Experts now believe there is an 80 per cent chance of a magnitude nine tremor occurring in the Nankai Trough off Japan's Pacific coast within the next 30 years.
New government estimates show that this disaster would kill 300,000 in the worst-case scenario.
This includes 215,000 deaths caused by tsunami waves exceeding 30m (98ft) in some areas.
------------------------------------------------
The 2011 tsunami was pretty mind blowing. I think the tallest wave was around 120 feet, up in the north. There are videos of the wave approaching, engulfing and crushing the whole town, then sweeping all the buildings and debris out to sea.
