The United States and New Zealand conducted secret tests of a "tsunami bomb" designed to destroy coastal cities by using underwater blasts to trigger massive tidal waves.
The tests were carried out in waters around New Caledonia and Auckland during the Second World War and showed that the weapon was feasible and a series of 10 large offshore blasts could potentially create a 33-foot tsunami capable of inundating a small city.

The top secret operation, code-named "Project Seal", tested the doomsday device as a possible rival to the nuclear bomb. About 3,700 bombs were exploded during the tests, first in New Caledonia and later at Whangaparaoa Peninsula, near Auckland.

"Presumably if the atomic bomb had not worked as well as it did, we might have been tsunami-ing people," said Mr Waru.

How can this article completely fail to even mention the geneva conventions and how they relate to such a weapon?

I'd have to look up details and I'm too lazy to do so now, but the big tsunami which hit, I think Indonesia around... '06 maybe? In the couple days preceding, there was an inexplicable collapse in their gov bonds, which fortunes could have/were made on the short-sale side of. C.A.Fitts remarked more than once that that event was obviously engineered. Ditto Haiti's devastating Jan '10 quake.
