But they could happen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storegga_Slide

Besides that something like this https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdgasleck_in_der_Nordsee could also lead to a tsunami if it caves in.

Considering how many we have there it's not that unlikely:

I doubt that german power plants are even built for that occasion.

Power plants are built according to the requirements of their location and history shows we fail in getting all the risk

Not to mention corruption and botching.

Which company would you trust to built and operate these power plants?

Vattenfall, Shell, Siemens, Facebook, Apple?
