This is True

Clunker Bunker

The Reichert family of Battle Creek, Mich., says that when the city tore down an abandoned house, they damaged their family bomb shelter next door. The underground shelter, built in 1958 at a cost of $80,000, was heavily damaged, they say. Their attorney says the Reicherts now “have nowhere to go to survive” in case of nuclear attack or any other “type of situation,” and may file a lawsuit if the city doesn’t pay $6 million in damages. (UPI) ...If the shelter couldn’t handle a bulldozer driving over it, how much good could it have been in a nuclear attack?
