Luxury 'Doomsday Condo' Created From Converted Missile Silo Can Protect Against Nuclear War And Other World Disasters
This is a secret underground 'doomsday bunker' that can protect against nuclear war and other world disasters. Tucked away at a secret location north of Wichita, Kansas, the Survival Condo was created by ex-government contractor Larry Hall who converted an old missile silo into a state-of-the-art 201-feet deep, 15-story, completely self-sufficient underground metropolis. The condo is capable of sheltering up to 75 people for at least five years. Previously, the unit served as a missile silo for the US government during the Cold War. The silo itself is designed to withstand a 20 kiloton nuclear warhead detonated within half a mile. Hall installed special flexible, nine-feet thick concrete walls that can bend several inches without breaking under the strain of a 2000-mile-an-hour shockwave in the event of a thermonuclear attack. The Survival Condo contains 14 separate living quarters ranging from 900 square-foot hotel room-style suites priced at $500,000 up to multi-level 3,600 square-foot penthouses for $4.5 million - all of which have been purchased. Each unit comes equipped with a modern kitchen and bathroom as well as "virtual windows" - a wall screen projection that provides a video-relayed view of the outside world. Outside of their luxe living quarters, inhabitants of the bunker are also not in short supply in the way of things to do in terms of recreation. Spread out across the silo's 15 floors is a 75-meter swimming pool, full luxury spa and sauna, a movie theater, lounge exercise facility, rock climbing wall, golf range, indoor shooting range, and even a dog park. There is also a fully-equipped classroom, a large Whole Foods-inspired supermarket, a medical center and an aquaponics lab where vault dwellers can grow their own fruits and vegetables. According to Hall, the silo is already stockpiled with enough food and water to last for more than five years. Survival Condo is also home to a reverse osmosis machine that is capable of producing up to 10,000 gallons of fresh water each day.
