Have these guys ever considered that the survivors outside the bunkers might just weld the bunker doors shut whilst those inside watch them do it on closed circuit television?

    I think the bigger threat is people dropping toxic gas or bombs down the ventilation shafts.

    cause ventilation shafts will be found, eventually, no matter how well they hide them.

    If there's any kind of catastrophe, people are going to want the resources inside these things. They're not going to destroy the bunkers, just their occupants. Yeah, gas would do the trick. I'd suggest starting with CS, just to send a message.

    They could do like submarines and have air scrubbers. That'd keep them going for a while with no vents.

    The core hardware of a premium nuclear bunker air scrubber (like those from DEFCON Bunkers or [American Safe Room]) lasts 5 to 10 years. However, the actual CBRN filters (gas and particulate) require replacement every 6 to 12 months when operating, while the primary HEPA filter can last for years in dry, non-contaminated environments.

    This would just lead them to store gas-axes in their bunkers. What i dont imagine they can counter, however, would be the urge to leave once the air system is sabotaged and the crowd outside is sat waiting.

    This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!

    Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

    This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here.

    What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
