Shelter from the end of the world

One of my earliest childhood memories was of our family driving by a place that sold prefab shelters - basically large metal containers for burying in your backyard. By the way, does anyone note the fatal flaw in the pictures presented in this article? Four or five of them feature the shelter doors, and they open outward, instead of inward. The one thing about bombs is that they create a lot of ruins. Heavy debris falling on top of a horizontal door, or immediately in front of a vertical one, would probably entomb the inhabitants. Perhaps they'd survive the blast, but eventually die of dehydration. I assure you that all of my secret lairs have the doors mounted correctly.
