History's deadliest tsunami occurred 65 million years ago when a meteor created the Chicxulub crater 40 kilometers deep off the coast of what is now the Yucatan Peninsula. The impact spawned a massive tsunami that spread over the Gulf of Mexico, carving deep slashes in the ocean floor and sending waves of destruction across the coastland. The waves could have traveled as far as 180 miles inland. The devastating tsunami in the Indian Ocean on Dec. 26 2004 was small compared to the one that followed the Yucatan collision.
