Family discovers fully-stocked Fallout Shelter in Back Yard 50 Yrs. Later




IF YOU REMEMBER THE 1960’S AND PEOPLE TALKING
ABOUT FALLOUT SHELTERS, YOU MAY ENJOY THIS.  
 
Family discovers fully-stocked Fallout Shelter
in their back yard 50 years after it was installed
at the height of the Cold War. PUBLISHED: 2013
The stocked shelter is just one example of the fears
that many Americans felt during the Cold War, when
the threat of nuclear warfare was all too real.
 
The family cleared away the bushes that had grown
over the cover of the shelter.

Not only is it fascinating to see the well-preserved time capsule,
but it's also interesting to see what the 1960s family deemed
necessary for 2 weeks underground in a 8’ x 10’ bunker.
 
When the Zwicks’ unlocked the heavy, metal hatch, they found
watertight Army surplus boxes floating in 5 feet of water that had
seeped into the shelter.
The boxes' contents were in pristine condition.
 
Thanks Richard
