    Have these guys ever considered that the survivors outside the bunkers might just weld the bunker doors shut whilst those inside watch them do it on closed circuit television?

      I think the bigger threat is people dropping toxic gas or bombs down the ventilation shafts.

      cause ventilation shafts will be found, eventually, no matter how well they hide them.

        They could do like submarines and have air scrubbers. That’d keep them going for a while with no vents.

          Unless they have a biodiverse ecosystem and infinite energy, they’ll eventually need some input from outside of their bunkers.

          The core hardware of a premium nuclear bunker air scrubber (like those from DEFCON Bunkers or [American Safe Room]) lasts 5 to 10 years. However, the actual CBRN filters (gas and particulate) require replacement every 6 to 12 months when operating, while the primary HEPA filter can last for years in dry, non-contaminated environments.

          They only have so many replacement filters, if you keep pumping carbon monoxide in (heavier than air, so it will sink and be harder to pump out), the life support systems will break.

        If there’s any kind of catastrophe, people are going to want the resources inside these things. They’re not going to destroy the bunkers, just their occupants. Yeah, gas would do the trick. I’d suggest starting with CS, just to send a message.

        Then just cut the doors open and loot the supply hoards. Convenient that you can look these things up on the internet and save map pins to find them in case of need…

      I would bury them after the welding, then scout where the escape hatches and weld and bury them too… Then the air system…

      This place is a message… and part of a system of messages… pay attention to it!

      Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

      This place is not a place of honor… no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here… nothing valued is here.

      What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.

      This would just lead them to store gas-axes in their bunkers. What i dont imagine they can counter, however, would be the urge to leave once the air system is sabotaged and the crowd outside is sat waiting.

        Gas masks don’t help with total lack of oxygen. All you have to do is send pure nitrogen down the ventilation shafts, even if they tanked O2, that’s maybe 10 hours per tank per person - how many tanks do you think they got with their $55K “Villa de Armageddon”?

        I don’t think that any outcome they foresee will have any relation to what will actually happen.
