* Pretty much {{Jossed}}; it was an earthquake (i.e. subsea displacement) that generated the rogue wave. The ship was close to the fault line (and in ''relatively'' shallow water) when it went. ''Poseidon'' had almost no time to react, and the wave was still very, very high when it hit the ship, rather then the barely noticeable, extremely fast form tsunamis typically take in the open ocean.

** Is that Word Of God? Because it's far from real-life physics. Tsunamis get tall when they transit from deep to shallow water, an earthquake occuring in shallow water would just produce less water displacement and a weaker wave, not a taller one.
