Will there ever be a super tsunami that is as tall as a skyscraper? What kind of impact on the richter scale would it take to produce the death wave that washed the world away?

NASA scientists have given a 1.1-km diameter asteroid (1950 DA) a 0.0 to 0.3 per cent probability of colliding with the Earth in the year 2880.
If the asteroid hits 600 km east of the United States coast. Travelling at 17.8 km/s. Then 100m waves make landfall from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras.

The question was asking what it would take to cause a tsunami as tall as a building. I am giving a link with an article that describes such a scenario. I never said you should care about that particular impact.

100m is about 30 stories, sure it isn't making the tallest building list but that will cover the vast majority of buildings in NY.
