Corrected entry: The skyscrapers seen protruding from the water, just wouldn't still be standing. The weight of water pressure and corrosive rust damage to the foundations would have undermined and toppled them. The last scenes are even sillier 2000 years later the buildings are still there! Despite the fact that the extremes of low temperature would have rendered their entire structure brittle, not to mention the crushing effect of countless billions of tonnes of (possibly drifting) ice.

Correction: The weight of water pressure distributes itself evenly on all surfaces, it does not just push weight down onto an object and would add no load onto the supports of the buildings. I-Beams used in skyscraper construction are made of structural steel or aluminum - they would take centuries to corrode. When the ocean froze it would actually help support the building and when the aliens cut away the ice it is revealed that the ocean has frozen through to the sea bed - all of the ice is therefore held in place and not in motion. The twin towers rising from the ice is a mistake, but we'll have to give the filmakers that one.
