In a way,  I can't believe someone actually thought of this... in another way, I am not surprised     <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />   Qsleeper

Wonder if it includes a "warning/caution tag" for claustrophobics?

Aside from all the coffin jokes...did anyone else notice that it has to be placed on a concrete foundation and must have access to a power supply? Ok, if the electricity is what is going to open this thing up..and in a Tornado, Hurricane or Earthquake..the power is the first thing to go...man I would not want to be in there.  Hopefully there is a manual opening feature...hopefully.  <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I am claustraphobic. The first thought I had when I saw that.. thing was "I'm not going to die in one of those!"
  Dark, stuffy, hot, and you can touch the walls in all three axis. They will find people who aren't normally claustrophobic by giving them panic attacks with that thing.

It looks like it is made of wood.  It does not look bullet proof.  Also, there is no bathroom.  Does is come with Depends?  I need to get up and walk around.  It would drive me nuts!

It looks like something Dr. Evil would have in an Austin Powers movie. All they need to do is add a small motor, wheels and a joystick. Then you too can sit in traffic in the comfort and security of  your mobile coffin.

  Is there a twin sized version?  With a chemical attack, I think you'd want your kids to have one.  Of course, the  only way to communicate would be with the radio.
    Plus, how many husbands would really want to be stuck in that thing with their wife during an emergency?
    I can remember during a hurricane my mom telling my dad "How can you be so calm at a time like this?".  My dad simply replied; "The windows are boarded up, we have food, we have water, the electricity is out, but we're okay and in case you didn't notice that the Hurricane outside is a natural event, and those events are controlled by a God.  Last time I checked, I don't think you considered me a God.  There is nothing more I can do."
