Fallout coming!

Post » Sat Jun 18, 2011 4:28 am

I ran across this article and thought it was pretty funny, however i'm sure the residents of the fallout world may have felt the same when similar ad's starting showing up for Vault-Tec vaults, and we all know how that turned out!
The jist of the article proclaims that their vaults can withstand a 20 ton nuclear blast (pics or it didn't happen) and will be available for 10K (economy, 6 mo food) and 35K (luxury, 1 yr food) per person.
each vault will house 1000 people in a 100,000 sq ft. shelter located in Nebraska. I'm saving my caps now!

You shoulda been around back in the 50's. Backyard nuke shelters were selling like hotcakes, and right after reciting the pledge of allegiance, grade-school kids had to practice getting under their desks quickly, in case of nuclear attack. Really.

:eek: Those liars! My teachers said that hiding under a desk gave me a 1,000x survival rate during a nuclear attack. :sadvaultboy:

We've already had discussions about Vivos, they're clearly selling a crock of [censored].

Just check their website, there's a section called 'prophecy' that talks about how the shelters are designed to protect against [censored] scenarios like Planet X and Global Tsunamis. And they only last for a year, which wouldn't be enough for most of the stuff they say the shelters will protect you from.

http://www.terravivos.com/secure/prophecy.htm

The website has a COUNTDOWN TO 2012 for [censored]'s sake.

I guess at least they aren't going to experiment on people.
