[edit] Date?
There appears to be some difference in the date of the landslide from different sources - I've seen July 7th, July 8th, July 9th, and July 10th. Any ideas how we find out who is right? Average Earthman 12:31, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
- To my eye the authoritative sources give it as the 9th. Some confusion may be caused because it was the 10th GMT at the time, but that's not what should be given as the date. Anyways, I'm changing it. Blahaccountblah (talk) 13:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Corrected height
The article stated that the tsunami was "more than 300m high", which is vague. I've taken the actual value (524m / 1472ft) from the Guiness Book of Records. This value features on one of the reference articles as well. Mouse Nightshirt 12:13, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
No what i think it means is that the wave when it was in the water was 300m(1000ft) high and then it sloshed a futher 742ft up the mountain. Wiki235 18:23, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
