Is super secret, but the story of a group of people trying to stay safe in an isolated shelter calls to mind a very real in American history when the threat was anything but vague. In the early 1960s, average citizens of all means scrambled to build shelters that might protect them from the most pressing fear of their Cold War age: nuclear war.
Fallout shelters were, at first, a fringe idea with limited mainstream support. It was acknowledged by the mid-1950s that blast shelters—structures that would protect a large number of people near ground zero of a nuclear attack—were pretty much pointless, but that it might be possible to protect citizens from fallout so that, after some period of , they might be able to emerge and rebuild in the area near the attack. Though some prominent figures (notably New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller) advocated for a national shelter-building program, both to save lives and on the idea that potential survival would deter the USSR from trying to wipe out the U.S. in one go, others didn’t trust the shelters to work or believed the run-and-hide mentality was un-American.

Built to protect the family from any huge storms that pass through, as well as any unforeseen events, the budget bunker is built out of a corrugated steel pipe. 10-feet round and 25-foot long, the bunker boasts a front door that's surrounded by three-foot thick breeze blocks, which help to protect it from any storms. The front door is a safe door that weighs 800 pounds and is reinforced to help in the event of a nuclear disaster.
Sitting 15 feet underground, the bunker boasts hardwood floors, a toilet and shower with full plumbing, a kitchen space and a double bedroom. With tiled worktops and wooden units, the kitchen and living space features three feet of underground storage for supplies, retro appliances, a heater and a TV and games corner to keep the family entertained in the event of a disaster.
The master bedroom is hidden behind a hand-carved screen. Decorated with an ocean-front mural to keep any long-term residents relaxed, it also boasts a fan with a charcoal filter to get rid of any contaminants in the air. Overall the project cost around $18, 000 (£13k) and is sure to keep the family safe should disaster strike.
