NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- A devastating earthquake strikes Japan. A massive tsunami kills thousands. Fears of a nuclear meltdown run rampant. Bloodshed and violence escalate in Libya.

And U.S. companies selling doomsday bunkers are seeing sales skyrocket anywhere from 20% to 1,000%.
Northwest Shelter Systems, which offers shelters ranging in price from $200,000 to $20 million, has seen sales surge 70% since the uprisings in the Middle East, with the Japanese earthquake only spurring further interest. In hard numbers, that's 12 shelters already booked when the company normally sells four shelters per year.

"Sales have gone through the roof, to the point where we are having trouble keeping up," said Northwest Shelter Systems owner Kevin Thompson.

UndergroundBombShelter.com, which sells portable shelters, bomb shelters and underground bunkers, has seen inquiries soar 400% since the Japanese earthquake. So far sales of its $9,500 nuclear biological chemical shelter tents are at an all-time high -- with four sold in California last week, compared to about one a month normally.

Hardened Structures said inquiries have shot up about 20% since the earthquake -- particularly for its apocalyptic 2012 shelters, radiation-protection tents, and nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) air filters.

....

do you understand the function of percentages?

actually he does lol, i think you got it wrong.

for example, if previously they were selling 1 bunker per year, and now the sales % went up a 1,000%, that means they're selling 10 per year.

....

even if the company two more shelters, they'd be at 50% increase in annual sales, or if we average out their normal four shelters per year to 1 per quarter and they had sold 1 more shelter they'd have already doubled their quarterly sales. Besides this will most likely make little to no difference in the long run.

[haymura]

so are we talking about financial percentages or survival of a possible apocalypse?

[hk20000]

None of neither, its snake oil of an idea.

[StylinRed]

ah there was a show on natgeo or discovery.. one of those sci channels that was about these apocalypse shelters

and one of the ones shown (a luxury unit) was built on a cliff-top by the shore lol; i know that doesn't mean anything concrete it just seems hilarious because the area looks like it's ready to go with a little earthquake

[Tegra_Devil]

[Culverin]

I'm in the engineering industry for 3D modelling I'm in need of a new job.
I guess I'll contact these guys and see what kind of work they are looking for.

Seems like something fun to play around with, for a while anyways.

what's your point? some companies have low inventory turnovers, that doesn't make them any less profitable than a company with a conventional turnover rate.

I'm down :)

[noventa]

when your done with it, you can salvage it for 100% of its cost.

[asahai69]

just do what indiana jones did. use your fridge if theres a nuke comming your way............

[CanadaGoose]

Unless it's got a 30 foot thick reinforced concrete ceiling, under 100 feet of dirt, it's not bomb proof lol

At $200,000 to $20 million per unit, you'd be better off investing in a crazy getaway vehicle like a big ass Knight XV, kept fully fueled, fully loaded with supplies, racks of guns and cases of ammo in the back, tools - everything including the damn kitchen sink lol - and pretty much ready to bust through your garage door and GTFO at a moments notice. If shit hits the fan, I'd rather get out of dodge then stick around and see what happens :D

All I can think of is Fallout and that i'm totally prepared for the raiders and ghouls that will roam the wasteland after any nuclear war

I betcha anything those bunkers will go down first during massive quake... don’t they realize what will happen at 9.X Earthquake?....

[shawn79]

safest bunker should be located in the middle east, since that is where the first people were discovered

If you're not near fault lines, that's not really a concern. Unfortunately it is for us :\
