    Every bunker has at least one secondary “escape” hatch" in case the primary entrance is obstructed - generally it’s buried and isolated/insulated from the thermal mass of the rest of the bunker so it doesn’t show up on IR, but a metal detector will work wonders for finding them.

      You can also find them with ground penetrating radar since they tend to use sand as that insulating layer. From underneath they open a hatch and drain the sand out to clear the escape hatch. A big block of sand is plain and obvious to identify on a 250MHz system.

      Every bunker will be built by people who won’t be invited to live in it. The locations of all exits, vents, water supplies, etc. won’t stay secret for very long.

      Can also go the brute force route and overload the structure a lot of the time. Park a couple water tankers, a crane, whatever on top. They’re usually not made with the intention of supporting an extra 100tonnes

    Why is everyone assuming the truck is actually filled with concrete? Mythbusters famously demonstrated they can be used to carry, and mix, a wide variety of products.

    Like fertiliser contaminated with diesel, for example.

    They’ll have to have ventilation, so dump as much liquid nitrogen down there as possible. It will convert to gas at a rate of 696:1, and fill every nook & cranny of the bunker with pure nitrogen gas, which will solve the problem within a few breaths.

    THEN encase it in concrete, and leave it for some archeologist to discover in 10,000 years.

        Why? All the money is 1’s and 0’s on the computer. I’d not like they physically have a billion dollars in printed stocks.

          No, the bunkers are for a post-digital world. Digital money will have evaporated. Those bunkers will be filled with gold bars, precious gems, and art. Also useful barter items.

          Also weapons and ammo.

    It’s more likely to be the mercenaries that already killed said billionaire and now control the compound.

    Be careful might want to killdozer-up the cement truck first.

    Finally a vault that Bethesda didn’t think of.

    A vault full of gollums, sealed in with concrete.

    If they are hiding in their bunkers because of an ecological disaster then we’re all screwed. If they are hiding in their bunkers from us…then we’ll get 'em eventually.

    They aren’t sitting in their bunkers because they don’t need to. People have still too much to lose to try making the concept of consequences real for billionaires.

      Yes, but the point is that scaring them now with this idea of the future may help prevent it.

      They think their bunkers will be safe in X years and lots of people are going to ensure they aren’t

    Here is the thing about bunkers. Unless they have installed some way to power that bunker and provide water and food that cannot be destroyed, it’s a self-made trap. They can be ignored and the denizens will die in the cold damp darkness of starvation and dehydration. With a probable side dose of madeness.
