1. Fear mongering bullshit. If there’s a nuclear war, I hope to be one of the first to die.

2. I was going to say that Japan has nothing to really worry about as they have no nuclear weapons, but then I stopped myself and remembered that the US Navy has multiple bases around the country which have ships that carry, or could carry, nuclear weapons.

4. If there was a nuclear war I’d much rather die than going to a bunker just to try surviving what comes next lol

5. From the article:
   > It says the underground shelter can house a family of four adults, three children and one pet for a maximum of two weeks. While the entire space is about 48 square meters, its living area is around 25.6 square meters.

   >Amenities include a portable toilet, an air filtration system and a 200-millimeter-thick blast-proof door. Its foreign specifications present limitations, though, with the association saying Japanese building rules on hot water in enclosed spaces mean any shower in the unit can only run cold.

   > Construction of the model shelter came in at a total of around 40 million yen ($277,000) to build and outfit but the organization maintains that a more standard price would be around 20 to 30 million yen per unit, not inclusive of the land on which it is constructed.

6. …. And how will the bomb shelter help when the whole of Japan is a radiactive wasteland?

7. The construction industry is going to love this. In fact, I’d guess that they are funding this particular NPO.
