It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) · Aug 26, 02:32 PM

From io9:
“In the days of duck-and-cover drills and atomic anxiety, many families bought space in bomb shelters, stocking and decorating their possible nuclear homes. Richard Ross’s photographs capture the abandoned shelters and what some families planned to take to the apocalypse.”

“In the days of duck-and-cover drills and atomic anxiety, many families bought space in bomb shelters, stocking and decorating their possible nuclear homes. Richard Ross’s photographs capture the abandoned shelters and what some families planned to take to the apocalypse. Ross’s book Waiting for the End of the World contains photographs and accounts of bomb shelters from across America, Europe, and Asia. Below are photos from just a few of those shelters: shelters in Sanpete and Salt Lake City, Utah, the Phillip Hoag and Charlie Hull Shelters in Emigrant, Montana, oil tycoon’s Ling Chieh Kung’s shelter in Conroe, Texas, and a public shelter near Zurich.”
