This headline caught my eye: “This luxury nuclear apocalypse bunker has a swimming pool, movie theater, and sauna.”
The Survival Condo is a luxury condominium complex comprised of fifteen floors and reaching two hundred feet below the ground. It is located roughly two hundred miles from Kansas City.
