The Incredble Floating Mosque designed to withstand a Tsunami

One of the most devastating natural phenomena is the Tsunami. Meters high water moving at speed striking a landmass destroying almost everything in its path. Picking up debris and moving inland for long distances is a scene that is terrifying in the extreme. There is not much that can stop or even slow down this power. Even buildings are destroyed in an instant. There are a few buildings around the world that can withstand anything this powerful. One of these is the Floating Mosque in Penang, Malaysia. It is a beautiful building and it looks like it is floating in the water, especially at high tide. It has however at least three design elements that are designed to work with the Tsunami to counteract the incoming waves. One is that it is set up on stilts or columns the allow the water flow to pass under the structure, without damage to its integrity. The second is that it completely circular. This allows the water to flow around it, almost like the prow of a ship. The third is the very large doors all around. If the water was to top the structure, it would have a free passage through the building. Let us hope and pray that it is never tested in a real life situation, but if it has to, it has a better chance of surviving such a catastrophe.
