The Earth's crust is destabilizing
~ Satnam Tsurutani to Adrian Helmsley


Dr. Satnam Tsurutani was an Indian physicist in 2012, who discovered the Sun was releasing massive amounts of neutrinos and heating up the Earth's core, causing the events of the 2012 Apocalypse to occur. He was a casualty of the apocalypse.

He was killed with his family alongside thousands of others when a gigantic tsunami swept the Nampan Plateau in Eastern India after an assigned airlift never arrived to pick him and his family up to safety.

Biography[]

In the year 2009, Satnam, an Indian astrophysicist, met Dr. Adrian Helmsley at the Naga Deng Copper Mine, an underground lab where Satnam worked.

Satnam took Adrian to the lab and brought him to his computer to show previous solar eruptions from the Sun along with data of neutrinos blasted within these bursts. For the first time, the neutrinos were causing a physical reaction that was heating the Earth's core.

2012 Apocalypse[]

In 2012, while Adrian was collecting data at Yellowstone National Park, Satnam mentioned to Adrian that his fellow colleagues from Argentina and Ontario had almost identical results as Yellowstone, also adding that he triple-checked the results, hoping they were wrong and that the Earth's crust was destabilizing earlier than expected. Satnam told Adrian that evacuations had to start immediately, and Adrian replied that he would bring an airlift to Delhi, where Satnam and his family could board for evacuation. Satnam thanked Adrian and wished him good luck.

Death[]

Satnam was never mentioned when the destruction all happened. However, by the time Adrian boarded the Arks with Carl Anheuser, Frederick West, Laura Wilson and Scotty, Satnam and his family were stranded on the Nampan Plateau. As the siren below afar, Satnam turns around and sees a large tsunami heading towards them.

Satnam sent a call to Adrian, warning him of the coming tsunami, and mentions the airlift from Delhi never came. He muttered his last words and embraced his family as the tsunami neared.

Trivia[]

  • Satnam Tsurutani was portrayed by British actor Jimi Mistry.
  • While at the Nampan Plateau, he is somehow able to call Helmsley, though it's previously mentioned by the Government that they had lost all contact with communication on Earth. It's also unlikely cellphones would be the communication device working, presuming cellphone towers would likely be the ones damaged or destroyed.
