TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Joe Lambe US-LIFESTYLE-MISSILE-DOOMSDAY-HOUSING
A sign is viewed on March 22, 2012 on a rural road which points the way to a site where survival condos are being built in a former nuclear missile silo north of Salina , Kansas. Tucked deep beneath the Kansas prairie, luxury condos are being built into the shaft of an abandoned missile silo to service anxious -- and wealthy -- doomsday preppers. So far, four buyers have plopped down a total of about $7 million for havens to flee to when disaster happens or the end is nigh. And developer Larry Hall has options to retrofit three more Cold War-era silos when this one fills up. "They worry about events ranging from solar flares, to economic collapse, to pandemics to terrorism to food shortages," Hall told AFP on a recent tour of the site. AFP PHOTO / Joe Lambe
