In California, an underground complex called the Barstow Bunker built to survive a nuclear war is being renovated by Robert Vicino.
Turning it from the 1960's structure into a more luxurious resort, there is an air-filtration system that will neutralize any biological, chemical or nuclear attacks. The Barstow Bunker will also stock enough food and clothing to sustain 135 people for at least a year -- in a lifestyle that resembles much like vacationing on a cruise ship.
