Corrected entry: When the tidal wave hits New York there appears to be a large number of people still in the city, as evidenced by the shots of them running from the wave as it pours through the streets. However, when we see an underwater shot of the front of the tanker, there doesn't appear to be a single dead body anywhere in the water. While I appreciate that a number would have been washed through with the wave, surely this would not be everyone. (00:49:15 - 01:02:45)

Correction: The shot you mention is very isolated (that is, it was a close-up). So what's to say that if there were any dead bodies, they would have all been isolated in this one area where the ship just so happens to stop? As you yourself point out, chances are they would have been swept away much further away (even more likely considering the severity of the tidal wave).
