Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the Internet!
I am your host, Rebecca Felgate, and today we are preparing for doomsday as we discuss
the Top 10 Secret Buildings Made For The Apocalypse
10 - The Cheyenne Mountain Complex
This defensive bunker is used for military purposes and protection and is located in
Colorado Springs.
The bunker is protected by 2,500 ft of Granite and is home to a mole-city!
Road signs warn against trespassing, so your average USA citizen would never know this
impressive bunker is in their own backyard.
Inside, the bunker is stocked with essential sleeping kits, ready to eat meals, medical
supplies and six huge generators.
One of the challenges facing those invited to take refuge within the highly secretive
in mountain complex would be learning to live without any sky while the apocalypse raged
on, as you certainly wouldn’t see any in the inner belly of the rock!
9 - The Greenbrier Bunker Not so secret now, but still apocalypse ready,
the Greenbrier Bunker was built underneath a luxury hotel in West Virginia.
Above ground, the complex sprawls over 11 thousand acres, with 20 onsite restaurants
and vast gardens, although that is just the tip of the iceberg.
Below ground, there is a whole underground bunker commissioned by the US Government in
the 1950s.
The Bunker was created as a secret apocalypse location for Congress in the event of Nuclear
War.
These days, people have been allowed access to see the bunker, and is no longer in use
by the Government.
If is what they had 60 years ago, imagine what state of the art secret bunker they have
today!
Sometimes sneaky little cheeky bunkers are hidden in plain sight, like this Swiss getaway
at number 8
I actually cant think of a better place to try and survive the apocalypse than the Swiss
Alps.
This house is built into a hill and has a specialized interior that makes it apocalypse
ready!
Apparently access inside the hose comes via an underground tunnel that connects to an
innocuous looking barn.
I love the street view of this house….its like…normal house, normal house, normal
house…oh, apocalypse bunker!
I bet the owners are popular with the neighbours because, you know, just in case!
Ever wonder how the other half live?
Check out this super exclusive secret bunker for billionaires at number 7
This 5 star luxury apocalypse bunker is hidden away in the German Village of Rothenstein
and houses amenities such as pools, cinemas, restaurants, theatres, luxury apartments and
indoor gardens.
A video of the bunker uploaded to the Bunker’s Youtube Channel calls it “an elite shelter
for the privileged few” and claims it is the largest private shelter in the world at
5 kilometres in length.
Prices aren’t advertised, you have to enquire, but news publication the Daily Mail estimates
they are worth more than a billion dollars…so…surviving the Apocolypse is pretty pricey!
You’ve seen one secret billionaire bunker, you have seen them all, right?
Well….. you are about to see another…only this one has a wine cellar at number 6
The Oppidum is a private apocalypse shelter that sits amid the Czech countryside.
While not visible from ground level, from the air, it is clear that the sprawling 323
square foot property is pretty special!
Carved into the mountain, the bunker has above ground residence where people can live if
they’re anticipating danger, and a below ground town to keep them safe if the zombies
or nuclear winter ever come.
Below ground, residents don’t need to suffer in squalid conditions, oh no!
They have simulated light gardens, libraries, pools, spas, doctors surgeries, conference
centres and of course, the vast wine cellar…which would be where you could find me!
Far less assuming than the billionaire bunkers, we have a secret Bunker in Brentwood, Great
Britain – that is coming in to number 5
From the outside, this looks like a normal 1950s house.
Nothing to see here, but oh wait!
Kelvedon House was used by the government during the cold war, but from the outside,
it looks like any other building.
Inside, though, there is a 125 foot tunnel leading to an underground entrance of a vast
network of control rooms, that would allow for opporations and communications to continue
throughout an apocalyptic situation!
There is also a horrifying mannequin of Margaret thatcher in a radio broadcasting room.
Eesh.
4 - The Shanghai Complex in China The Chinese Government have reportedly built
a huge underground bunker complex spanning a million square feet with space to shelter
200,000 people in the case of a nuclear attack, although that is only enough space for 1 percent
of the cities population of 20 million.
The vast complex is said to have shopping centres, office buildings, dining facilities,
apartments and even its own subway system.
The secret building is thought to have enough ventilation and protection to keep people
safe from nuclear fall out for over two weeks.
Similar to the somewhat secretive and new Shanghai Complex, Bejing has an Undergound
City, and that is coming in at number 3
Mao’s cold war era underground city was constructed in 1969 and took ten years to
complete.
Chairman Mao was pretty paranoid about nuclear war and wanted a safe heaven, which many refer
to as the Underground Great Wall.
The city was built for military defence and at one point had 90 different entrances hidden
around the city.
The Bunker has been abandoned since the end of the cold war and the mad lads at Vice broke
in 2009 to take some pictures.
They found that the secret bunker network is still very much there, but might not be
so sanitary in a modern-day crisis.
That being said, apparently there is hush hush work going on to repair parts of the
complex.
So maybe the Chinese government know more than we do!
2 The Moscow Metro System
The Moscow Metro system is among the nicest in the world!
It is filled with art, chandeliers and classical music, but there is actually a lot more going
on beneath the surface than meets the eye.
Legend has it that during the Cold War, Stalin built a whole system of secret trains connecting
secret bunkers beneath the city, extending below the Moscow Metro.
The secret bunker system is often referred to as Moscow Metro 2.
Finally at number one, hiding in plain sight, we have
1 Denver Airport
Hands up who lives near Denver USA?
Well, you are lucky as you might just survive the Apocalypse Thanks to a super-secret bunker
rumored to be under the airport.
Built in 1995, some people are convinced there is more than just air space spread over the
airports 35 thousand acre plot.
Denver is now the biggest Airport in the USA and went 2 billion dollars over budget.
Some conspiracies point to a blueprint of five buildings that were seemingly buried
during the early days of construction.
Is this the body of the bunker?
Well, as this is one of the most secretive on the list, we can’t really say/
SO that was the Top 10 Secret Buildings Made for the Apocalypse – imagine how many there
are out there that we don’t know about!
