Visnews film shows havoc caused by massive tidal waves - caused by an under-sea earthquake - to the town of Hilo, Hawaii, in April, 1946, and makes a striking comparison 14 years later to the vast destruction created by 30-ft high tidal waves to the same town and area, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, May 24, when - generated by the calamitous Chilean earthquakes - they swept 10,000 miles across the Pacific at 400-500 miles per hour.
