Israel is "bunking" for their life ! are u ?

I remember when we were kids (early 80s) we used to wonder why does grandma has a room underground. Noone was supposed to enter. These days, this room is basically a storage area.

If people in Israel read this they would flip of ... "anger" probably. If you lived in Israel and had 70,000 POUNDs, then most likely you'd be asking your neighbour which contractor installed his nuclear bunker in fear of the nuclear threats from Iran.

According to the Times,

Thousands of private homes have been equipped with nuclear-proof equipment ranging from air filters to water-decontamination systems. But builders and contractors say that the demand in the past few months for fully fledged atomic shelters has surged,

Atomic shelters range in price from £70,000 to £500,000. They feature 70cm thick blast-proof doors, ballistic windows, water and air-decontamination systems, which promise to sustain life for up to six months

Well some people are a bit more "fortunate" they have enough cash to live in a "5 star bunker?"

Shlomo Yakov, an Israeli industrialist, spent £300,000 on a nuclear bunker for his family at his sprawling seaside villa just north of Tel Aviv. The underground shelter features a master bedroom and children’s room, a decontaminated-water shower and an electrical generator that feeds a flat-screen
television, surround-sound system and fully stocked stainless steel fridge.

We all know that Israel has its Nuclear Plant? You do right? Do you have any idea where is it located?

Ephraim Sneh, the deputy Defence Minister, The Knesset has speeded up construction of its own nuclear shelter, built beneath pine-covered hills outside Jerusalem. The bunker will serve as a command post in case of war.

Not only that... but they also approved the construction of of a "public shelter underneath Jerusalem’s new railway station to accommodate hundreds of civilians. Construction is due to be complete by 2011 although according to their intelligence system they are expecting Iran's attack by 2009 !

My aunt should expect a call from me tomorrow "requesting for my rights to have grandma's shelter emptied from all the junk in it."

p.s. the shelter was built before 1987 (i was old enough at that time to play with my barbies in it!) i should buy duck tape in case i found any cracks..."in case" awaneh !
