A new point. Read carefully the section of the Sil. cited by HerenIstarion. It says that Eru changed the nature of the world, drowning Numenor and removing the Undying Lands from Arda. It then goes on to say that a landslide buries the Numenorean army encamped around the hill of Tuna (Bill Parcells is big but I wouldn't call him a hill <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b"> ). It does not say that Eru did this. Could the Valar have done it?

BTW, MM over at Suite 101 wrote an article about Numenor stating that Tirion was destroyed at that time. Akallabeth says the landslide was from the hills, and Tuna was in a gap in the Mountains of Valinor, certainly not the only hill around. Is there any real evidence that Tirion was destroyed?
