Inside a Canadian DIY nuclear bunker built from 42 buried buses.

This bunker made from old school buses has sporadically been in the Canadian news for years now. Up until now, I did not know a whole lot about it - but if you read the article and watch the video, you will swiftly come to the conclusion that the person who owns this setup is a bit eccentric to say the least.

For the sake of my sanity, I will remain on the surface.

42 buried buses - that's more like an underground shopping mall.

I misspent some of my youth in the mining industry and I'm quite comfortable underground...but the pictures from that article were not excessively comforting.

I'd have to say +1 without more info about how it's put together. Especially the bit about water beading on the ceiling.
