One reply on “An Inside Look At Doomsday Bunker Homes”
What do you think of these luxurious doomsday bunker homes?
I guess I have mixed feelings about these bunkers. On one hand I feel some kind of envy, because I know if there was a doomsday I probably wouldn’t be in one of those bunkers. On the other hand I’m thinking about a maintenance of these bunkers and if they’re resilient enough to resist sabotage in their key infrastructures. People usually go mad in such circumstances.
Do you believe in the Apocalypse? How do you feel about it? How would you prepare for it?
I think that it’s only a matter of time that Apocalypse is going to happen, maybe tomorrow or in a couple of centuries. The good thing is that, thanks to all TV shows and movies about disasters, I guess we could be mentally prepared if it happens. Regarding on preparation for the Apocalypse, I would say that oneself should prepare before the event, not during it. The better you’ve prepared, the more chances you would have to survive.
If you were one of the elites, would you purchase your own doomsday bunker? How would you want it to be?
If I had the chance, surely I would like to have a bunker in a remote and sparsely populated area, like an island or near the polar ice caps. It would be a simple and efficient bunker, like the russian ones. Luxury is great to have but it’s usually bound to complex maintenance and knowledge that I don’t have(by now).
