1. First, whitey came along & filled the atmosphere w/ CO2. In the ensuing heat wave, all the planetary snow & ice melted, flooding everything. F’ing whitey. Send cash. The End.

   1. Ha ha ha!!
      That’s pretty well it!

2. 400′ deep by 10 miles wide? Where’d the water come from?

   1. It wouldn’t have anything to do with the mile or two of glacier over Alberta, would it? As the glaciers melted the water couldn’t flow north.

      Two other floods were rising seas from melting ice breaking though the Staights of Gibralter and later the Bosporus.

      1. Straits of Gibralter are 900 metres deep and so no recent ie glacial caused floods from there.

      2. There are some interesting You Tube videos exploring that question. the most convincing one suggests a large meteorite hit (possibly more than one?) the ice sheet, instantly melting vast quantities of ice. The subject of large ice dams suddenly collapsing also make sense.

   2. beaver dam on the Athabasca

3. Why the hell can’t people live in the reality of their own time. Fine, understanding what happened is interesting but unless it has a bearing on today and can can solve an immediate problem, pffffh.

4. Because the Hollywood knows how to tell a tale.

5. Once again: throughout human history, 99% of humanity has lived on a coastline or a river. Coasts and rivers periodically flood, and tales grow in the telling.

   1. There were some enormous floods though. Gibraltar used to be a land bridge. The Mediterranean was a lot lower then. When the land bridge broke open, the Mediterranean rose several hundred feet in a matter of weeks. Israel discovered the ruins of a city off their present coastline, 300 feet under water.
