A complex of doomsday* bunkers in South Dakota, the United States, that can house 10,000 people is being hailed as the “backup plan for mankind.”

Equipped with survival gear and custom-made interiors, the city-sized complex could save thousands in case of an asteroid strike or nuclear war, the creator claims.

Although the structures look imposing from the outside, they have all the comforts of home, including sofas, a coffee table and paintings hanging on the walls. They even include “virtual windows” with LEDs to simulate* the different views of the outside world.

Vivos, the company building the doomsday bunkers, is developing 29 square kilometers of military space in South Dakota. The bunkers are about 8 meters by 24 meters and have enough room to keep supplies for 12 months. Each one can house between 10 and 20 people.

Vivos is one of the world’s leaders in bunker construction. The company’s latest offering, the XPoint, is advertised as the largest doomsday community on Earth. The bunkers were originally used by the army in 1942 and can withstand a 500,000-ton blast. They were built with super reinforced concrete and steel walls and doors just in case the bombs they stored blew up.

The company bought the space in 2016 and the first bunkers are due to be ready for moving in this summer.

Another of the most well-known U.S. bunkers are the Survival Condos in Kansas. It was revealed last year that all the apartments in the first complex were sold out, and people now have the option to buy a flat in the second silo.(SD-Agencies)Inside the luxury bunker.
