A complex of doomsday bunkers in South Dakota that can house 10,000 people is being hailed as the 'back up plan for mankind'.
Equipped with survival gear and custom-made interiors, the city-sized complex could save thousands in case of an asteroid strike or nuclear war, the creator claims.
Although the structures look imposing from the outside they have all the home comforts, including sofas, a coffee table and paintings hanging on the walls.
They even include 'virtual windows' with LEDs to simulate the different views of the outside world.

Even better....how do you keep the huddled masses out? Some dudes may show up in tanks.
All well and good....except if the super volcano of Yellowstone decides crap all over the doomsday safe space
Has anyone else read the “Silo” SiFi series? Plot is that in the near future a political cabal unleashes nukes and a nano-plague during the Democrat convention in Atlanta. The delegates, who were in the process of a planned tour of survival silos in the area, are locked in to “protect” them from Armageddon. They and their descendants are left for hundreds of years to be purged of any ideas of freedom, while the cabal leaders are in hibernation.
So one of the pictures shows what looks like an airplane window view of the ground. Some of it looks like an old LCF from Ellsworth being replicated a few dozen times to give the appearance of something. Even the inside looks a bit like an LCF but without the capsule on its shock absorbers. The numbered bunkers I believe were at the north end of Ellsworth.
I was stationed there over 35 years ago, but my memory could serve me wrong.
How will the government ensure the diversity of the survivors?
10 to 20 people in roughly 2000 square feet?
General "Buck" Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?Dr. Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.
Ambassador de Sadesky: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.
“How long will they have to stay down there?”
How about Hillary and the NWO decide it’s time to reduce the earths population and launch a plague, nuke attack, manmade virus?
Read the 16 year plan had she won. Hint Obama was the first half.
Mineshaft gap?
President Merkin Muffley: You mean people could actually stay down there for a hundred years?
Dr. Strangelove: It would not be difficult, Mein Führer. Nuclear reactors could - heh, I’m sorry, Mr. President - nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely.
If you have to live in SW South Dakota until the radiation dies down, what would be the point of living?!
Well at least you’d be underground with pretty LED fake windows to look out of most of the time. Not nearly so bleak.
I’m assuming Keith Richards will survive, regardless of his location.
Wouldn’t it be a high risk area based on its proximity to the Jellystone caldera?? sounds like another risky scheme to me..
They’re all above ground!
Uh no thanks. :-)
I read the entire series and highly recommend it to you SiFi fans. There is a whole lot more to it than the brief but good summery posted by Martin Tell. It's actually a series of novellas, but you can get it all lumped into three books ("Wool", "Shift", and "Dust"). It's fast-paced and the surprises keep getting better and better all the way through.
