Hat tip to u/ImGumbyDammit for this post, video of the 'underwater volcano eruption'.
As the fine commentary suggests, something doesn't look right.
One of the people to lose their life (in fact, the only one at time of writing this) in the following tsunami was Angela Glover (Brighton, UK), swept away while trying to secure her charity rescue 'dogs':

Site only made in 2020, looks to be skeleton staff and very few contacts and 'friends'.

Wow, those are some fascinating details- I'd never heard of any of that, great stuff.
It seems Minerva gets (almost) everywhere. Nice to see it repelled by angry Tongans, you'd have to be brave to proceed..
