    As was said by Agent Smith in The Matrix, the human race is a virus.

    It's actually quite true. We infest a host (Earth) and slowly destroy it from inside and then when our host dies, we die (unless we can find a new host).

    I'd say that's pretty accurate.

    Good one. Though I guess we could always be at a worse point......

    I'm sure it's just gone over my head but why a 5 year bomb shelter?:confused:

    Based on some calculations of how long a nuclear winter (and the subsequent nuclear summer) might last five years could be over optimistic.

    Nuclear bomb example Tsar Bomba 100MT Airbrust Donated in 4 location throughout Ireland. Would still leave 30% of the county blast and radiation free.

    Tsar Bomba was 58 MT not 100MT.

    The original design was 100MT until it was realised the fireball would consume the plane dropping the bomb !

    Even then its use was regarded as mere cold war sabre rattling and too impractically large to deliver and use in an actual war situation.

    During the final years of the cold war (and since) the trend has been towards smaller yield (albeit still far larger than Hiroshima) more accurately targeted rather than the multiple megaton weapons of the 1960's.

    How do you know Ireland wouldn't get attacked? attacked by whom exactly also?? If it was an Islamic world vs western world war then Ireland could easily be attacked..dublin is a west european capital with a population of well over a million could definitely be targeted!

    Everybody loves the Irish. If anybody did invade I'm sure we'd win them over with our hospitality.

    You could get much larger ones if you had the money. I seen a documentary about survival shelters apparently a lot of very rich people have them which lead to the question do they know something we don't know. The owners of Walmart have a massive underground compound in Utah (I think) it was the kind of shelter you would never need to resurface from. They have billions so they could afford a lot.

    Check out survivalcondo.com looks cool. How would you pick the people you wanted to live with too?
