I believe the US does have DUMBS, and maybe a connected network of them. If you go back to the Cold War, and think about how freaked out the Worlds leaders were, Especially President Reagan. I think he had a genuine fear, and if these were built, most likely started on Reagans presidency. He wanted many sheilds against possible Nuclear and space weapons, Star Wars was one option, and I think the other was to have a well established network of DUMBS to carry life on, in case of an attack. It would make sense, hell if I was president during those tramatic times, I sure would have considerd it

I always wondered why the didnt turn the old Salt Mines under Detroit into a city.
I took a tour there when I was in school- They are MASSIVE (Detroit is almost 200 sq miles and the mines are probably 1/4 of the city)- They stay at a relative temperature all year long (no heating and cooling needed) and again...massive -they dwarf those pictures.
I have been in mammoth cave and some,...Um....caves I wasnt supposed to enter in kentucky as I love spelunking and feel very at easy underground. The "hollow Earth" theory is my favorite (although I honestly do not believe it) and I would live underground in a heartbeat... Detroit could literally probably move the remaining population into the mines and have leftover room.
Anyhow, this is all cool stuff IMO. Any really long documentaries or podcasts (I like long stuff , lol) about the Hollow Earth? I usually cannot find anything except new agey stuff and I am more interesting in exploration of labyrinthine caverns and the like.
The Detroit Salt Company, LLC, a subsidiary of The Kissner Group, is a part of the history and fabric of Detroit with nearly 100 years of operations. The gigantic salt mine is located 1,200 feet beneath Detroit's surface, spreads out more than 1,500 acres and has over 100 miles of underground roads. The mineshaft opening is located at 12841 Sanders Street in Detroit, Michigan.
