• 2 Minutes: A 900 metres (3,000 ft) thick dome of water rises above the landslide.^[37]
• 5 Minutes: The dome collapses to a height of 500 metres (1,600 ft) as it advances by 50 kilometres (31 mi); additionally, wave valleys form.^[37]
• 10 Minutes: The landslide is now over. Waves reaching heights of 400–600 metres (1,300–2,000 ft) hit the three western Canary Islands.^[38]
• 15 Minutes-60 Minutes: 50–100 metres (160–330 ft) high waves hit Africa. A 500 kilometres (310 mi) wide train of waves advances across the Atlantic.^[38]
• 3–6 Hours: The waves hit South America and Newfoundland, reaching heights of 15–20 metres (49–66 ft) and 10 metres (33 ft), respectively. Spain and England are partially protected by La Palma, thus tsunami waves there only reach 5–7 metres (16–23 ft).^[38]
• 9 Hours: Waves 20–25 metres (66–82 ft) approach Florida; they are not expected to grow farther as they hit the coast.^[38]

A1 in 100,000 year event reading that article.

I think it's way more likely that it will be a lot of small landslides none with that significant impact

Yes, but maybe the last one was 99,999 years ago

Climate change is going to kill everybody anyway. Once you realise we are already dead men walking, you stop worrying about some trivia like a few mega-tsunamis or global nuclear war, or a pandemic that kills 90% of the population.

You just worry about home insulation.

Isn't that next to the mountainside that is a whisker away from sliding into the Atlantic?

You might think so, and if you look at the posters on here who have referenced it in the past, that might back up your opinion.
