The entire east coast of the USA from Maine to Miami in addition to the South Americas rests on a potential timetable to destruction that could take place at any time with a future eruption of the remaining active volcano on Las Palmas in the Canary Isles.

I'm sure he was including the Mexicans when he said South Americans. Also, The Tsunami would reach inland just enough to penetrate the Canadian border, that is if the tsunami even reaches that far North.

half trillion tons of earth?
That is alot bigger then the canary island in question?
half trillion tons of earth = 1 billion square feet of earth.
5260 (squared) feet = 1 mile by 1 mile.
So 1 billion square feet of earth is something like 36 square miles of earth.
That is saying that each square foot of earth weighs 1000 pounds. That is GENEROUS in my opinion.
I think these people are a little delusioned in their numbers.

Which ton did you use in your calculations?
In Europe 1 ton is 1000Kg which equals 1.12 US tons.
