Japanese demand for nuclear shelters, purifiers surges as North Korea tension mounts

By Kiyoshi Takenaka | TOKYO

Sales of nuclear shelters and radiation-blocking air purifiers have surged in Japan in recent weeks as North Korea has pressed ahead with missile tests in defiance of U.N. sanctions.

A small company that specializes in building nuclear shelters, generally under people's houses, has received eight orders in April alone compared with six orders during a typical year.

The company, Oribe Seiki Seisakusho, based in Kobe, western Japan, also has sold out of 50 Swiss-made air purifiers, which are said to keep out radiation and poisonous gas, and is trying to get more, said Nobuko Oribe, the company's director.

Hallways away from windows might work better...

And then one of me kissing my butt goodbye.

Some wish we could return to the 1950s, and in some ways we have.

Anyone that grew up in the 1950s will remember “duck and cover”.

Every week a air raid siren would go off in our town as they tested to make sure they worked

Buildings had civil defense signs as a place to go if under an attack.

So we have come full circle again because we (the American government) failed to complete the job in the 1950s and eliminate North Korea.

Well, that'll save them if a ceiling tile should fall.

Better yet, Japan should take Fat Boy out before he hits the button.

Duck and Cover. I did that during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I survived...

10 minutes? Not enough time to start those stretching exercises I’ve been putting of to be able to kiss my butt goodbye.

Use to be fall out shelters were built into schools here in the states the grade and HS I went to had them signs and supplies also.

But we let it all to heck under MAD.

Tax credits should be a given for shelters built in any building and promoted.

You should study the works of Cresson Henry Kearny and his manual on Nuclear war survival skills.

Then you might realize how foolish your statement is.

[VTenigma]

Uptight much? It was a joke hey.

[riverrunner]

Way too much of we are all going to die we can not do any thing about it pushed by the left. To be real funny.

[sphinx]

Well, that'll save them if a ceiling tile should fall.

Shattered glass would cut and blind people for miles outside the kill zone. Duck and cover makes perfect sense for classrooms.

Unless Japan or the US is able to shoot down a nuclear armed Nork missile, there is a good chance Japan could be attacked successfully. Accuracy is not an issue in densely populated Japan and even if the warhead fizzled it could spread radioactive fallout over many populated areas. The big question is how the US should react to this attack. We would be obligated by treaty to defend Japan. I’m certain Kim jung-nutball would unleash an artillery barrage against Seoul if invaded or attacked. We would have control of the skies over North Korea and could deliver punishing air strikes. Perhaps the best response would be an immediate decapitating strike...find Little Kim and bomb him to oblivion

This type of knowledge should still be wide spread instead of the Kiss my butt good bye type.
