Finally, a Home Where You Can Enjoy the Post-Apocalypse



Under the Kansas soil is a livable hardened bunker, so when the above ground world is suffering through cataclysm, you’ll be living it up. Riding out the apocalypse in style is what this entrepreneur based in Denver, Colorado is offering. It would include wealthy but jittery buyers an awesome chance to make an old abandoned missile silo their new home sweet home. A former software engineer named Larry Hall bought his 174 foot deep hole in the ground for $300,000 in 2008 from the government. Which by 2013 he plans to convert it to calamity proof condos. During the Cold War, our country built 72 silos to deter in case of a Soviet attack. The silo’s walls are up to nine feet thick made of concrete. As Hall states It’s a place to enjoy “the coolness of a missile base, the protection of a nuclear-hardened bunker, and the features of a luxury condo.” The silo cap is the only thing visible above the ground which is made of concrete made with blast proof windows. The silo will store vegetables grown in soil free trays and fish farmed in tanks, which would be cultivated at a former launch control site nearby. It could store food for 70 people indefinitely.
