In the movie “2012” – for reasons unclear to me – the White House is hit not only by a gigantic ocean wave but by a gigantic ocean wave carying a US-Navy aircraft carrier. The movie is from 2009.

This swimming building in an artificial lake in Saxonia, combines the commemoration of two sunken citites: The shape of the dome resembles the church of Magdeborn, a former town that was evicted in the 1970s and the area was later flooded by the lake. The name however refers to the mythical sunken city Vineta, located in the Baltic sea in or closeby the Szczecin Lagoon. The building is also used as an “event center”.
