>Is this the one built under a Virginia resort hotel?
hi Mark, yes it was. a very interesting interview with the
bomb shelter's director of facilities is on the site's main page
>Duck and cover! How naive we were to think that someone might actually
>survive a 20 MT nuke blast. Simple extrapolation of the Hiroshima and
>Nagasaki results would have suggested otherwise.
there are six films with Quicktime, two of which have buildings
which demonstrate the concept of Pounds-per-Square-Inch (PSI)
pressure from an atom blast, with winds up to 500 mph. one of
the short films, the last or second to last i think, shows army
troops standing up in a nuclear wind. wow. hard to believe. there
is also a layer-cake bomb simulation which makes me think about
our harnessing of minute particles of energy, and how these
things have vast ramifications, nuclear power, nuclear ships
and submarines, nuclear powerplants, nuclear bombs... i wonder
what "nanotechnology" is going to bring our way, inching down
from the micro to the nano, or billionth of a meter scale...
here's the url for the films:
