This question is for those who have seen the Wondercon footage. Well, when the tsunami enters the city, i noticed that some people enter a store, close the door, and then not a single drop of water enters the store. Is this possible, or is it a mistake?

Some water does start shooting though the seal of the door, I thought the same thing on the first copy I found but the next one I saw it was clearly there.   I don't know if it's enough to look convincing, but they were smart to chose a place with a door which opens outwards onto the street.

Pressure doors are great aren't they, after all, they are designed that way for a reason.

I would think that, being in Hawaii, doors and building structures are built to withstand such kinds of disasters. I believe Kage432 nailed it, though. Pressure doors.

Deviation is not shameful. Conforming is.

You are the one who made a mistake. Watch the scene closely. Water starts coming through the seal of the door.

Though the scene is really cool, In reality the rushing water would break the glass windows easily.

@JOHNSMITH - Depends on the door in question. Also, leaks like the one we saw in the footage allow for a certain alleviation of pressure after a while and it prevents the glass from shattering. What you get is a window of opportunity to get to the top of the building before the lower floors are flooded.

idk, im not sure, since hawaii is very surrounded by water, if they had built their structure with floods/tsunamis in mind (tsunami proof i guess), thus the glass not cracking, because you'd think it start cracking with a tsunami like that.

Isn't this nitpicking? I mean, I'm no engineer by any stretch, but the water's not deep enough to have enough pressure to crack glass at that depth. Plus, the water's direction is not causing it to crash up against it, it's coming in at a side angle.
