Anonymous Coward User ID: 1093212 United States 03/24/2011 03:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i thought of building a steel reinforced capsule chained to some type of elevated bracket.. on a pole or something to move up and down if the water level rises.. filled with oxygen, food etc like you said, i think with a simple sturdy design your chances are excellent for initial survival. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1171703 United Kingdom 03/24/2011 03:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My biggest fear is I will survive the impact but the safe gets knocked over and lands door facing down. I would then be forever trapped and my safe becomes a tomb. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 667950I am thinking of putting it completely underground with the door facing up. That way when the tsunamis near, i will run out side and jump in the safe. When the door is closed, it is parallel to the ground, maybe a few inches under. This will increase the odds that the safe does not get banged around and I will be able to open the door unless some heavy lands on top if it (i'll take the chance) I then will slowly let the water sink in, neutralize the pressure, swim up and out with my food, water, and raft. My God, you are an idiot !!! Safes... Heavy... Water+Debris+sludge lighter... You will end up being buried under anything from 20 to 100 ft of sludge/soil and other crap. YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE YOUR SAFE COFFIN !!! You need something that will float not sink !!! This has got to be the most stupidest idea I have ever heard!!! |

Burt Gummer User ID: 7702124 United States 11/19/2012 03:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am modifying a large safe to be a sort of pod that I will be able to survive in when 2012 comes and there are mile high tsunamis. As this massive wave approaches I will lock myself in my padded safe where there are 2 oxygen tanks, food and water. After the massive tsunami hits, I will safely swim up with my inflatable raft and search for dry land. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 667950 Good luck trying to open that safe door in with a high pressure environment outside. |

When it is nearing time for me to escape, I will remove the screw and slowly let the water leak in to neutralize the pressure. THen it should be easy to open the safe once it is completely filled with water." Last Edited by PANIK on 11/19/2012 04:01 PM |
