What would happen if the UK had a serious flood?

Tyranitar24 | August 06, 2008 | News | Misc Gaming Tech/Hardware 
Glasgow, the third most popular city in the UK, is all under water after a serious flood hit the UK hard. As you can see, nearly everything is drenched.. Luckily, it's not a real picture, just a "computer generated scene".

These images were taken from a online game and were created to show what would happen to parts of the UK if a serious flood were to hit and the chaos that it would soon bring because no one would know to do. As you can see in the pictures, almost everything is flooded.

The game that took these images of the UK is called FloodSim and was developed by PlayGen.
In a dramatic image of utter devastation, Glasgow's most famous landmarks are reduced to islands in a sea of flood water.

Such recognisable sights as the SECC, the Armadillo, the Glasgow Science Tower and the Clyde Arc bridge - better known as the 'squinty bridge' - are surrounded by water, leaving the city almost unrecognisable.

Thankfully, the picture is not a photograph but a computer generated scene.

    I vote conspiracy on the part of the ever-sensationalist Daily Mail and whoever else. But maybe I'm being too hasty.

    Title should read;

    " The Daily Mail; Masters of Scare-Mongery ".
