Man emerges from bunker 14 years after Y2K scare

[tsx24]

January 1, 2000 was the day that our computers were meant to fail us and change our lives forever. It was also the day that 44 year old Norman Feller headed into his underground bunker over fears of the fallout from the Y2K virus. Remarkably Mr. Feller spent the next 14 years in isolation only to emerge this past September.

In this touching documentary, Peter Oldring visits with Norman to learn more about his unbelievable decision to live underground.

nice little 5 minute audio of his return

"After being away from society for 14 years, Norman Feller is most impressed with KFC's 'Double Down' sandwich."

a fresh and different kind of crazy for NT

Why did he stay in there for 14 years though?

 

[playamademeskin]

What made he come out ?

 

[mitchellicious]

On closer inspection, this is fake as hell

 

[tsx24]

What made he come out ?

i think from the audio he just said 14 years was a long time to be alone so he just came out although his plan was 15 years. he was a year short of his goal and quit lol

i'm calling fake, a man took to a bunker for 14 yrs. fearing technological fallout, after all the advancements made in tech during that time

he is most impressed with ridiculous chicken sandwich.

dumbass should have stayed in there....we bout to go nuclear anytime now.

how funny/sad would it be if the dude came outta the bunker after so many years and as soon as his foot touched outside.....a nuke dropped...

 

[a blinkin]

[nazdrowie]

Imagine if he was an old white dude from Texas...

Or kill himself.


I don't believe the story either but it'd be funny if it was true.

 

[Thats My Word]
