All of U.S East Coast/Carribean/Western Europe destroyed?

One day, this will happen. See the link from the british broadccasting corporation below: What's really scary is that this was written in 2000. It wasn't someone trying to hype up the horrible tragedy in Asia.

What will happen when the volcano on La Palma collapses? Scientists predict that it will generate a wave that will be almost inconceivably destructive, far bigger than anything ever witnessed in modern times. It will surge across the entire Atlantic in a matter of hours, engulfing the whole US east coast, sweeping away everything in its path up to 20km inland. Boston would be hit first, followed by New York, then all the way down the coast to Miami and the Caribbean.

Yeah... it was discussed a few nights ago on here. It's funny how these end-of-the-world scenarios come up after a disaster. In 2 months, no one will be talking about it.
