50-year-old abandoned Florida bomb shelter still as good as new (20 Photos)

March 28, 2012 | In: Creepy, Interesting

Follow Bob on Tapiture

: Built in the 1960s around the Cuban Missile Crisis, this bomb shelter comes equipped with everything you could possibly need to survive…for at least a day or two. It has a radiation suit, canned drinking water, a first aid kit, a respirator, ear plugs (for any unpleasantness the nuclear blast might cause), a toothbrush, etc. But the most pressing question is is it zombie-proof? I’ll leave that for you to decide.

Where's all the porn? My idea of a shelter must be very different then everyone elses.

Seriously. Way to play it fast and loose with the term "good as new."

It's just a dugout that my dad built. In case the reds decide to push the button down.

I don't need to read any more comments; this one wins.

Is the experiment for this one how long you can survive without getting Tetanus?

_maxPain_

how true,I feel the need of a tetanus shot just by looking at it !

I'd prefer the Dharma Initiative shelters

Yeah, why is it called good as new?

Does it come with the massive tetanus shot you'd need?

you'll be fine, it comes with #12

FYI Tetanus doesn't come from rust, it's a bacteria found in the soil. It just so happens that rusty nails are mostly found on the ground and usually dirty.

Could do with some paint. Also, looks like a stormtrooper died here. #13

I imagine this is what paula's house looks like. maybe this is a little cleaner.

The sick fucks behind The Human Centipede will have to come up with another sequel now they have the set boxed off.
yeaRight

I see eBay goodies.

If the thing isn't water/rust proof, how the devil is is bomb proof…

Unless the damn thing has a 3 foot thick blast door your screwed

Si1entStatic

why? i doubt someone is going to precision target a 3×5 steel door in a rural back yard from a satellite. It just needs to keep the Chernobyl freaks from getting in………

lonin

Did they fill it with water for the last 40 years?

passwordistaco

The water table in Florida is all of 3 feet down in most places, I'm surprised it lasted as long as it has. It has most likely been submerged and fighting back water since it was built.

mitch

sick of zombie talk
I don't think so

definitely not good as new … title fail …

that_ALBANIAN_guy

That's the joke
Lisa

Comprehension fail
kirah

sarcasm is a foreign word to you huh?
Ugh

Please don't reproduce.

It just needs a sign saying “FREE CANDY” and an air mattress, and its perfect.

So, in other words, you can’t just build ‘em and forget ‘em…DUH! What a waste. A bit of annual attention…clean it up, paint it, replace supplies occasionally…and it would still be ok. Now, they’re just gonna have to worry about the ceiling collapsing and making a big hole in the yard.
