Reservations for a doomsday bunker in the U.S. have rocketed since Japan's catastrophic earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown.

The 137,000sq ft bunker - designed to house 950 people for a year and withstand a 50 megaton blast - is currently being built under the grasslands of Nebraska.

Vivos, the California-based company behind it, is taking $5,000 (£3,100) deposits, which will have to be topped up to $25,000 (£15,600) to secure a place.

What about actual numbers? If they go from selling 1 a year to selling 10, that really isn't much as a percentage of Americans.
And would you want to be trapped underground with 950 people? Maybe these are being built because of the Mayan calendar hype.

I'd rather enjoy the last bright red sunset and get it over with quick. Who wants to live underground like a rat....not me.
