Tsunami to Destroy Major City in Next 70 Years

According to Professor Bill McGuire, of London's Benfield Hazard Research Centre, within the next 70 years we will be due for a tsunami massive enough to wipe out a major city. He also says that before 2075 there are the following odds:

35% - earthquake to kill hundreds of thousands in a major city
35-70% - major submarine earthquake
7% - volcano big enough to effect our climate
0.7% - mega-tsunami killing 10s of millions, triggered by coastal or submarine landslide
0.15% - super-volcano
0.14% - 200m or better asteroid
0.001% - 1km wide asteroid, wiping out 25% of humans

Yay!
