The hardened facility is capable of withstanding a substantial close range nuclear blast, a direct airplane crash, biological and chemical agents, shock waves, earthquakes, tsunami, electro-magnetic pulses, and virtually any armed attack.

The complex includes over 21,108 square meters (227,904 square feet) of secured, blast proof living areas; and, an additional 4,079 square meters (43,906 square feet) of above-ground office and warehouse buildings, including a train servicing depot. The typical chamber area is 5 meters wide (16.40 feet), by 6 meters tall (19.68 feet) and 85 meters (278.87 feet) long. Collectively there are over 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) of continuous tunnel chambers (equivalent to 71 Boeing 747’s fuselages stretched end to end). All shelter areas are located behind 3 separate nuclear blast and radiation proof vehicle entrances, and a number of other passages for access by people only. Each of the three main tunnel entrances includes an outer security door system, followed by a 40 ton hydraulic truck access door with hardened steel rods which expand into the surrounding encasement, and a second set of massive steel doors providing an airtight seal shut, protecting against chemical, biological and gas intrusion. The underground main traffic corridors are large enough to allow mechanical transportation of heavy equipment to almost any point within the complex.

I'm not sure I'd like to be part of this and end up being one of a few survivors in a world probably controlled by savages where none of the conveniences we depend on work anymore; leaving me the only option of going back underground to my luxury cave.

Where will they house all the servants? Who will clean the billionaires toilets?

[rockrr]

The Morlocks never had it so good ;’}

[C19fan]

Isn’t the whole problem with these facilities, I have read about billionaires SHTF places in NZ, trying to get there when the SHTF.

“If they dig into Sheol, from there shall my hand take them; if they climb up to heaven, from there I will bring them down.”

— Amos 9:2, ESV

Not a good place to be if a chamber of liquid hot magma suddenly intrudes from the depths.

[Tijeras_Slim]

What is it with Germans and bunkers?

[lurk]

It’s a secret place published by Forbes on the net.

Wonder if it’s safe against earthquakes and demons.

[Salgak]

As any player of “Fallout” could tell you, if you had to go into the shelter, the world will be a VERY different place when you emerge. . .

[G Larry]

It’s like any defensive measure:

“Where will it be when I need it?”

In this case, you’ll fair warning in order to have time to get there.

“The hardened facility is capable of withstanding a substantial close range nuclear blast, a direct airplane crash, biological and chemical agents, shock waves, earthquakes, tsunami, electro-magnetic pulses, and virtually any armed attack.”

Wee li’l problemo:

“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”—Hebrews 4:13

That said, I totally understand the seductive appeal of a place like this and the lies I could tell myself if I was a VIP leader in the world. “This is actually for the good of the country...they need us alive, not dead”, etc.

Well, for starters, the spiral staircases are the wrong way for right-handed defenders.

[pabianice]

I’ve seen that movie. It ends badly.

Didn't glider-borne Fallschirmjaegers take down the Belgian version of this in 1940?

[factoryrat]

Some well placed munitions at ingress and egress points, along with ventilation and utility conduits, will turn their bunker into a mighty fine tomb.

[NonValueAdded]

Better hope someone updated the SIOP and took it off the target list. Whoops!

From The Chad Mitchell trio, back in the sixties:

Hammacher Schlemmer is selling a shelter
worthy of Kubla Kahn’s Xanadu dome
Plushy and swanky with posh hanky-panky
that affluent yankees can really call home

Hammacher Schlemmer is selling a shelter
a push-button palace, florescent repose
electric devices for facing a crisis
with frozen fruit ices and cinema shows

Hammacher Schlemmer is selling a shelter
of chromium kitchens and rubber tile dorms
with waterproof portals to echo the chortles
of weatherproof mortals in hydrogen storms

What a great come-to-glory emporium
To enjoy a deluxe moratorium
Where nuclear heat can beguile the elite
In a crème de la crème crematorium

[TexasGunLover]

Astounding how the “conservatives” on here are so bitterly jealous of those earning and providing jobs and growth for so many people.

[JOAT]

Revelation 6:15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”

[Old Yeller]

It’s a shame they aren’t concerned about storing treasures in Heaven, rather than clinging to this decaying world.
