If the bunker is more than 10X that distance (45 days drilling), a maximum yeild explosion is unlikely to collapse the bunker. Still, even if the bunker survived, how exactly would the occupants exit, if the entrance hole (or holes) no longer exist? Take Care, James Lerch http://lerch.no-ip.com/atm (My telescope construction, Testing, and Coating site) Press on: nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. Calvin Coolidge |

That's a decent point although connecting to other exits e.g. railway tunnels or basements of existing buildings. isn't impossible. |
