Welome to China's Cold War era secret nuclear bunker. Called the 816 Nuclear Military Plant, the former underground fallout shelter and nuclear energy production facility is now recognized as the world's largest man-made cave. Hidden under the mountains in China's Chongqing region, the 816 plant served as the fall-back contingency location for Chinese political and military leadership in case of nuclear war, but the secretive location has now opened its doors to the public for the first time in October.
Werner Brodbeck is selling his home, but the nuclear bunker in his basement is the main attraction. The bunker will keep you safe in case of nuclear war, zombie apocalypse, disease epidemic, and meteor impact, and it will give you a chance to help those outside when you're ready. Werner even applied for the home to be officially recognised as a historical heritage property. Complete with emergency water tanks and 100 telephone lines, Werner has placed the property on the market for 1.6 million Canadian dollars, or about 1.2 million US.
This Soviet-era Zil PEU-1B six-wheeled rover was commissioned during the height of the Cold War by the USSR to retrieve fallen satellites, space junk and even cosmonauts returning from orbit. The search and rescue vehicle has been lovingly restored to its former glory over three years on the territory of the old Zil factory in Moscow and is now roving through the countryside once more.
Classic Soviet cars, spy toys, and even archives of Checkpoint Charlie border guards, these were just a fraction of the items on display at the Wende Museum of the Cold War as it opened its new collection in Los Angeles on Sunday. Some 100,000 Cold War artefacts from 1945 to 1991 were exhibited to the public in Culver City.
