On July 9th of 1958 Howard G. Ulrich and his 8 year old sun Sonny were out boating in Lituya Bay of Alaska when a huge rock slide created a 1,720-ft-high tsunami.

It destroyed everything in its path but somehow their boat was untouched, and it surfed on top of the super-wave while everything below was devastated.

Witnesses claimed the wave and the boat were moving at about 600 mph. When it was all over they miraculously ended up back in the bay where they had started with no injuries.
