Here's what happened on July 09, 1958:

• 1958 Lituya Bay Megatsunami On July 9, 1958, a massive geological event occurred in Alaska's Lituya Bay when a powerful 7.8 to 8.3 magnitude strike-slip earthquake struck the Fairweather Fault. The seismic activity triggered a catastrophic rockslide of approximately 90 million tons of rock and ice, which plunged into the bay and generated the largest recorded tsunami in human history. The resulting megatsunami reached an unprecedented height of 524 meters (1,719 feet), dramatically altering the landscape and causing five fatalities. This event is considered one of the most extraordinary geological phenomena of the 20th century.
