Sales of doomsday bunkers up 1,000%

A rendering of the 950-person bunker that Vivos is planning to build under the grasslands of Nebraska.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — A devastating earthquake strikes Japan. A massive tsunami kills thousands. Fears of a nuclear meltdown run rampant. Bloodshed and violence escalate in Libya.

And U.S. companies selling doomsday bunkers are seeing sales skyrocket anywhere from 20% to 1,000%.

Northwest Shelter Systems, which offers shelters ranging in price from $200,000 to $20 million, has seen sales surge 70% since the uprisings in the Middle East, with the Japanese earthquake only spurring further interest. In hard numbers, that’s 12 shelters already booked when the company normally sells four shelters per year.

    WOW………Some people really underestimate the Hand of God of maybe they are just ignorant of His Ominpotence! I mean do the really think that a Doomsday bunker underground is going to save them.
    The only thing that will save us is through the Grace and Mercies of God. How can we achieve this?
    By surrendering our all to God. In the light of all that is going on in the world today, there is no better time than now to turn to our Lord and Saviour. No matter what we did in our lives, His arms are open to receive us once we are genuine and sincere in our efforts to get closer to him.

    We should all work towards being ready for the coming of God……Not worry about some underground safety. For so long we have been living our lives as we please without regard for the Father,so I now ask Dominicans and whoever reads this to stop and take notice of our changing world and realize that our Lifes needs some changing. No one is perfect but guess what?? Jesus did not die for perfect people!! He died for sinners so that we in turn can be saved!

    So let’s forget about this May 21st thing just live our live the way God would want it. It took me a while to realize that fact and even as I am writing I am cominig to new realizations about God! And u can too!

    I hope this was a blessing to Someone!

    hahah…man stupid!! I say that because no unsaved that think they can avoid God’s wrath by going under ground THEY ARE FOOLISH…LACK TOTAL WISDOM…the only way to be saved from the wrath of God is but accepting his son… acknowledging that he died for you, and that you are a sinner who is heading to hell…accept him as your lord and Saviour!

    hahahha…lol…lol human being on a whole isn’t the wises creatures nah..or they act as if they are wise but their actions are foolish! who do they think God is…they might temporarily escape destruction and radiation, but nothing man create will not stand strong to the wrath of God….not under water, not under ground certainly not out in space..they won’t say to turn their life to God…the only only refuge but they think their millionaire “doomsday bunkers” will save them!!!…..

      THAT WAS THE SAME THING THEY SAID TO NOAH
      THIS IS MODERN TIMES

        hahah…my friend…i am ready to die right now…of course the flesh might get a bit scared,but only of the pain….but i am not afraid because I know in whom i believe and trust…i am his child and he is my father…he knows his children and not his creation….

        PS….underground is the worst place…earthquake and just below is the hot lava..and just as in noah days the water burst from under the ground…it MIGHT be the same for the fire,,,but then again the bible said fire will consume and destroy the earth..not the top soil and it’s content!! the earth..meaning everyone and everything…

        Also the is a ship which can keep people safe from hell and it Jesus! that is my ship or boat or safety!! not man made underground home!
