China to Build Survival Shelters
April 11, 2010
Shanghai “is soon to start building massive survival shelters in case of a catastrophic end-of-days type environmental disaster. And not just one – the authorities are building three of them, each capable of housing up to 10,000 people for more than a month,” says the South China Morning Post. The article refers to the 2012 movie because it just happens this shelters will be completed by 2012. The shelters will come complete with entertainment, leisure spaces, gyms and car parks.
It is hard to determine exactly what has inspired this bold move from the Chinese government. Climate change is a strong possibility, especially due its coastal location. One would expect that if the government had knowledge of a 2012 event, as was depicted in the movie, that the shelters would either have a higher capacity, or they’d be secret.
