A farmer from Qiantun village in Henan, south of Beijing, has built seven survival pods to save people from natural disasters such as tsunamis and earthquakes.
Liu Qiyuan’s tsunami survival pods are built using a steel frame, a waterproof fiberglass outer layer, and can seat up to 14 people. The pod has extra space for oxygen tanks, food and water, which Li claims hold enough supplies to support 14 people for up to five months. The pod is designed to remain upright in water and is made to withstand the force of tsunami-size waves, according to its designer.
