As for whether the Freedom Tower would survive.....well I can't really answer that question but I guess I could depend on how well the debris from other buildings further to it's south form a breakwater. But it's a safe bet that if you had to be in lower Manhattan during a tsunami the Freedom Tower is where your odds of survival would be greatest.
The Megatsunami episode aired on the Discovery channel is based on the worst case scenario.
There are other potential sources of tsunami that worry me more.
Grand Banks and Puerto Rico See here:
