You tell me…

Alien spacecraft? No.

Proposed design for Mars lander? Nope.

New ride at Walt Disney World? Sorry. Thanks for playing.

It’s a bunker, folks. That’s right, 74 square feet of safety from…well, whatever you’re scared of:

The Bunker is an aerodynamic, monolithic reinforced concrete structure capable of withstanding monster hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, blizzards, military and terrorist attacks and extreme water pressure for underwater applications.

Available in above ground, underground, and underwater models.

    From their web site:

    “Since the time of the maginot line in Europe, the word bunker has been synonymous with an indestructible, fixed structure built into the ground…”

    Comparing their bunkers to the Maginot line is unfortunate, and probably also accurate. Hitler had no problem overrunning France by going around the Maginot line.

    Maybe a bunker would be good hurricane protection, but would you actually want to be encased in a bunker during a civil insurrection? All the bad guys would have to do would be to wait until you eventually ran out of food and water.

    My problem with it is merely aesthetic. It’s too truncated pyramidy. I’d like it better if it were more archy.

    This is cool, but I’d difinitely want the below-ground version. Above ground this would definitely freak the neighbors.
