Great ball of China: Farmer builds survival pod to save him (and 13 others) from tsunami, earthquake... and Mayan doomsday

Farmer Liu Qiyuan has built seven pods consisting of a fibreglass shell around a steel frame
He hopes they will be adopted by government departments and international organisations for use in the event of tsunamis and earthquake
The airtight spheres contain oxygen tanks and seatbelts with space for around 14 people, and remain upright when in water

mmmm, not sure I would want to be in one,...I watched the tsunami knocking down buildings and land masses,... so I wouldnt think that a firberglass on metal ball would survive,.... having said that... if it didnt hit anything too hard, being a ball it might just roll over obsticals,... it would be one hell of a ride though..Smile
