Most of the world's population has been wiped from the map a wayward meteorites or hail nuclear missiles, the survival of mankind may simply rely on thousands of people crowded into the depths of recreational vehicles in eastern Kansas intestines of mining area.
This is California man who is to create what he calls the world's largest private survivors of the underground shelter, use a complex limestone cave, rolling mountains, overlooking the Missouri river dug under the field of vision, more than 100 years ago.
"I believe my mission, to become a spiritual thing, said:" Robert vicino, has bought a lot of former U.S. army storage facilities acheson southeast edges, about 50 miles to the northwest of Kansas city, Missouri, "part of our is bound to happen."
Before it comes to time for the end of the world or a deadly global pandemic, though housing vicino says life survival and resorts will be an interesting place, have a holiday for the members, learning various skills, make them ready for any change in the world the reckoning.
Acheson chamber of commerce, said Jacques Pregont, some people think the housing plan sounds creepy or Vicino has "lost his head," while others are very excited, because they will finally have the opportunity to visit the property.
Acheson amelia earhart's birthplace, in Kansas, one of the most haunted cities known as Pregont said, such a survival shelter may be added to the town's tourist draw.
"This is strange, odd high-profile," she said.
Recent Hollywood films do a big business, the exploration of human subject, either through climate change, meteor strikes or zombie invasion. National geographic channel's show, "Preppers end," the document to prepare americans who is the end of the world, carefully asylum and a large number of freeze-dried food rations.
Paul seyfried, belong to a group, the promotion of man-made or natural disasters, said that americans have become complacent, since then, urging people to build nuclear dust in the basement at the end of the next President John f. Kennedy's death.
Seyfried, advisory committee members of the American society of civil defense, said: "there have been over 100 years, so the horrors of war is not stamped with an indelible in the eyes of the americans," no war on our soil.
Ken roth, a professor of history at in California state university, chico, campus, vocal critic is underground shelters. Although he admits that's increasing interest in underground shelters, his so-called projects, such as Kansas factory "of the huge waste of time and money."
"There are some people who was obsessed with the idea," he said. "... did not reduce the terrorist threat here today, the threat of people at the height of the cold war. At least that anxiety is based on a realistic scenario."
Kansas is 100 feet to 150 feet and the surface of the cave there is a constant natural low temperature in the 70 s. Vicino says, they support 6 times stronger, than the thick concrete limestone column, will have a blast door to withstand a distance of ten miles a megaton bomb.
In addition to more than one and a half miles of the chain link fence surrounded by 6 feet high with sharp barbed wire line, no difference on the land on the ground, from the vastness of the hills and trees surround it. Suggest housing portal - neither fish nor fowl of specific discharge terminal to the wooded hillside rolled up discrete - is there a comprehensive military attack on any potential intruders, easy to keep difficult to attack, vicino says.
Army use caves - limestone mining business, in the late 1880 s began to set up - for decades as a storage device, and then put them in auction last year. Bid of $1.7 million in December, but financing fell through the website again for sale.
Investors in springfield, Missouri, kobe Bryant, card linse submitted his award: the property of the $510000 bid in early April, he immediately began looking for ways to use it. He is one of the idea of land leased to a company, build shelter to survive.
Vicino, the company is headquartered in del mar, California, said that he received an email from Lin Sifei to Kansas city two days later check out property. Vicino agreed to buy 75% of the composite, rather than the rental, and retained the rest CARDS linse and promote local enterprises.
The complex includes two completely lit, temperature control, concrete floor. Collins has east cave, inside the card, including about 15 mu, include office, vault, working space of the bathroom and other developed countries. Much more western cave, covers an area of about 45 acres, mainly is undeveloped, will be transformed into living facilities.
More than 1000 rv and the housing of up to about 5000 people will have enough space. Lawmakers will charge each lineal feet, RV 1000 yuan to buy their space, plus 1500 yuan per person. This means that a person who plans a 30 feet of the vehicles parked in four blind will pay $30000 to 6000 yuan of space and food.
Actual sales will not be reserved until a "critical mass" began receiving and processing, vicino says, this has not happened in Kansas city housing.
Before also has in indiana room can accommodate 80 people comfortably year-long refuge. There, members pay a $50000 cut $35000 and the children, so a family with two adults and two children will have to take out $170000 part of the generation after the end of the world.
The buyer will have to pay all the balance before the takeover of their housing space, though the company already provides limited funds, in the past quite a large down payment.
Vicino says he won't say where is the specific, or any of his small facilities located in indiana housing, because he is worried that there will be a change the world of the disaster events of anarchy.
It doesn't matter to knock at the door "moment of truth," vicino says, they probably will not enter.
