One man’s error is another man’s Titanic! In an unforeseeable catastrophe, an affluent group fell prey to a terrifying moment when their stunning Italian superyacht sank near an idyllic Greek holiday island. The weather turned, leaving the crew with little time to close the door. This misstep—leaving a side door open—resulted in the sinking of the 150-foot megayacht ‘Ethos.’

A dream superyacht charter turned into a nightmare when a crew member left a door open, eventually sinking the $55 million vessel. An affluent group had rented the 150-footer for $180,000 a week in Greece.

Tsunamis are (often) giant ocean waves triggered mainly by earthquakes. These waves, as we often see them happening in Asia roll ashore and cause loss of life and devastation. Did you know that tsunamis are not just a West Coast or Asia event? Tsunamis can happen pretty much anywhere where the ocean’s floor moves. Larger tsunamis are caused by an earthquake near a subduction zone as the leading edge of the overriding plate breaks free and springs seaward, raising the sea floor and the water above it. This uplift starts a tsunami. Meanwhile, the bulge behind the leading edge collapses, thinning the plate and lowering coastal areas.

What is a tsunami? Can they happen along the East & Gulf Coasts?
