Movie from the seventies... Luxury Liner "Poseidon" is struck by a giant tsunami wave and capsizes.

Now imagine how many eels you could save when a convoy would encounter such a baby... you just close the hatch and dive... but the convoy definitely is gonna get owned

Tsunamis always pass undetected on the open water as they are just large swells at that stage.

I would just ride the crest of it in my IX with guns blazing at the convoy. They wish they'd get hit by that tsunami.

Tsunami:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsunami

Freak wave:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freak_wave

They are very different, freak waves that capsize the Poseidon, last only few moments or minutes, tsunamis can cross oceans and are only few centimeters high and travel up to the speep of sound (until they reach land).

But I like the storm scene in Das Boot, big waves!

And to think that it was probably caused by some skinny guy who farted in the water off the coast of Africa. That's why even a small 'tute' underwater can become something so deadly! We Americans are so worried about the terrorist and their WMD when we all need to be more worried about who ate beans for dinner and are planning on going for a swim in the sea right afterwards with their WAD - Weapons of As$ destruction!

New remake about to be released is what he was referring to.
