The tsunami was in the Indian Ocean and killed more than 200,000 people. At the time, his kids were very young. He had two dogs. Sharpe wondered how he could get them to safety during a tsunami.
Then in 2011, a tsunami killed 16,000 people in Japan. Japan is a country made up of islands in the Pacific Ocean. This is when Sharpe really started working on the escape pod. “I would use this for my family,” Sharpe said.
