  • With a continued looming threat of a nuclear attack from North Korea, demand for underground bunkers has been on the rise. But while even the cheapest option would set a family of two back around $25,000, The Oppidum — the world’s largest private apocalypse shelter located in a quiet valley of the Czech Republic — is right at the other end of the scale, and is how the 1 per cent might live out a doomsday scenario. This gargantuan sprawling complex set over 323,000 square-foot is a mansion, complete with the largest residential underground bunker in the world. The future owner of this property, which is located on a former military base, would be able to ride out a nuclear attack in style, with the two-tier underground quarters featuring a swimming pool and spa, wine cellar, garden with simulated natural light, cinema, library, conference room, medical and surgical facilities, and a command center with communications to the outside world. Construction began way back in 1984 over a 10 year period, but now the underground levels are in a newly-constructed shell-and-core state, with the option of customization available to prospective buyers. Czech entrepreneur Jakub Zamrazil is the man behind The Oppidum and says he is currently in negotiations with “several parties” amid a time of rising fears of a nuclear war. Mr Zamrazil says the price nor the buyer will ever be disclosed publicly — but clearly the financial cost of something on this scale would be astronomical. He came up with the name Oppidum, taken from the Latin “op-pedum” which is an “enclosed space” used to describe European fortresses as far back as the Iron Age. 11 Dec 2017 Pictured: The Oppidum — the world’s largest private apocalypse shelter located in a quiet valley of the Czech Republic — is how the 1 per cent might live out a doomsday scenario.

  • July 24, 2017 - Dhaka, Bangladesh - Bangladeshi conjoined baby girls twins Rabia and Rukia admitted in Hospital at Dhaka on July 24, 2017.Delivered by caesarean at the PDC Clinic in Pabna, North Bangladesh, on July 16 at last year, conjoined twins Rabia and Rukia were born joined at the head. Mum Taslima Khatun Uno and husband Mohammed Rafiqul Islam didn’t learn that the twins were conjoined until after the birth. Doctors are monitoring the twin’s health in the coming weeks and assessing if and when surgical separation is possible and what the risks are to the babies lives. The parents, who are both teachers, worry they won’t be able to fund the surgery themselves and have made a plea to the Bangladeshi government to financially support the operations. Parents said: Surgery will be costly and it’s not possible for us to bear this cost so we are asking the government to help us. (Credit Image: © Mehedi Hasan/NurPhoto via ZUMA Press)
