Or they could run if they look funny walking fast.

[MrB]

Or they could learn to surf better...

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Walk fast! Walk fast for your lives!

[MeshugeMikey]

and how many dollars did this study cost us??

[oh8eleven]

... a new study shows.
It took a "study" to figure this out? A "study" undoubtedly paid for via a taxpayer funded grant.

[1Old Pro]

Wood added the study provides the most detailed look yet at tsunami risks

I'd hate to see the previous reports if this one is the most thoughtful.

[JoeDetweiler]

But what about the people who are already on high ground...shouldn’t they walk slower?

[cripplecreek]

And if a frog had wings he wouldn’t bump his ass hoppin.

[WayneS]

I have GOT to get myself a federal grant to do an irrelevant study that draws stupidly obvious conclusions.

[ansel12]

Duck and cover would save even more lives in a nuclear blast, and people mock the heck out of it for some reason.

[Texan5]

Either this is from the Onion, or more of OUR money just went down the rabbit hole...

[demshateGod]

I recall videos of Japan's tsunami where people were just strolling up the hill, then got washed away.

[JoeProBono]

[seawolf101]

And how much money did they spend trying to figure this out?

I figure these are the same people that spend millions trying to figure out why is ice cold and coffee hot.

[tacticalogic]

NO! NO! NO!

They don't need to walk faster. They need to start walking sooner!

[Theoria]

In order to escape safely from the everyday dangers of zombies and tsunamis, stay in shape. That should be part of every preppers commandments.

Cue: Ministry Of The Silly Walks by Monty Python:

1:26: “I have a silly walk and would like to obtain a government grant to develop it.”

[AppyPappy]

Why won’t the government walk faster for me?

[joshua c]

There was a much higher fatality rate for those walking in the wrong direction.

Tsunamis Tsuck!

[EagleUSA]

Better yet....call NOAH’S BOAT WORKS...and place an order.

[a fool in paradise]

Emergency preparedness experts generally agree that after the quake and tsunami, most roads will be too damaged for driving, so people will have to walk to safety.

Ever get into a crowd all moving the same way (evacuating an event like a concert or sporting event)? Ever notice that some people stop or walk against the motion?

Magnify that by 100.

And a stampede that encounters some stopage or slow down would increase the body count (not from the storm, either).
