Shipping Container As An Underground Shelter

Final attempt to record building of an underground shelter using a 20 ft. shipping container. For those wondering why I didn't simply pile dirt over it without pouring a concrete cap first..... These containers are mostly sheet metal. Heavy duty as it is, the roof and sides will push inwards from the weight. Eventually the metal will rust through and you'll be buried alive. My way will insure it is still there a few hundred years from now. Problem is, you'd better keep an eye on your sump pump. If it goes bad or loses power, you'll go in one day and find it the whole thing flooded. A surface alarm letting you know the water level is above where it should be isn't a bad idea. Putting the sump pump on a UPS is also a good thing.

It' would be a great place to grow weed.

Nonsense! Can there be too much government regulations? Sure. But saying its fine without any is just ignorance.

Travel to a nation with little or no government regulations and see how well that works. Safety costs money, so many people skip it if they can, especially corporations.

What if I build a house that barely stands to save money, or simply because I'm an idiot, and then one day it falls on top of your house. Cool, right?

Most regulations are there for a very good reason.

What is keeping the container from collapsing under the weight of all that earth? These are very stable with force directly "down" on them from above... however, from what I've seen not very strong at all on the sides.

The point is to be underground. If you don't understand why, pull your bottom lip over your head and swallow.
