Wisconsin Couple Finds 1960's Fallout Shelter Fully Stocked In Back Yard

[Initech]

NEENAH — When Ken Zwick and Carol Hollar-Zwick bought their Neenah home in 1999, they knew the backyard contained an underground fallout shelter built during the height of the Cold War.

What they didn’t know — and wouldn’t discover until they ventured into the shelter more than a decade later — was the bunker was fully stocked with food and survival supplies from 1960 by the previous homeowner.

“We assumed it was just this empty space,” Hollar-Zwick said.

When the Zwicks unlocked the heavy, metal hatch, they found watertight Army surplus boxes floating in 5 feet of water that had seeped into the shelter. The contents of the boxes, though, were in pristine condition

I wonder if the Twinkies held in the shelter are still intact.

1. No weapons?

2. Those twinkies would be the original most likely.

3. I think it's weird they didn't check it out for a decade.

What's up with that?
