[Paddlewise] A question about Tsuamis

Hi all

As there seems to be some very clever people on the list I had a
question about a big splash. There has been quite a bit in out papers
lately about the MIR space station splash down in a few weeks between
New Zealand and South America. Some reports say pieces could be as large
as 21 Tonne (metric) and travelling at 1km per sec. I was wondering if
that sort of splash would create a signficant wave or would it be
absorbed by the ocean. Maybe Doug should be packing his bags and kayak
and heading for New Zealand,
