    It's amazing to think that, those people who may cause a nuclear war, will survive it.
  • Reporter saying “we” like she’s invited. You’re dying with the rest of us sweetie 💅🏼
  • There are TWO huge flaws to this: 1. it is silly to think that the security guys aren't going to , at gunpoint, kick out the residents to put their own family and friends in there 2. when the food runs out, it will get very very ugly.

    This is gonna be one of those vaults where you only find skeleton and audio-logs of people that went crazy.

    "This place is so top-secret, I can't even tell you where it is" Looks up Kansas Survival Condo and immediately finds it.
  • @wynnyekey5316
    What strikes me the greatest in these videos is that none of the people buying these luxury places have Anything to offer in the post-apocalyptic world they're hiding from.
  • @Borntu
    Let's play "how long can you survive in a submarine full of sociopaths"!

    First rule of doomsday prep, don’t tell everyone about your doomsday prep
  • @CommanderTexas
    The major danger isn't from the outside it's from within. People locked up in a limited area with limited resources in a survival situation isn't going to end peacefully.
  • @thebluetarp
    The amount of spare parts and things needed to fix stuff boggles the brain. Filters, screws, charge ports, fridge parts, fuses, batteries, ugh! Gives me anxiety just thinking about it
  • @tipsygypsy711
    I'd rather die than live in a bunker pretending all is well.
  • @talom7144
    This guys a genius. He’s got people paying millions for a room. If the disaster actually occurs it’s highly unlikely that people could even reach this bunker in time and he knows this. In reality he’s kept it there for family and close friends and in the mean time he’s making millions and living nice.
  • @fall190
    Its comforting to know that if the worst happens the super rich will still be living in luxury
  • @Matt_R-A
    This begs the question, how do the people who would take up residence in this facility know when they need to retreat to said facility? Do the Rich have their own early warning system?
  • These bunkers wouldn’t be needed if we stopped wars. It is unbelievable we have to develop this instead of restoring our planet.
  • @Darkness251
    Imagine 75 Millionaires coming out of the bunker 4 years after the apocalypse and nobody knows how to grow crops
  • @Lilmiket1000
    I just wanna say the Titanic was engineered to withstand sailing the oceans without sinking lmao.
  • I seriously loved this series! Thank you for making these stories so relatable and understandable! As a science geek (I've been trying to figure out a 100% renewable farming system, so that was awesome to see) I'm hopeful we can face the challenges ahead, but it takes knowledge of the potential issues for people to take it seriously.

    The problem I see with these nuclear silo bunkers is that they are all in locations that are primary targets during a nuclear exchange by their nature. Sure, you'll survive the blast, but you're guaranteed to be stuck in there due to fallout from the nukes being dropped on nearby active silos
