Were Daniel and his sister (Kylie Minogue)...

...doing it? Clearly they were evil, so were they? Is that part of the subtext?
Furthermore, was Daniel's building (and possibly others) DESIGNED as a death-trap to drown people during a flood, since clearly this worked so well? Was that their plan all along?
Furthermore, were they vampires? Or the lead siblings of some other kind of House of Evil, like Witches or Warlocks? Clearly they were, since Kylie could do magic/teleport after she leaves through the door leading into thin air, but what kind?
What was their origin story, since it must've been of more epic scope than the incidents featured in this film, and possibly spanned centuries, and furthermore, what was their real plan before the quake happened?
Furthermore, did god send the quake to foil them, and if not, WHO DID?
I need to know all this, so what was REALLY going on with them?

I'm surprised this isn't being discussed more. Without Daniel and his sister, San Andreas would be a fairly run-of-the-mill disaster film instead of the spellbinding puzzle audiences fell in love with.

While part of me craves official answers to these questions, overall I prefer the mystery and wonderment of not knowing, and like to drift off to sleep at night as my imagination runs wild, reveling in all the different possibilities.

I know right, like, what the actual *beep*

Furthermore, to be clear, when I say "doing it" I mean bumping ugly.

If without any other changes to the film, Daniel had turned to smoke seconds before the container fell and it was never explained, that would have been the only way his subplot could have been improved.

Except maybe an after the credits scene of he and his sister - both alive and watching the disaster efforts below from an airship, drinking a toast "to evil", having successfully used dark magic to open the bowels of the earth to cause the quakes.

having successfully used dark magic to open the bowels of the earth to cause the quakes

, thereby unleashing the demonic hordes that dwell in the Earth's core(Hell)to prey on mankind? THAT would be an amazing sequel.

interesting theory. personally I think both kylie and her bro were time travellers from the future who beamed away seconds before their demise. as to why there were there in the first place - I believe they came back to witness the catastrophe, stayed too long and then had to get away out of sight to beam back to their own time. oh and they were just posing as siblings. they were in fact lovers..

Daniel had a sister? Kylie Minogue? I must have missed that.

I honestly don't think that Daniel did anything wrong. This movie treats him as a bad guy but he did try to get help for Blake and was run over in a stampede. The whole building was collapsing around him. And shoving the other guy out of the way in the street - hey it's a zero-sum, you-or-me, every-man-for-himself kind of situation. You've gotta do what you've gotta do. I don't think that he deserved to be killed. And I was much more annoyed by the mother's extremely self-righteous, full-of-herself little "YOU LEFT MY DAUGHTER? I"M GOING TO KILL YOU" performance. It's all about them and their precious daughter, everyone else be damned.

It's all about them and their precious daughter, everyone else be damned.

Exactly. At worst, Daniel abandoned 1 person. Raymond Gaines abandoned his city and, worse, his colleagues, many of whom were surely killed in the line of duty or lost family of their own.

Raymond still didn't cause the earthquake, so Daniel and his sister are still more evil.

But the daughter was so fucking hot her life was worth more.

Isn't it also rather suspicious that just over a year after I posted this thread, IMDB begins to collapse, mirroring the events in the movie? Are Daniel and his teleporting witch sister Kylie behind this too? They are shutting down IMDB message boards, just like they shut down San Franciso.
