      phtthp:
      if hit in-land, where can we run to ?


      Our highest hill is Bukit Timah hill ... not sure if is high enough to overcome big strong, high tsunami waves. maybe SG should start conduct civil defence, help everyone practise running to this hill seek refuge for days ? The higher ground we run to, the safer we are.

      or time for SG to explore the idea of building a big Noel ark, big enough to let people hide inside, seek refuge for a period of time from strong tsunami waves hitting entire island, if really hit in-land one day?

      High time to plan and execute trial run emergency crisis solution, nation wide.
      only way of escape is to remain on high ground, remain in helicopters / hot air balloon in the air, or hide inside a big stable ship that'll not be tossed around by the high forceful tusnami waves. Depends on what ship material is made of.

      it didn't happen to SG yet doesn't mean ... it will never happen to SG one day.
      our poor Bt Timah hill or Mt Faber will be trampled flat if the entire population cheong up there :evil: anywhere, don't think there is enough time for us to travel all the way there if ever tsunami strikes. Best way is to run up to the highest floor in our block and pray for safety :evil:

        Wondering: Should a Tsunami like this hit Singapore, which part of the island will be hit?


        East coast? Sentosa?

        If there is underwater quake and tsunami happens, it will hit the shores. Areas like Beach Rd, Marina area have been known to feel tremor. It's scary just thinking of Sentosa...those houses there facing the open sea.

              Maybe the show \"Noose\" is correct - govt built Marina Bay Sands in case tsunami strikes, the top (which shapes like a ship) can \"transport\" us... However, i think it is \"Member Only\"! :rotflmao:

                My hair stood on ends when I watched video clip of Japan's tsunami. The waves just gushed in. Anything and everything was swept away like a toy boat. Can you imagine those luxury houses facing the sea in Sentosa ?

Best way is to run up to the highest floor in our block and pray for safety [/quote]everybody panic run quickly to the roof top (highest floor), wait for helicopter / hovercraft rescue team deliver us from calamity, as powerful water force gush in rapidly filling up lower storeys of office building, floor by floor.

                  problem is helicopter limited seats - maximum take in only around 6 people, including pilot. Time for civil defence police rescue force plan & execute how to bring in MUCH BIGGER transport vehicles, able to load in thousands of distressed office workers trapped in misery during panic emergency. eg: aeroplane

                  Security guards must ensure that the door leading to the roof top is NOT locked. Otherwise, office workers are trapped inside. So far, there isn't any civil defence practice carried out on office buildings before, handling major disaster. At the very most, we only had small \"fire drill\" rehearsal. In this aspect, we are ill prepared ! Must practise able to land an aeroplane on the roof top.

                      All this sounds very scary, m thinking of going to a beach resort during the June Holidays. Is there any risk? :scratchhead:

                        Much lower risk than being involved in a traffic accident.
