BUSINESS has never been better at Atlas Survival Shelters, which ships bunkers to customers around the world from its US factories. Among the best sellers: the BombNado, with a starting price of US$18,999.

The popularity of the company's doomsday fortifications is no surprise, considering the state of the world in general and, specifically, North Korea supreme leader Kim Jong Un's pursuit of a missile that can hit continental US. Curiously, though, the most furious surge of interest is not in America but Japan, a country that has long been within North Korea's striking distance.
