Alaska Earthquake: Tsunami warning issued after 7.3-magnitude quake; Another 'megatsunami' like 1958 on the way?

A recent 7.3 magnitude earthquake off Alaska's Aleutian Peninsula triggered tsunami warnings, stirring memories of the 1958 Lituya Bay megatsunami. While the immediate threat subsided, Alaska's location on the Ring of Fire makes it prone to such events. Experts warn that similar megatsunamis are possible due to the region's tectonics, bay geometry, and landslide risks, emphasizing the need for preparedness.
