Granted, many are no longer inhabited, but still they stand as mute testament to their builders' craftsmanship. High water marks are visible after fifteen years at second-story rooftop level!<BR/><BR/>Interestingly, lesser 'modern' structures were instant flotsam, such as those shown in many of your photos.Bobbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-64152123016581362662008-07-20T06:40:00.000-07:002008-07-20T06:40:00.000-07:00Some photos, which were obviously Photoshop edits were tasteless considering the calamity and nature, no pun intended, of the picture.

The man trying to make a phone call from the blue phone booth flooded up to his chest is from Malaysia. <BR/><BR/>http://lh5.ggpht.com/abramsv/SGRuZFSsHTI/AAAAAAAAUmk/ee_fP4UeJrY/s640/2070170031_f4f8ae1196_o.jpg<BR/><BR/>The logo on the front of the phone booth tells me it's from 2005 or before, because in 2005 Telekom Malaysia changed it's name and logo to this http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/countries/my/126744.htmlchayimcd.chayim.g3.mynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-49041655271465152882008-06-29T07:44:00.000-07:002008-06-29T07:44:00.000-07:00I don't see Sean Penn anywhere in those pictures in the mid-west. Very odd. Do you think that Bush bombed the levees in those towns?

Floating ice melting doesn't affect water level. It's the melting of the ice at the SOUTH pole and Greenland that would raise sea levels.simonatorhttp://simonator.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-37945676970208498832008-06-27T04:11:00.000-07:002008-06-27T04:11:00.000-07:00Reality check: If the north pole should melt, how much would the water level rise? <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy" REL="nofollow">Hint</A>Geirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13274906541593485033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-85504464815288695642008-06-27T01:41:00.000-07:002008-06-27T01:41:00.000-07:00The Billboard isn't a photoshop, it was a publicity stunt for the film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
