James O'Neill, an investigator with the city fire marshal's office, said the man, a 47-year-old veteran, uses car batteries to light the 16-by-20-foot space, which is six feet underground. He cooks food in a hot pot.
The man said the bunker took two years to dig, O'Neill said.
The walls are covered with insulation and plastic tarps and the ceiling is made of wood and roofing material, said O'Neill, who discovered the home while investigating a nearby fire. The man sleeps on a foam bed, O'Neill said.
"Some people would call him homeless, but he's a clean, well-spoken guy. When I spoke to him, he was reading a novel.
"It's not the Marriott hotel by any means, but this man has made it comfortable down there," O'Neill said.
The man said he has been living in the bunker for about six years.
"He told me it's a peaceful and tranquil place to live," O'Neill said. [AP]

Chill out!!!!
Just for you I put my hands in my back pocket and typed this using my.. nose!!
Under whose land did he build this bunker? How did he do it without being seen? Shouldn’t he be paying someone rent for the use of the land? There is no piece of earth left ownerless in this country any more so I think he is squatting on someone’s property. What does he do for plumbing (bathroom etc.)?

Yes,
“SILENCE IS GOLDEN”.
but ONLY for OTHERS.
YOU on the other hand don’t have to follow your own advice.
why don’t you perk up and get a life. it’s not choidesh Av yet and a little humor doesn’t hurt anybody.
Someone is seriouslly in need of a chill-pill…
IMHO… WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 11:12 YOU ARE ALL A DISGRACE TO ALL OF US WHO REALLY WANT TO READ THE NEWS. IF YOU HAVE NOTHING SMART TO SAY KEEP YOUR HANDS AND FINGERS BACK IN YOUR POCKET (OR OTHERS THAT THEY WERE IN). PUT YOUR MIND INTO GEAR BEFORE YOU PUT YOUR MOUTH INTO MOTION. “SILENCE IS GOLDEN”.
If the school bus doesn’t work out next year, efshar this could be a good eitza for a matzo bakery!
How many shuls do you think we can fit there?
was he getting food stamps and a free membership to costco and BJ’s also??
I hope the fire inspector would just make sure everything is saftey but let him live there..
I think it’s cheaper than living in Boro Park and you do not have to pay taxes. Maybe I will do the same thing!
