No one wants to die and Americans have already begun to plan for such an eventuality and are keeping ready suitable places where they can hide – at least for a certain length of time. One option could be a survival bunker, deep underground in a converted nuclear missile silo in the middle of America.
People have already descended upon this lucrative new emerging market and doomsday entrepreneur Larry Hall has spent years building the ultimate in survival hideaways. He sells to up-market 'preppers' – this is a relatively new set of Americans who are preparing for imminent catastrophe. They are those who believe that the world could soon end through natural disasters, terrorist attacks or economic collapse, and they do not have faith that their government will protect them when society falls apart.
Anyway, what Larry has built is worth a look – he has installed his 'survival condos' in converted nuclear missile silos that are constructed in the cold war in the Kansas countryside. They are 200 feet deep with walls of reinforced concrete that are nine feet thick.
Each apartment has eight floors of luxury apartments, each storey offers 1,800 square feet of luxury living space for up to 10 people, complete with jacuzzi baths and designer kitchens. An estimated 70 people could live for more than five years in the complex that is supplied with its own electricity, water and stored food.
It seems one silo is sold out and Larry has begun work on another – he caters to those who have thought about the future and are not happy with what could be in store for them. The price tag for this nuclear-hardened, luxury underground living could be all yours for $3.1m per floor.
