Castle in the Ozarks

    “We are in the process of building both a home for my family and, more importantly, a living laboratory for energy-efficiency and disaster resistant technology for years to come,”

    Ha - ha the joke is on this zillionaire DB...anyone who has ever seen a disaster movie knows it always starts off with some super-rich asshole standing up at a press conference telling the world his newest project (skyscraper, boat, airplane...etc, etc) cannot be destroyed. And then Mother Nature totally lays waste to the thing with the asshole himself being killed in some ironic way. Can't wait to see this dipshit get the same treatment.

    My neighbor used to build nuclear bomb shelters. I am not kidding. He would sell you one if you desired. He was the guy you just described. He was a zillionaire and died in a plane crash at 89 years old last year.

    "...In the 2000s, Brown also became known for building a nuclear shelter across the street from his home. ..."

    "...Modock said Brown’s main concern throughout his life was some kind of military or biological attack on the U.S. According to Modock, Brown bought land in Greenland and intended to fly his family there if such an attack ever occurred.

    “It’s ironic he died in a plane crash and not from an attack,” Modock said. ..."

    It's actually Vermilion township. Berlin Hts abuts the township right there.
