North Korea spurs bomb shelter business

New York

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.
