The most luxurious atomic bunker in the world: photos
During the Cold War, the U.S.
government did everything possible to prepare citizens for a possible thermonuclear war. Both children and adults had to prepare themselves to face this battle and war in the best possible way. Children could protect themselves by going to school and standing under desks.
Parents, on the other hand, had the task of building actual bunkers. A bunker, a kind of fallout shelter to prepare for the impending war.
Many Americans, for this very reason, have decided to get to work. Among the Americans, there was one Girald Brown (Jerry) Henderson.
Henderson was a businessman, a wealthy man who took the opportunity to build a bunker considered the most luxurious in the world.
His fallout shelter was located in his home in Las Vegas, Nevada, approximately 28 feet underground.
His bunker, as you can see in the photo, is considered the most luxurious in the world.
His bunker is perfectly suited for comfort. It has a swimming pool, sauna, garden with fountains and waterfalls. Its barbecue also has a grill inside an artificial rock.
A way to be with friends and have fun, perhaps during summer evenings. Henderson thought of living here at every moment and time rather than deciding to flee from place to place because of bombs.
As you can see, it looks like a two-story house.
It is a house, a bunker in which there are many air conditioners placed on the floor and disguised as rocks. Behind the rocks, there is also an elevator where guests can go up and find themselves in another part of the house. The shelter consists of two bedrooms, a kitchen, several bathrooms and guest rooms. The house or bunker has its own yard, obviously fake, with fake grass, fake lawn, fake flowers and fake trees. As for the lighting, the lights are dimmed or illuminated. In addition, the stars on the ceiling light up at night, almost creating a romantic atmosphere.
The bunker dates back to 1978. It was not his first bunker, as he had already built others. The first bunker or subway house was built in Boulder, Colorado . Henderson is an entrepreneur. A very wealthy man thanks to many companies, such as Avon and many others. He also founded a company, Underground Homes, where he praises the concept of living underground and says that many Americans should take an example, as it is considered beneficial.
Henderson lived in this house, a bunker until 1983, the year of his death. His wife died years later and the house ended up with a relative. In 2014, the house was purchased by a company, the Society for the Conservation of Nearby Extinct Species. A house purchased for $1.15 million. Since then, there has been no word on the house and what the company’s plans are.
I think each of us would like to live in such a bunker, don’t you? In the meantime, we can dream while admiring these photos of his house.
