they showed it on the most recent news report. I tried to google it pero mga luma pa yung mga news clips.

Yung test na ginawa ay tulad nung sa concrete cylinder test (compression). Hindi ko lang ma-recall kung ilang force ang kaya. Then sinubukan din nila sa dagat, hinatak ng speedboat. (pero mas maganda sana kung sa ilog na malakas ang agos nila ginawa). Yung reporter mismo nasa loob. May vent siya na dalawa. Im not sure kung paano magiging water-tight yun, since pwede pumasok ang hangin.

The difference would be if the capsule is anchored, once the tsunami recedes (hours later), you know you will still be in the same place (dry land). If it's free to move, you might be moved kilometers way or worst, swept into the sea.

I'm thinking this query might have been raised to the designers. The curious thing is what is their reply?
