Watching the horrific amateur videos of the Japanese tsunami March 2011 on the pages of national newspapers, I saw a ship swept under a bridge and crushed. Then cars swept into buildings.
Noah's Ark are the words which come to my mind. What is the solution? What could the boat designers do? Anchors? Submarines? Bumpers?
What could car designers do? Amphibious vehicles? Signals sent further inland when sea wall are breached. Cars with all round bumpers? But some were tossed upside down.
Oxygen supplies in cars for trapped drivers?
They've done research in London on how to design buildings on stilts so the water passes through. Now they need designers for cars and boats.
