Our friend John ("Commander
Zero") up
in Montana mentioned in his Notes from The Bunker blog an
article about leaking FEMA fuel
tanks. John's comment: "The fact that the tanks themselves are leaking isn't
noteworthy to me. What is noteworthy is why those tanks are there in the first
place. Years ago the girlfriend [now his wife] and I looked at buying one of
these communications bunkers and it had originally been equipped with a 3,000
gallon
fuel tank. The
tank had been removed when the place was decommissioned but you could see the
hole where it used to be. So, if a person were to get hold of this list of tanks
that need attention you would also have, de facto, a list of hardened facilities
and sites since no one was gonna dedicate a resource like fuel and storage to
a facility that would crumble at the first bit overpressure."
