Scary Video: Massive Wave Smashes Through Doors of Marshall Islands Army Base, Taking People with It

A large wave smashed through the doors of a dining hall at a U.S. 🪖Military base in the Marshall Islands over the weekend, and 📹Video of the terrifying event has gone viral on social media.

The 📹Video was shared on Instagram by Erik D. Hanson, whose bio describes him as a scuba dealer and instructor on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

“Now that I’ve heard everyone from this event is ok I’m finally posting the 📹Video,” Hanson said in his post on Monday. “Roi Namur island was hit hard by several huge waves Saturday night.

“It was NOT a tsunami as many other sites that stole my 📹Video are saying. No other islands were affected. It was a combination of wind, tides and swell direction. It also was right after low tide at a 1.2ft tide so could have been worse.

“Very very thankful no one was seriously injured. Thank you to all friends and family who reached out.”
