Maybe hire an Engineer next time. Seedy humans don’t always think things through.
And if they overlooked basic safeguards like that, I’m sure they have no plan for an asteroid, neutron stars or other dangers floating around us.

which are scanned with X-rays after they get to the island to make sure nothing but seeds are inside. After the X-rays, all the seeds are genetically modified.
Maybe some thirty foot grasshoppers too.

The rediculousness of the story aside, this seed cache was probably started so that the elite can survive once the hoi polloi have been exterminated in a war of the elite’s making.

2 thoughts come to mind...
1- Why not ask Monsanto for a bunch of seeds? Aren’t they good enough?
2- They probably put the bank there because (so I heard) when Planet X hits the earth, the earth will rotate down and the poles will be in the tropics/temperate zone, so it’ll be handy to have the seeds right there.

Obviously a stupid place to put the Global Seed Vault.
With all that water the seeds will germinate and it will be a jungle in there....
To: blam
Sounds like somebody forgot the old adage about not putting all of one’s eggs in one basket. For something this critical, why not have at least four vault sites in various locations / geologies?
