It's enough explosive to cause a 2m high tsunami in the estuary, iirc. Not an option.

- bpodgursky 2y agoThat is absolutely an option which other sane nations would consider. Issue a Tsunami warning and get everyone off the beach for an hour Sunday at 3am.

- ben_w 2y ago(1) the UK doesn't have Tsunami warnings, because it doesn't have Tsunamis. This also means they don't know how to deal with them institutionally. (2) Right by a river leading directly into the capital. I don't know how far away a 2m tsunami would actually go, is it close enough to the river entrance to focus it? https://www.floodmap.net https://www.floodmap.net to play with what "2m" would mean to the local area.
