Man emerges from bunker 14 years after Y2K scare
CBC.ca ^ | December 11, 2013 | Peter Oldring

Posted on 12/17/2013 10:48:36 AM PST by Daffynition

January 1, 2000 was the day that our computers were meant to fail us and change our lives forever. It was also the day that 44 year old Norman Feller headed into his underground bunker over fears of the fallout from the Y2K virus. Remarkably Mr. Feller spent the next 14 years in isolation only to emerge this past September.

In this touching documentary, Peter Oldring visits with Norman to learn more about his unbelievable decision to live underground.

It's still not safe to come out, Norman. Go back.

“In this touching documentary,...”

Does touching mean pathetic?

He looks terrible—see what close to 14 years without booze can do?

Poor Norman. He looks exactly like he spent 14 years in isolation. I’ll read the article, but my guess is that the isolation had a deleterious impact on his mental health.

Norman: *Mind if we stop for a cigarette? “

Reporter: *We’ll have to go outside.”

Norman: *What?*

Considering how things have deteriorated since then, if I was him, I’d go back in for another 14 years...

My suspicion is that his mental health was suspect before he went into the bunker.

I would guess that someone who chose 14 years of isolation without any evidence of a need, had some significant issues beforehand.

Keeping laughing all you pollys!

Don't come crying outside my bunker door when you realize that Y2K is real.

I'm heavily armed and I'm keeping my vacuum sealed fruit seeds for me and mine!
