When I was growing up in the 60’s in the central valley of California, there were a couple of families on my block that had a bomb shelter. They were dark, a little creepy but boy, did they make great places to play in. I have often wondered what happened to them. Well, as they said in Poltergeist II, “they’re back!”
In the California Mojave Desert, a real estate entrepreneur is counting on the end of the world as we know it. He’s planning to build a string of luxury disaster shelters, with the first set to open near Barstow, California (think middle of no where) sometime this year. Individuals who are buying into this concept think it’s their best hope in the event of a massive natural disaster, terrorist attack or worse.
Excerpt from the Vivos Website – “People around the world are sensing that a global life-changing event is just ahead. Vivos is the life assurance solution for you and your family to survive the next devastating catastrophe that either nature or mankind may create. Our nuclear blast-proof shelters will provide you with up to one-year of autonomous underground survival, and a secure base to restart thereafter. Join our community of members with a boarding pass for space in a Vivos turnkey shelter.”http://www.terravivos.com/
With the end of the world apparently scheduled for December 21, 2012, there’s sure to be a number of companies looking to cash in on the upcoming apocalypse. This is definitely a case of “buyer beware,” so before your plunk down your cash, check it out carefully! Perhaps you should rent the wonderful animated film by Pixar called Wall-E before going any further!
