Five years without having to go outside: this is the bunker before a possible apocalypse

There is a complex of luxurious inverted apartments that are ready for the arrival of a wide range of global disasters. Larry Hall, an ex-government American contractor, is responsible for having built it.

Hall's objective is to create "bunkers" with comforts against possible terrorist attacks, wars or natural and social disasters. The first complex that began to be developed is being worked on in Kansas since 2010 with an initial cost of 20 million dollars.

After the pandemic, interest in Hall's architectural creation expanded to Asia and Europe, two continents that will have their VIP bunkers. There is no doubt that his underground empire will not be left alone in the United States.

According to 'The Sun', Larry's original "Survival" condominium has a total area of ​​more than 5,000 square meters. It comes with enough food and water for its seventy-five residents to survive for more than five years.

Of course, those who live there can also bring their food.

"If the residents want to bring their own food they can do that too; there are walk-in coolers so, for example, if we're going to be cooped up for seven years then we can bring seven turkeys to store for Thanksgiving," Hall explained. to the British medium.

The curious thing about "Survival" is that it can withstand a 20 kiloton nuclear warhead (about the size of the Nagasaki bomb) exploding less than a kilometer away. It is made of a special cement that can bend without breaking after a nuclear shock wave.

It is a fourteen-story complex built seventy meters underground. The departments are also fourteen.

Each of the "silos" comes equipped with a 75-meter pool, spa, luxury sauna, movie theater, multipurpose room, gym, rock-climbing wall, golf and shooting range, dog park, supermarket, medical center, classroom, aquaponics laboratory and virtual windows to combat confinement, among other amenities.

At this time, none of its residents live in their condominiums full time, although during the pandemic they were locked up there for several weeks and even a month.

Pricing for a 84-square-meter hotel room-style suite starts at $500,000. The largest penthouses at $4.5 million. They're all busy.

His idea grew out of the 9/11 attacks, Hall said: "The goal is to protect residents from a wide range of threats that could end the world, from nuclear war to a pandemic to a meteorite impact and civil unrest. These are luxury bunkers reinforced with nuclear technology that are designed to protect any resident both physically and mentally."
