If a landslide tsunami happened, the waves would most certainly not "pass underneath"! More like, crash over the ship at 500+ feet high...

It's the combination of the speed of the landslide hitting the water and the shallowness of the lake that makes it so deadly - this wouldn't happen out at sea where there is far more water and it's obviously much deeper.
