End of the World is Still Scheduled for This Week
Four days to go until the Mayan Doomsday – and there’s a rush on for bomb-proof survival bunkers (complete with leather sofas and plasma screen TVs)
If you’re seriously concerned about the world ending on Friday, then this could be just the ticket. Ron Hubbard has built a luxurious underground bomb-proof shelter in Montebello, California, with a leather sofa, plasma TV and wooden flooring – just in case the Mayans’ predictions come true.
‘I’ll spend three days underground in the shelter just to be safe. If you have a shelter you might as well go in it. I don’t think anything will happen but you never know.’
The Mayan civilisation’s Long Count calendar which began 5,125 years ago in 3113 B.C. ends on December 21, 2012 – sparking fears among a small group of people that a major catastrophe could happen.
