continuing to drop in the North Sea

oppressor forces are pushing for further

updates

we're inundated with requests I need to

run the laser shipping forecast okay

quiet everyone

this storm we've been trapped in the

last few days I need everything on it

where it's headed

how fast get me the latest atmospheric

pressure reports for the Northeast and

everything you've got from the British

Oceanic data center all right in 40

minutes I'm briefing the Deputy Prime

Minister

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

the thames barrier became operational in

1983 and there's the largest fixed title

defense system in the world there's ten

moveable gates stretching 500 meters

across the river and is capable of

holding back billions of gallons of

water that would otherwise flood london

miss lorrison these came for you thank

you

[Music]

graphing them just coke one job I'll

make it quick

forward to this been a while since we

did everything together

nothing let's get going big news this

will be what you're interested in that

figures from the tidal gauges at Murray

and Aberdeen things aren't looking too

clever with this film is gone

I just like you'd have an impact on our

timing nothing's showing up this year

but we're double check with the Met

Office now Daniels too high tide can you

make calculate the tides expected height

when it reaches London Bridge I'll

activate the normal protocol for a high

tide closure

[Music]

the operation continues here in WIC

despite continuing hazardous conditions

air rescue support has been called in

but those in need of rescue far

outnumber available resources leaving

many stranded on rooftops a nightmare

focus from which are the current death

toll at 21 another 15 are missing we can

expect those numbers to rise

still waiting for reports from further

along the coast and the prime minister

is calling in from Australia in about 10

minutes so I need a damn good

explanation of why we had no warning sir

isn't this the same storm that hit the

east coast of the United States

forecasting is not an exact size haven't

you been tracking it across the Atlantic

for the past five days the storm is

constantly changing

you have models don't you with respect

when a storm surge is moving this fast

there's no scientific means of

predicting exactly what it's gonna do by

the time we have new data it's already

out of date sorry storm surge Deputy

Prime Minister if you'd allow me so this

particular storm is a massive

low-pressure system it's essentially a

hurricane

as the low pressure pushes down on the

sea water sucked up into a hump

this is daughter and this is what hit

wick yes so it was the size of this

thing we don't know yet but they can't

be anything up to 25 feet above normal

sea level stretching over a thousand

square miles that volume gets even

greater as the surge is pushed into

shallow coastal waters what's gonna

happen next

well based on the available data the

storm is moving northeast back into the

North Sea but so the worst of it's over

I believe sir

they're actually you can't predict what

this storm is going to do at all

can you I'm confident about this sir

deployed full emergency services within

a 50-mile radius a quick and use all

available resources to check the sea

defences below WIC already annoyed right

let's try under everything we can and

hope this time you might be right

[Music]

[Music]

okay like that

yeah that's calling to remind you is

your granddaughters christening at 10

o'clock I haven't forgotten

hmm please don't be late and dad just so

idea yes I do does Rob know I've been

there dad I want you there and your

granddaughter wants you there it's a big

day for you no it's a no excuses please

turn o'clock then don't be late

should we step through those figures to

the coastal engineering committee no

let's look at them again when I get back

are they that bad my granddaughter's

christening now I got her a present but

got him where I left it ah yes well

spotted girl witnessing the worst storm

[Music]

regions have been devastated by the

strong winds and high tides created by

the massive low-pressure system the

accompanying storm surge has

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

hello welcome Leonard Morrison professor

Morrison been a long time indeed I have

a favor to ask you

now's not really a good time professor

the boss is on the warpath and we're

flat-out dealing with this storm this

won't take a minute

could you email me the figures from all

the type gauges south of Aberdeen that's

why you need that information let's call

it professional curiosity

we can call it Andy I'm not sure that's

what the boss it calling it is just

between you and me Malcolm if I didn't

need them oh it's me you okay I'm on the

mainland checked out the seawall wing

[ __ ]

[Music]

coverage from our birth mom thanks

hundreds mom has sent you in some cakes

ago why don't you just take them home

don't think it's me and she's trying to

fatten up penny penny can you get me

Samantha Morrison at the barrier will do

yeah absolutely ma'am as you know due to

the high spring tide and the storm

damage in Scotland we are planning a

precautionary closure but if anything

comes up I will certainly let you know

thanks penny

get me the Met Office I assure you

Commissioner you have the full

cooperation of the Met Office on this

I've emailed you the latest updates

we're on top of everything

professor I'm a bit busy actually

yeah don't you think they're on the high

side

nothing to be unexpected given the

circumstances I fed the numbers into my

computer model search continues to this

rate the entire east coast of England

could be in trouble

the latest on the tidal gauges let it go

yes just Hulman

the chairman of the US Federal Bank mr.

Moyes you're on speakerphone Arthur I'm

sorry to hear about your casualties well

I appreciate that

Arthur now convey your sentiments to the

Prime Minister I'm sure the Dow's

dropped a further 40 points overnight

confidence has been lower here since the

storm damage in Maine and we have got

some big play of stuffing some huge

quantities of stock could be facing a

major meltdown but I'm sorry to hear

that Arthur but you know just at this

moment we're trying to deal with the

human catastrophe I'm just calling to

let you know you could be freezing an

economic one to a couple of these guys

have started dumping UK stock it's

having a ripple effect thanks Arthur

talk to you later

well the Treasury yeah

30 cool no no nothing to worry about no

I just let me know when he calls in all

right Anna boy

nice then hey what are you doing here

problem impair one no one else available

yeah does he know you hate roses oh this

it must be my lucky day they said be the

big boss to push around are you wrong

there Frank looking as lovely as ever

yeah should we go why not

[Music]

this program for breaking news from the

English coast this severe storm that hit

quick Attleboro earlier today is

continuing to wreak havoc further south

havoc left a trail of devastation in

Scotland the storm is now battering the

coastal towns of northern England

our guys don't think it's anything major

but with this early closure and seeing

so many pay you guys so much just to sit

around I thought I might call on your

services think you means specialist

expertise don't you what are you reading

could be corrosion or wear problem in

the main barracks which would affect

lift capacity yeah we thought as much

leave it with me I'll run some

ultrasonic tests if it turns up positive

if we wait nine months for the pass to

the line on my way sorry all right

[Music]

now where are you

it's me gives a call back please is dead

okay

[Music]

hi I'm sorry I can't come to the phone

right now

[Music]

[Music]

Conroy's ii still funny paralyzes

one day we're not gonna need any more

body bags before this day is out you

latest figures have the strong heading

east into the North Sea to launch the

Hook of Holland that's what you taught

me this morning

what about our Brothe sir with all due

respect this storm is not behaving

within expected parameters as the danger

past yes or no it's difficult to say if

the prevailing winds were to drive the

storm south the search would be squeezed

between the British coastline and

mainland Europe this creates a funneling

effect and raises sea level that's just

a worst-case scenario most surges lose

momentum before that they they just

peter out not always there

[Music]

so what do you think or nothing of

immediate concern she's pretty tough

yeah how much longer do you need [ __ ]

deadlines for closure well we need you

out of here in two and a half hours oh

well in that case

a gal you wasted as possible then shall

I

[Music]

you know I didn't mean it like that yeah

yeah

[Music]

where you can manage til Frank gets back

oh you don't worry about it

his name is Duncan

[Music]

we've been out a few times I don't need

to explain myself to you yeah that's

right

so I iron

he's blinding yourself cuz you asked no

it didn't cuz he wanted to know he's an

architect oh really

England are two new up I think I thought

you weren't pr3 I didn't think you were

checking the scores to nip oh you're

Canadian well you

the Deputy Prime Minister has visited

the disaster zone and has met with some

of the survivors

he has reassured the public that

everything is being done by the

government or is it possible that this

storm could change its course if we did

see the storm change its current course

and a severe rise in sea level there

could be extensive flooding down the

east coast of England damage estimate

the last time we saw something similar

us 1953 a storm that hit East Anglia in

candy island kill three hundred people

on land another 200 of sea nearly that

surge was a body of water four meters

high and the size of Ireland

it's a pretty serious

worst-case-scenario present we know that

this storm is heading out to sea

experience suggests it would be

pointless to cause further and

unnecessary alarm at this stage with

more time Deputy Prime Minister with

more data we can build a better picture

right so tell me how the hell am I gonna

reassure the public

Sam whoreson

is every single piece

change to the regular maintenance

program our in-house guys inspect all

year round there's a test closure every

month at least one gates is operated

every day without failures but the test

closures are started any weather related

closures 21 in the last year in the

1980s we were averaging maybe one a year

but it's Dennis rising sea-levels on

particular weather patterns exactly

Frank can I get a minute alone with Rob

truth look

the flowers

a bit of a surprise

I just got a call from in it oh yeah

there's been a car accident something to

do with the storm

it's tell me

it's alright

[Music]

sir

is he alright

I'm sorry

[Music]

ma come be come on base mistake

[Music]

let's kill me why

[Music]

this is negative but they don't send him

there I put a ride in the Parthenon stop

you're not what do you think they're

gonna bite her his wife and kids

kuzava

[Music]

Stephen Thanks does the Prime Minister

have any plans to cancel his tour of the

Commonwealth return home here to deal

with this crisis well the situation is

fully under control of course but yes

the Prime Minister will be flying home

from Sydney Vica parties very keen to be

here for and with the British public at

this time why was there no warning well

you know just at this present time we're

concentrating on managing the situation

but someone must be responsible with

respect assigning blame at this point of

time is really not very constructive

these latest figures from the Met Office

indicate that the storm is heading

eastwards out into the North Sea the

danger is past well yes yes I am very

pleased to be able to say that the

indicators at the present time sure that

our coastline is no longer under threat

[Music]

right there you are

next time let me know what's coming on I

was worried to think about you I've been

trying mom all morning and she's not

picking up

there's been this storm in width did you

know dad I'm sorry

look there's been a lot of damage I've

been weak yeah and your mama need gran

no one's been able to trace them yet but

there are people out there they're

looking for them it's just a lot of

confusion and panic at the moment and I

don't know that they've got lost in a

mayhem okay there's a gentleman in

reception I explained you were busy but

he won't take no for an answer

he's insisting on seeing you no he says

his name's Leonard Morrison excuse me

sorry to have to probably yes no it's

fine

I know if you're here because of Ryan

yeah yeah he's here he's looking into

something for us we have an early

closure to me this has nothing to do

with oh he's very upset

we've just had some terrible news

Tony Lombardi was killed this morning

Tony what happened he was caught in the

storm Oh God

robust people yes this storm that's why

I'm here

the impact of the title search

understorms we have all the latest

readings there was no reason for

immediate concern and I'm in touch with

the med office I just need to access

some data yeah so I can be sure of what

we're dealing with I have the utmost

respect for your research it inspired me

as a student but we do not deal in

theory here you of all people know that

it'll take five minutes

[Music]

you're right

as many feels good

was heading east towards pollen two

hours ago

heading straight for us the storm on the

surge are dangerous enough but tonight

high tide is the highest tide of the

year which is why we are closing the

barrier my computer model is now

predicting that the storm and the surge

will reach the mouth of the Thames

Estuary at high tide this means that the

volume of water moving up river would be

massively amplified don't underestimate

the barrier it's designed specifically

for problems like this not this much

water

son yeah I wouldn't come here spoken

with any of your old colleagues at the

Environment Agency about this I'm not

taking my calls

you're saying the confluence of storm

surgeon tide could be catastrophic

[Music]

let me see the model now we've got a

client stay positive when she didn't

pick her phone up

I thought you'd had another fight with

her and she switched off me and your mom

I mean we both know this hasn't been

easy for you you don't understand I

spoke to her this morning and it was me

I hung up on us and it was stupid and I

just wanted to say your mom's a very

understanding woman yeah I should know

pushed it to the limit enough times and

she wouldn't have had a second thought

about it really you can tell her when

you see her that that you didn't mean it

can't we dig inside mission unless Sam

Morrison I Sam we may have a problem

he's an expert in the field professor

Morrison has uncovered some worrying

data according to this it looks as

though serious yes ma'am let me get

right back to you of course

robbed

[Music]

Martha's environmental scientist he was

chief analyst at the flood hazard

Research Center and sat on a

parliamentary Advisory Committee which

reported on the siting of the barrier

the report he submitted outlined the key

floor he reckoned that the barrier was

situated in the wrong place and

recommended that it be built closer to

the mouth of the Thames Estuary

closer to the sea basically his concern

Center on the fact that under certain

tidal conditions the barrier could be

overwhelmed

get me some Merson again

he just turned up he's here about the

barrier yeah of course he is

look I know that this is really bad

timing but I do think we need to listen

to what your father has to say I'm

carriers to say if this storm changes

direction is that what this is about

and I don't don't tell me um storm surge

coincides with spring tide in the

barrier won't hold am i right

I've seen the forecasting on his model

it's a very real possibility you still

don't get it do it this is an obsession

this obsession destroyed our lives he's

been wrong from the very start and he

won't accept it even when it meant

losing his own family my mother died

heartbroken over this why should I

listen to him there

[Music]

I don't understand

but we've lost Tony to the storm

for his sake please

just hear your father out

[Music]

I knew Hopkins was the latest position

the storm has dramatically altered its

course within the last hour it's likely

to hit the southeastern coast of England

later this afternoon can you be more

specific well we're looking at gales of

up to 80 miles an hour so I think we

should anticipate considerable damage

you're all missing the point with

respect professor Morrison this is

hardly an appropriate forum for your

theories well four counts from the Met

Office in the Environment Agency haven't

been very accurate so far have they

sorry professor please continue assuming

no change in wind conditions my figures

indicate that this storm and the tidal

surge traveling with it will reach

southeast England and the Thames Estuary

at high tide what does that mean the

combined volume of water will overwhelm

the Thames Barrier

to

but are you saying that central London

is now a risk I'm afraid I am

my most conservative estimate is that

the barrier will be able topped by 4

meters and I'm not talking here about a

single wave this is an event that could

last for hours

- which areas of most at risk the danger

zone includes the Docklands Light

Railway 68 underground stations 30

mainline stations as you will see there

are three world heritage sites at risk

eight power stations dozens of museums

and art galleries

and of course your location in Whitehall

what does this mean in terms of

population to 16 hospitals 402 schools

approximately one and a half million

people either live or work within the

flood danger sir

how long have we got because I've

received from the Met Office indicate

that the storm will reach the Thames

Estuary three hours from now

do you count that seven o'clock this

evening why didn't anyone see this

coming what somebody did

we need to initiate evacuation protocol

immediately the longer we delay the

decision to evacuate the greater the

risk of there being substantial

casualties

sir

do it

[Music]

problem

thanks for in there well looks like you

were right I'm sorry I didn't believe

you

[Music]

going back it off now we're back up in

pennies all right

if anybody

okay now listen I want you to do

something for me now don't ask questions

just just listen get in the car take the

family and get as far away from London's

you can I want you to drive as fast as

you possibly can

gonna look dad dad's here with me at the

barrier don't ask question just do what

I'm saying

Kate listen listen dad was right all

along

yeah

your boy

[Music]

other

[Music]

would you track down the ghost no they

should be leaving the cinema right now

hey make sure you call her - mom it was

my understanding the emergency services

would receive at least 12 hours clear

warning of a major flood alert and we've

had barely three what the hell have you

people been doing when this gets out

there's going to be panic on an

unprecedented scale we have less than

three hours before the surge hits the

barrier how long can we keep the

underground running we'll have to clear

the lines an hour before the water hits

but that only gives us two hours it was

less to clear the tunnels by 6:20 London

Underground again I have to start

withdrawing surfaces around five o'clock

impossible that's barely enough for now

Russia will have already started look

trains have to be run out to depose

staff pull stations closed your trains

means was shifting fewer passengers once

word gets out stations will fill with

people trying to get out of London

planes that do manage to get through are

gonna be full before they even reach

those platforms

[Music]

no your guardian definitely they stopped

breathing

[Music]

all major active routes and gridlock

within 40 minutes of the major public

alert I star all London airports posting

media to be put under military

jurisdiction we need to issue the public

with instructions they need to be told

to get themselves to high ground

wherever possible we need to move as

many people as possible to the safety

points the problem is they won't know

where they are they won't even recognize

the sound of the evacuation sirens

because we haven't had time to get that

information out so we need media

cooperation

it'll be critical otherwise we're

looking at hundreds of thousands being

left stranded in the flood zone

right I'm declaring a state of emergency

the Emergency Management Committee in

Cobra government advice

[Applause]

[Music]

i ground wherever possible

[Music]

[Music]

initially getting closer now right away

sir

[Applause]

[Music]

tell Frank I'm heading down to the GM

now is dead

come on deal we're all here yeah okay

okay so where we headed right down to

the lower front Bruce Scott changes

circles oh I have to brief the Prime

Minister so I need a status update

barriers initiated closure and

evacuation procedures have been

activated was sir no population movement

on this scale in this time frame has

ever been attempted we're dealing with

millions of people

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

space between the gate was reduced to 75

millimeters for right on time

I couldn't get to educate

we have to get these people moving

colleagues moving on Frankie the boys

are refusing to go

if we have a chance to stop this let's

get up here Deputy Prime Minister all

military aircraft are committed

elsewhere

well then requisition a civilian one top

priority

server up against it scared of this

thing is even New Orleans can't compare

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

okay I'm really concerned about the

security situation now standing this

will give the military certain powers

limited powers to overrule civil

authorities during this current state of

emergency what I must retain authority

to coordinate air rescue I need to get

thousands of civilians to safety points

and I can't do that without military

systems all transported all vehicles

must remain under Cobras command we're

more than willing to work the Cobra mom

but I have to ensure the security of all

rescue personnel buildings government

property of course with respect

everything including security concerns

must remain under the control of Cobra

and Commissioner Nash is to be given

full military cooperation in accordance

with the gree protocol I'm not trying to

change procedure sir but if civilian

unrest does get out of hand I have to be

able to react accordingly yes but

cooperation is what's needed if we're to

save lives and you work under Cobra in

all areas of the evacuation reporting to

Commissioner Marsh is that agreed

major-general yes sir

where's my liaison officer behind you

man

[Music]

Phil it's locked and they come on and I

am having serious second thoughts about

all this young lad like me stuck on the

ground with a bloke

mom what it seems the girls left her

message early and the confusion we

didn't get it then meet my friends in

town it could be anywhere I'll keep

trying to get through

another boat

[Music]

[Applause]

latest the facts because status

reporting the royal family

they've been safely move to Balmoral all

right

bullet points please we need to look at

the timescale we're working to mum

there's no sign of a slow down the

momentum of the surge itself is enough

to keep the water coming but there's no

let-up in the wind in the rain that's

just adding to the problem the met storm

forecast led us down completely is this

data reliable an event on this scale is

practically unheard of this is a

thousand year storm this latest data

feed is as accurate as can be yeah but I

need to know what further collateral

damage we can expect if the surge

maintains its current momentum we have

Hardin Oh an hour before most of central

London is under water - at most what can

be achieved in two hours

[Music]

no matter how fast we work we're not

gonna get everyone out so we should

concentrate our efforts on the key

evacuation areas in the southwest we

should deploy the bulk of our troops

than any available emergency service

personnel here agreed but we'll be

abandoning this entire corridor of

people in the southeast bones illusion

given this to be this thing moving we we

have no choice we have to prioritize

furgus on the southwest mr. Poole right

at central brief in 15 minutes

the next press conference inside awful

just movie tonight

[Music]

- to be a large fun

what's up sit on this junk

so far we're estimating that we managed

to clear about half a million people

they're going early in the photo number

of those still trapped awaiting rescue

yeah Uncle Phil man you know the rescue

phase would be a hundred times more

difficult given the time we have I'm

having to move my guys to cut the post

because of road closures all of which is

losing a small time yes transport let's

see what we can do to speed up the

movement of rescue personnel

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

the Commissioner we have to shut down

the gas and electricity mains in

Deptford Kennington Camberwell and burns

the hospitals can only run so long on

backup Gennie's and we're a long way

from having them all evacuated it's that

we could have another fire of london on

our hands

the heavy flooding at Tower Hill on most

of the main roads into the city a lot

the major route spouts are now unusable

most of the bridges are currently

gridlocked the links between South

London and the north have been

effectively severed EA's with major

general Ashcroft you see if any of the

military carriers can get through it's

crucial that we don't leave these areas

in the south cut off from support what's
