Nuke-Proof Bunker Turns Out Not Waterproof

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the maybe-send-it-to-cuba dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The AP reports on the opening of a vault in Tulsa, OK which was designed to withstand a nuclear attack by the Russians. 50 years ago they put a Plymouth Belvedere in the vault to preserve it so that we could get a good look at it in the (for that time) magical year of 2007. Unfortunately it turns out that the vault wasn't even waterproof. The once beautiful car is now a literal rust bucket."

    I think a better question is how many soldiers will the US have in Iraq in 2050.

    Congratulations! You managed a comment about the Iraq war, and an comment about George W. Bush (via sig) in a thread with absolutely no connection to either whatsoever. You win nothing but your own self satisfaction. Thanks for cluttering up the internet.

    Your defensive reaction is odd. It seems your responding to a bitter satirical jab with self righteous indignation which makes you look more foolish then him. He is trolling his political view and you are trolling yours. Both of you clutter up the internet with off topic vitriol.

    The thing that will amaze and astonish some people is that I did it in WinXP Pro running Safari! (I'm still waiting for someone to give me a link that will crash it.)
