We wanted to add an
interesting element to
our timeline and decided
to put our prediction
onto the timeline for
the year 2080. We then
researched and found
informations on studies
that have mentioned that
the O2 arena would be
underwater by the year
2050.
The 12 events chosen are:
1952 South Metropolitan Gasworks
1997 Construction of the dome
2007 The O2 opens
2008 The olympic torch relay passes the O2
1999 Construction of the dome completed
2012 Up in the o2 opens
2000 Jan Dome opens to the public as “Millenium Dome”
2018 The icon shopping outlet opens
2000 Nov Thieves break into the diamond exhibit
2022 The O2 roof severely damaged by storm eunice
2000 Dec Millenium dome closes
2080 O2 transforms into an underwater dome for shelter
