Not entirly accurate but the best effort at explaining it on the news i've seen. Experts "THINK" a 10m high wave could have stopped a generator? You dont say!

Latest comment: Or remember Murphy's law: if it can go wrong, it will. How about a) using energy that is not so catastrophic if it goes wrong and/or b) using less energy?

The generators were located on low ground behind a sea wall which was expected to stop any tsunamis. Yeah, right...
