I am drooling. Having seen this segment on Doomsday Preppers I'm never going to be able to check out a shipping container fortress the same way again.
1. Missle condos
Larry has practically completed the impossible and developed an end of the world location that is resistant to apparently any type of catastrophe. With 9 foot thick concrete walls there is almost no force which mother nature or man can throw at him. Built to literally tolerate the force of a nuclear strike, missile silos are the meaning of a hardened place. This is especially applicable relating to any risk from an EMP strike.
After doing some looking around, I noticed that Larry gradually moved into the silo business during a time in the telecommunication industry. In order to protect data centers in the days after 9/11 he bought the silo device with the intent of storing important business data. This tactic exists to an extent today with a strategy for servers in the compound which will take regular 'snapshots' of the internet so as to preserve the data in the event of a failure. An important factor for generations to come, who will preferably be using the sage wisdom on this site to prevent damages from mycotoxins.
2. Resources and supplies
When finished, Larry can have more than five years of food items at 2500 calories each day for seventy people. Incredible. That is almost the biggest store I have ever heard of. Sadly, it's even the biggest store that anybody viewing national geographic in the last year has heard about either.
Fortunately, Larry has got some 10,000 rounds of ammunition, an incredibly hardened entry and also extensive border defenses. It does not matter if the fountain of youth was hidden in that silo, even if confused, no amount of small arms fire would be able to knock down that entrance. Though it may be most likely people would be aware of the food stores, the extremely likely result of harm or death would make it a bad choice.
3. Escape
This is one of the few scenarios in which I would claim that bugging out isn't an essential technique. If there was something on the other side of the blast door, they could literally wait many years until they vanished. Starving them out is an extremely practical choice.
4. Impenetrable?
In case I were a raider in command of an angry mob of murderers, how would I get a hold of the valuable food items in this silo? It wouldn't be impossible. First, the external perimeter safety would have to be removed, which would be feasible if my band had been big enough. The weak point would not come in assaulting the major blast door but by reducing the air supply.
As per the site, the air is fed through NBC filters (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) which are protected by blast valves which protect from shockwaves (such as from the nuclear detonation). They might have food items to last for five years but who knows how much air? By obstructing the air valves it would be easy to 'smoke out' the occupants.
The only method this could be overcome would be through including liquid oxygen like on the space shuttle or by making a sealed loop system with oxygen as well as CO2. This would decrease the livable space of the silo but would theoretically create a mini-ecosystem that recycled oxygen.
