Prior to that, a similar incident in 1905 triggered a tsunami killing 60 people, and 31 years later, another 74 lost their lives. Norway is a rockslide prone area (created by the Caledonian orogeny) and The Wave is based on a rock-slide tsunami incident which destroyed the village of Tafjord on 7 April 1934, killing 40 people.

Sondre gives one last effort at CPR and rescue breathing, which pays off. Idun heads back in a desperate attempt to revive him, drags him thru the water up to the surface, attempts rescue breathing, then CPR, then accepts he has drowned and stops trying. Removing the debris he reunites with Idun but runs out of air as he returns with Sondre. As Kristian finds them and dives, further water floods the refuge. Kristian finds his son's backpack and furiously bangs on some pipes. Philip, panicking to breathe, pushes Sondre underwater. Down in the bomb shelter, the water level rises, deforming the door which is blocked by heavy debris. The town is devastated, and the destroyed evacuation bus full of dead passengers including Vibeke but not Idun and Sondre. Finding Julia alive, he leaves her with Thomas and Teresa while he heads back to Geiranger to find his wife and son. Kristian survives but finds Anna next to him dead, impaled by debris. Maria is washed away and Idun and Sondre forcefully close the shelter door. Idun finds Sondre but too late to escape the tsunami which hits as they rush back downstairs to the basement's bomb shelter. Kristian sends Julia up the mountain with Anna's husband Thomas and daughter Teresa, and seats himself and Anna in a van. Their neighbor Anna has her leg trapped by a car. They abandon their car to run uphill on foot, shouting for others to do the same. Kristian and Julia, stuck in traffic, realize their altitude is dangerously low.

He and Jacob find the sensor wires have snapped due to the movements inside the mountain. Later, waiting for the ferry with his children while his wife Idun works a few more days at the hotel, Kristian has an epiphany and rushes back to the geology center, leaving his children Sondre and Julia in the car.
