August 17, 1976. Midnight. Deep beneath the ocean floor, a fault line 12 miles down suddenly ruptured with the force of thousands of nuclear bombs. Within minutes, 30-foot tsunami waves obliterated 700 kilometers of Philippine coastline. 8,000 people died. 90,000 left homeless. And it all started in an underwater trench system that scientists barely knew existed.In this video, we explore:

The Cotabato Trench - the "forgotten" killer beneath the Moro Gulf
How a magnitude 8.0 earthquake at 20km depth created a devastating tsunami
Why the tsunami arrived in just 2-5 minutes with no warning
The deadly combination of factors that night: midnight timing, shallow depth, and zero preparedness
How subduction zones create the world's deadliest underwater earthquakes
Why 90% of deaths were from the tsunami, not the earthquake itself
The threat that still exists today beneath the Philippines
This disaster remains one of the deadliest in Philippine history, yet the Cotabato Trench is still active and accumulating stress. The question isn't if another major earthquake will strike—it's when.🔔 Subscribe for more deep-sea mysteries and underwater disasters
