Video: Apocalypse-Fearing Folk Can Seek Shelter in Futuristic $10 Million Doomsday Bunker

So its airtight almost has a life support system, almost looks like it would make a decent prototype for an early mars colony hab.

@animemaster Good point. Maybe they should be applying for those NASA SBIR grants.

@Jeremy Hsu: maybe thats who is funding them in the first place.

I much preferred the Art Deco aesthetic of Vault-Tec to that of this Vivos upstart

I emailed them to let them know how I feel about there project and this is the response i received.

"Thank you for your interest in Vivos. Due to the tremendous interest in the Vivos shelter network, we are unable to respond to every email. However, every message is reviewed and when appropriate, or necessary, we will directly respond to you."

"their" project, sheesh, sorry

I wonder if they supply you with a Pipboy 3000?

Just remember, it's Vault-Tec secure!

Waltz - it is simply shocking that they didn't want to know how [you] "feel about there project". Clearly your, as most of the above opinions provide a great deal of enlightenment to the subject that you obviously know nothing about!

I bet you will be the first one to be banging on the Vivos door with the crap hits the fan!

So... we have water chips AND vaults now? Better speed up the construction of my starship...

Ah, so now they have emailed me a quote

"Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.

-Mohandas Gandhi"

I'm guessing they disagree with my assessment.

@batteryoperated, of course I will. I haven't the money to invest, buy, or anything with their project. I'll be crashing, but I'll at least bring a keg, maybe even two!

Funny....

Looks like a lot of wasted space. Plants in a little lobby area in the hall and seating areas with huge chairs.

Except the living quarters where there are bunk beds. This place sucks. Where's the bar?

Who designed this thing?

Oh for ****s sake!

It's just the long count of the mayan calendar rolling over; they didn't even predict that anything of particular importance would happen that date. Even if they had made such a prediction it would just have been a bunch of tosh fabricated out of whole cloth by people so primitive they figured the length of a year to be 360 days.

Wow, that is a nice looking bunker dude, WOw.

My question is this: if the world comes to an end and society as we know it gets wiped out of existance, How will they make sure that you keep up the monthly payments on your bunker?

The fact of the matter is, sure, its pretty cool, but the most a bunker will do is prolong the inevitable. If a meteor hits the earth, big enough to impact the entire planet, all life on the surface is going to die. A plume of ash will envelope the surface for months or years (depending on the size of the meteor). The ash will block any sunlight hitting the earth, killing all plants. Obviously plants are the first step in the food chain, and it will just work its way to the herbivores, omnivores and carnivores. So lets just say the system keeps you alive for a year (food supply last ~1 year, supposedly). Once you get back on the surface, theres going to be nothing to eat. No food = starvation.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather die quick by an awesome flaming ball of meteor igniting the surface of the earth, than slowly due to starvation.

Sometimes you just have to take life as it is. Maybe there's more meaning behind death than that which lay on the surface. Maybe we're meant to die. Besides, if I had enough money to buy/fund one of these bunkers, i'd rather go out and spend it on fast cars, expensive hookers and fine alcoholic beverges. Heres a suggestion, live well while you can, because living in a cramped, stuffy bunker isn't living at all.

Oh, geez, scifiguy!

Obviously, their Accounts Receivable Department is in one of those shelters.

Anyone should be able to figure that one out...

@ Segerson

Well, yeah we're meant to die, but some of us must survive long enough to reproduce and ensure the species as a whole survives. As far as surviving a meteor impact goes, IMHO, the answer is NOT a bunker, as I agree with you that starvation would set in. Picture a space station with greenhouses and water recycling devices that won't have the problem of years of darkness. That is your insurance policy.

''...remember, in Vault 101, no one ever enters, and no one ever leaves''
Hahaha! This is ridiculous! Really makes me remember Vault-Tec! Then I bet all this is a huge sociological experiment!

I agree with Segerson! A simple bunker is ridiculous! No animals, no plant, no repopulation plan?
And, in the first place, 2012 is just another Doomsday fanatic thing amplified by internet and the medias! Apocalypse sell well!

Stupidity has no limit...

Agreed...the stupidity of these comments. Does anyone out there have a better solution, or are you going to sit there with you keyboards and fingers up your butt while the shit hits the fan? For SciFi enthusiasts you show a great lack of understanding of the probability for such catastrophes and what you can do to protect yourself and your family. Or, are you going to get your gun and bag of rice and and survive.

Ooops, I forgot...the world would be better off without you! Vivos is very cool...great plan!!!

sure sounds a lot like Fallout 3 to me haha.

Clear people did not take note of the fact that it is a shelter built for 4,000 that will last a year. You can also look at it as a shelter accommodating 4 person for 1,000 years. By which time, the earth would have recovered and your family can surface to repopulated the world. Bill Gate and others like him can afford several.

as soon doomsday comes people will fight over this underground bunker this place will not last for long.

The world won't end in 2012!

Dear Mr & Mrs Gomez:

Congratulations on your family's recent inclusion in the Vault 101 community!

You will find outlined in your application materials a full review of rules and procedures related to preparing for shelter in a Vault-Tec facility, but we will outline a few key points here:

Vault-Tec provides all clothing, bedding, and accommodations for residents. Personal belongings must be reviewed and approved of by an authorized Vault-Tec hermetics technician before such belongings can be delivered to your reserved quarters within the Vault. In the event of an emergency entrance to the Vault, no personal belongings will be permitted beyond the main door of the facility.
All Vault residents must attend an orientation seminar. If you did not attend such a seminar as part of the application process, you must make an appointment with your Vault-Tec representative.
In the event of a Vault activation, whether actual or drill, Vault-Tec will sound a siren audible in the immediate vicinity of the Vault facility entrance, and residents will be contacted via holotape message at the phone number provided in their resident profile records. Please report promptly to Vault 101 to await admittance and processing upon such a notification.

Vault-Tec looks forward to having you and your family as valued residents! Be sure to present this letter to your Vault-Tec representative to receive your special, commemorative Vault Boy bobble-head toy! Sincerely;

Vault-Tec
Dept of Public Relations
Washington, DC

Let me share this before I go if you had to communicate with someone 1,000 years ago with only notes. How would you do it?
Chances are someone from that era doesn’t speak your dialect and this is because about every 200 years or less slang and other forms of talking change. so apparently you are left with one form to communicate pictography. so you might draw a bird a plane and some lines to represent numbers but if the person looks at it and says what the #@%% is this person crazy or super stupid you might understand how the Egyptians or Mayans or many more feel when trying to communicate to us.

what does this mean well these cultures and many more have all gone to enormous lengths to communicate a grave Idea and it is 2012, also it’s in pyramids temples caves and more. well why so important, better question here, we are a little more than a year from the 12,21,2012 date and why are the poles changing what’s going on with the climate, why is all the world in such a disaster and now tsunamis earthquakes ect.

well maybe just maybe these old cultures were smarter then we give credit maybe they were smarter than us at one time(Atlantis) and destroyed for arrogance that thinking nothing will happen their technologies will save them and people who lived 10,000 years before them just smoked way too many drugs or something and didn’t have their resources
just think now we are having solar storms and solar flares and some E.M.P. emissions form the sun and they are getting bigger and bigger son we will see thousands of computers and phones affected by the upcoming e.m.p. blast from the sun. but on the other hand maybe these cultures just want to warn us in the form they hope we will understand with pictures and dates. Lastly is it just coincidence that these cultures all were thousands and thousands of miles apart, or were they really better equipped with technology than us in order to go and distribute the knowledge to others.

And yes I do accept the Anunnaki as a theory

Just something to think about.
