An amazing landslide tsunami video

Landslide tsunami video
I have absolutely no idea as to the setting or reason for this quite amazing landslide tsunami video:-
.
It is undoubtedly a controlled blast that has deliberately destabilised a very large section of slope. The effectiveness of the slide in generating the tsunami is clear, as is the complex nature of the water movement thereafter – see the image below. The speed and violence of this landslide tsunami is stunning.
Spectacular runup. Close call for the videographer. The trees in the right foreground were hit by the wave.
