  1. Why not just bury steel towers deep in the ground so they wont roll over and suspend cables from them and put a survivle shelter up there around all the coasts

  2. 10 minutes is enough time to escape a tsunami if you’re on a beach right? If you’re sprinting at 10mph for 10 minutes that’s like 1 mile in the time given.

  3. You Need a big Anker … and a big rubber around the egg ?…. a Tsunami is hitting you against houses and ships and rocks … for hours …maybe this egg is cut off then ….✌️?✌️

  4. They should place the hatch on top of the pod because now if you open the hatch the pod will be flooded and wil sink as a stone. If a tsunami is over but you are floating with the pod in the ocean and you need some air you could open the hatch for a while and let air in.

  5. You would think they would use some sort of spray foam on the inside to help with floatation in case of a leak (or puncture) and to help with temperature control, but not that thing, it was just sheet metal over roll cage materials and some racing seats! Even comes with a racing helmet! When you strap in, it will be like "Gentleman Start your Engines!" and then get smashed around like you're

    in a demolition derby with no control!

    It looked liked if that thing flipped over everything would be tossed about, centered of gravity changed. Stuck upside down in a pile of debris. No way for the door to ever get opened.

    That thing is suicide

  6. Water came in when the waves came for the first part like naw this aint about to survive no tsunami and they didn’t put a person in a drop test for the waterfall like that’s more reality
