2012 Russian Doomsday Capsule
Posted by Ryan on February 14th, 2011A Russian military engineer, Evgeny Ubiyko, is building an $80,000 Doomsday Capsule designed to survive the 2012 apocalypse, as understood from folklore, television and movies. Ubiyko is building his capsule on an abandoned battery farm just outside Moscow.
“The capsule is hermetic, it’s got four layers of insulation. It can float, roll down hills, and land upside down – without being damaged,” Evgeny explains.
“It cannot be destroyed by tremors, or lava, or magnetic storms. This is where the shower will be, and the air purification systems. It can house up to four people for 40 days and costs $80,000.”
I want to reiterate this last point: the inventor claims that this capsule is impervious to LAVA. That is something that I would like to see in action. Hey, fun fact – if the world doesn’t actually end, Evgeny says the capsules can be used as saunas or industrial fridges. He strongly recommends that the government order several thousand immediately.

so this guy claims he’s a genius and recommends the government order several thousand… hard to argue with logic like that.
Also, did anyone else notice the family of five giving each other funny looks when he says it will house up to four people?
