Underground Bunker Design Sales
Doomsday Bunker Revenue Soar As Mayan Apocalypse Draws Near
The explosion you year in the doomsday bunker industry is business booming. Rather than the nuclear Armageddon scare of the 1950s, the doomsday bunker craze is being fueled by fears of economic collapse and the Mayan calendar. The doomsday bunkers of yesterday are a far cry from the post-apocalyptic luxury fortresses being built today.

More individuals getting doomsday bunkers
Doomsday bunker product sales have had a huge increase lately after all the financial meltdowns, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis , Middle East wars and a nuclear disaster. Doomsday bunker companies have been watching income rise as the calendar draws near December 21, 2012 — the day the Mayan calendar ends. Sales went even crazier after the Middle East uprising, the tsunami and nuclear disaster and the Japan earthquake. CNN reports that Northwest Shelter Systems, which markets doomsday bunkers that go for anywhere from $200,000 to $20 million, has liked a 70 percent increase in sales. UndergroundBombShelter.com, a source for portable fallout shelters, bomb shelters and underground bunkers, has fielded a 400 percent increase in inquiries since the Japan earthquake. There is one item costing $9,500 that everybody wants. It’s a biological chemical shelter tent.
Living in apocalyptic luxury
When it comes to doomsday underground bunkers, Nebraska has every person beat. There’s a huge underground project going on. There are five 200 person doomsday bunkers that people can sign up for “co-ownership” of paying $25,000 each to Vivos. The week after the Japan earthquake and nuclear disaster, the reservations, which needs a $5,000 fee, went up 1,000 percent for the business. Vivos’ doomsday bunker under construction in Nebraska is bigger than a Walmart at 137,000 square feet. There can be room for 950 people to live in luxury while withstanding a 50 megaton nuclear blast. It will offer suites on four amounts, plus a medical and dental center, kitchens, a fully-stocked wine cellar, pool tables, computer room, pet kennels and a jail. The security will keep everything out while there’s a tower 350 feet high that will show a view of the landscape.
Mayan calendar causing lots of worry
Vivos promotes its doomsday bunkers with a dramatic video about the end of the world as forecast by the Mayan Calendar. The company’s website features a countdown with the days, hours, minutes and seconds to Dec. 21, 2012. It might not actually be doomsday though. A textbook released last fall titled “Calendars and Years II: Astronomy and Time in the Ancient and Medieval World” (Oxbow Books, 2010), states the conversion of dates from the Mayan calendar to the modern Gregorian calendar may be off by 50 to 100 years. Vivos site didn’t make it clear if the $5,000 could be refunded. Hopefully it can. youtube.com/watch?v=vDbzUoY-hRE
