For the very first time, a modern day Noahs Ark has opened its doors for an exclusive inside look offering up plans for the ultimate Billionaire bunker and doomsday escape.
Vivos founder and CEO Robert Vicino announced Vivos Europa One which will be an invitation only, five star, underground survival complex, similar to an underground cruise ship for the elite. Each family will be provided a private 2,500 square foot of floor area, capable of two story improvements for a total of 5,000 square feet of private living quarters. With fit and finish comparable to a mega-yacht, each member family will hire their own architect and contractor to build out their living quarters to the custom standard they desire.
The expansive shelter is located in Germany and is one of the most fortified and massive underground survival shelters on Earth. Originally built by the Soviets during the Cold War, this shelter was a fortress for military equipment and munitions. After the DDR was merged with Germany, the German government inherited this relic and intended to use it for the same purpose of weapons storage. However, due to a law prohibiting the storage of ammunition near a major highway, the German Government soon realized they could not continue with their plans and decided to auction this 76 acre complex. A wealthy investor purchased the entire property, along with all of its improvements, both above and below ground. Vicino says We are proud to bring this epic project forward in these increasingly dangerous times.
The hardened facility is capable of withstanding a substantial close range nuclear blast, a direct airplane crash, biological and chemical agents, shock waves, earthquakes, tsunami, electro-magnetic pulses, and virtually any armed attack.

Also from the link:
What do you think the "barracks for 100" will be used for? Workers to repair the trains and do maintenance. You don't think that the Billionaires are going to do the work, do you? If you haven't followed the link, it's worth your time to do so. It's a really interesting article and, if I do say so myself, sounds like a pretty amazing place. It tells you the history of it and how it became to be privately owned. It's like looking into another world...
Peace,

(14,912 posts)of the people in the "barracks for 100" will already have children.... or they could be procreating for the sake of having future workers. I'm sure that if they are building a place for continuance of the human race, procreation is going to be in the works somewhere. I don't think that the offspring of the Billionaires are going to be taking jobs, but they certainly could be coupling up for procreation, too.
Peace,

(29,414 posts)basically just rocket-propelled and guided drilling pipe? That stuff's pretty tough. So, if you can guide a big rock from somewhere nearby in space, why not drop a truckload of drilling pipe from low-Earth orbit instead

(10,175 posts)as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand? (Revelation 6:13-17)
This fortress will prove to be a project of futility.
