Why didn't the people in the hotel use the basement shelter?


If a bus can fit them all, surely the shelter would have as well?

If a huge wave was heading my way and they told me to hide in a concrete bunker underground, id take my chances scrambling up the nearest hill.

Well then you'd be the dead one and everyone else would be the wet ones.

I wondered the same thing. That was a big bomb shelter and it was way closer than the top of the mountain at the far end of an 80m climb on a one lane road.

The shelter is a last resort. Since as we see in the film, it can flood.

reply

They had to get on the bus b/c the director needed to create suspense and drama.

reply

Because on real life it would flood and they would all die.

reply

Because water goes down.
