In the Movie

The scene where Sam and other survivors flee from the giant tsunami that hit New York and hide from it in the library. But the wave is just the beginning - immediately after it, the temperature dropped below zero and the group of people is forced to burn books to keep warm.

In Reality

The scene was filmed in the main building of the New York Public Library. It was completed in 1910, but only opened in 1911, as it took a year to place more than one million books on the shelves. In the 1980s, the library was expanded under the adjacent Bryant Park, where kilometers of new shelves were installed to store the growing collection.
