Among the American rich, including investors in Silicon valley, spreading the fashion for the purchase of bunkers for a “rainy day”. And amid the panic caused by the epidemic of the coronavirus, the demand for underground fortifications – not some ascetic, but with all the amenities – directly jumped. According to The Sun, some tycoons who can afford it, is not satisfied with the cover at home and strive to get far away, for example – in the quiet New Zealand. With one of these billionaires had a curiosity: at the last moment he managed to break through the new Zealand border until it was closed, however, when they reached the exit door, suddenly realized that… I forgot the access code.
When billionaire realized the unenviable prospect of sleeping on the street in a foreign country, but still under the walls of the property, for which he laid out millions of dollars, he had contact with the Texas office of the enterprise who created the object and “soft” to him. “He wanted to recover the combination, but at the same time asked many of the associated issues – such as whether to stock up on extra water or air filters,” – said the representative of the company not to disclose the name of the hapless customer in accordance with the terms of the contract.
Meanwhile, the media managed to learn that in New Zealand already moved, for example, one of the founders of PayPal Peter Thiel. He bought in the island nation mansion for 4.7 million dollars, which includes a “panic room” to meet the end of the world. However, this industry is developing on the territory of the United States. Under the bunkers are often converted missile silos and other abandoned military sites. Many turn into true underground towns with pools, hospitals, cinemas and even gardens for walks. One of these underground cities arose in South Dakota on the site of a military base that has not been used since 1942, writes The Sun. It brings together 575 separate bins that can accommodate up to 5,000 guests. Housing prices there ranges from 20 to 160 thousand dollars.
