::anila Andreyev started building “panic rooms” three years ago, when fears of terrorist attacks and commercial disputes turning violent created demand in Russia. Now he’s selling “survival bunkers” for as much as $400,000 each to capitalize on angst over theories the world will end next year.

“I myself am not a believer in doomsday scenarios,” Andreyev, 31, whose Spetsgeoproekt company is completing 15 bunkers at hidden locations across Russia, said at his office in central Moscow. “But when you start hearing clients talking about the end of the world, it gets you thinking.”

I'm old enough to remember the panic building of fallout shelters in the early 1960's. It was very weird.

if the world comes to an end, what good is a bunker?

I wonder which it will be more like, Metro 2033 or Fallout: New Vegas? Either way gamers are going to have a huge edge.

If we are to believe them, it's a merely a 5 day wait. Did they mention time, like are we working GMT here or should we all ship to Hawaii to max our earthbound stay? Does G_d recognize time zones?
