FLOOD! FICTION OR PREDICTION?

It's a bright sunny morning in London and Rob, an engineer at the Thames Barrier, has just returned from his holiday. He receives news of a hurricane in Scotland which has caused a giant tidal wave. Now, that huge wave is moving down the east coast and heading straight for London! Suddenly, the city's famous landmarks are under six metres of water. Thousands of people are dead and millions are homeless. Time is running out for Rob to save the city from total disaster ...

Fortunately, this is just a film. But could it really happen? If the Thames Barrier failed, it would be a real disaster for London. And many scientists are starting to worry. If global warming continues, the consequences will be very serious. Many places along the British coast will be in real danger if the sea level continues to rise.

Fact ... or fiction?

While the film crew were making Flood, Hurricane Katrina destroyed the American city of New Orleans. So, perhaps it wasn't just fiction after all. And then the film's release in 2007 coincided with the wettest summer in British history. Floods devastated many parts of the country. Some areas of London were submerged under half a metre of water. If you saw the photos, you'd think it was just another disaster movie ... Fact ... or fiction?
