami wave nor was it taken in Sumatra. The description that comes with the image is pure nonsense. In fact, the photograph shows a massive dust storm that hit the town of Griffith, NSW Australia on November 13 2002.
The residents of Griffith rushed to seal their houses at dusk yesterday as a fierce dust storm raced into the town without warning, propelled by winds of up to 90 kilometres an hour.
Rolling in from the south west after a scorching day of 36C, homes were engulfed by the cloud which turned the sky pitch black.
The storm cloud was three kilometres from the town when this photograph was taken by local electrical engineer Denis Couch. Within five minutes it reached his home and simply took over, the winds spreading gritty dust around for an hour.
"I've seen dust storms but I don't think I've ever seen anything as exotic as that," Mr Couch said. Griffith had "just under an inch" of rain almost two months ago, and nothing since, he added.
