If you had watched the movie, you would know that the facility they were building the arks in had already been damaged by earthquakes, making it compromised, in order to have a secure facility like the one you are referring to that couldn’t be flooded, you have to pray that no severe earthquakes occur in the area your building it, and since the very crust of the earth is shifting about during this whole event, the chances of that happening ANYWHERE on the planet are is basically zero, quakes are happening EVERYWHERE. The arks meanwhile are watertight (when sealed properly) and the reason they built multiple arks, is so that if one is damaged, as there was in the movie, the others will still be operational, and once the water begins receding, they can make landfall somewhere else, exactly like in the Noah’s Ark story.

[@agustinvizcaino9274]

​@@SIMULACRA37 to me, it makes sense. Take the Titanic, for example. It's hull was designed to take the full force of the ocean opposing it as it advanced, which it did with no issue- water (and air, in my example), being a fluid, exerts force but can flow around obstacles if it has to. However, when it grazed a solid, floating object made out of ice (which had even less density than the water)... well, the result got 11 Oscars. The thing is that a solid object (like a massive plane made out of aluminum) applies all of its kinetic energy at once at the point of impact, because all of its atoms are strongly linked and really really want to stay that way. The water hitting those anchors found it easier to just flow around them than to try to get them out of their way, while the plane said "I have 147.77 megajoules of kinetic energy here, and you're going to have to deal with every single one of them over the next two seconds if you want to stop me". Now, I'm not a structural engineer, so trust one's word way before mine in this matter.

@@SIMULACRA37 I thought I'd replied but apparently I deleted it by accident. To me, it makes sense. For water it's easier to flow around the anchor than to push it out of its way, since it's a fluid. But a plane is a solid object whose atoms are linked together and really want to stay that way, so all of its combined 380 tonnes' worth of kinetic energy get transferred in an instant at the point of impact. Similar to when Titanic grazed a solid iceberg and gave us a 11-Oscars movie as a result, despite it's hull having had no trouble "breaking" through the entire ocean made out of relatively denser water while it was sailing. Or how metallic jet engine turbines can take super-hot and high pressure air no problem, but the moment a measly bird made out of flesh and bone gets in...

@@agustinvizcaino9274 If titanic tried to sail through water at the speed of that tsunami, it would crumple up under the force of the water. Simulacra is right, if it can hold up to a billion tons of water smashing into it at hundreds of miles an hour, it can hold up to a 400 tonne aluminium tube that floats into it relatively slowly. The plane would disintegrate, the clamps and ship would be fine. It's mass times velocity, and that initial wave has both in spades, and while it flows around it easier than a solid object, you still need to redirect its kinetic energy, meaning that both ship and clamps would need to withstand millions of tonnes of force.
