Go upstairs


While watching this I couldn't take any of the tense scenes in the Cobra control room seriously. They're talking about how millions of lives are in danger, then you see footage of water in between the buildings in London. Why couldn't all the people just go upstairs? Then you see the scenes on the news of people having 'miraculously' survived. How did they do it? They went upstairs!

That is exactly what I said!

There is supposed to be a massive firestorm caused by an out-of-control Supertanker ramming an LNG Terminal. That firestorm finished off what was left of London that the flood didn't get. At least that is what the author of the book wrote. You are right though what were they doing at COBRA except over-acting. If I was writing the screenplay, I would have split it into either 2 movies or a mini-series.

So true exactly what I thought.
Evacuate the underground.
Police open all multi storey buildings.
Wait for physics to remove the water.

And re hospitals etc, how many single or even double storey hospitals are there in central London ? Ground is too expensive for this.

Very true but remember one of the opening scenes with the Scottish woman and her mother?
She went upstairs, all the way to the attic in fact.........and drowned 💦💦💦💦
