Add to Lightbox DownloadA California-based disaster shelter company says it has experienced a huge surge in demand for underground bunkers amid the coronavirus crisis. Atlas Survival Shelters — which makes and installs underground bunkers that can withstand nuclear disasters and fire — says they have almost entirely sold out of its inventory, bar a few very small shelters. The Montebello-based company offers shelter ranging in size from 100sq ft for two people, to much larger and more luxurious designs that can accommodate around 25 people. With prices anywhere between $20,000 to $250,000. Atlas Survial Shelters owner Ron Hubbard told the Los Angeles Times: ‘No one is buying a bunker only because of coronavirus. ‘The people buying a bunker wanted a bunker before corona, but this has pushed them. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. They’re like, “Let’s just do it.”’ Speaking about the huge demand, Hubbard said: ‘I sold two within 30 seconds today… that were almost a quarter-million [dollars] apiece.’ He added that some of his clientele included celebrities that ‘you see in magazines literally every week’. 02 Apr 2020 Pictured: Atlas Survival Shelters in Montebello, California, has experienced a huge surge in demand for underground bunkers amid the coronavirus pandemic.
