Here are some facts that we learned about the Fallout Shelter in TRF.

1. There were numerous staircases built to get in and out of it.
2. They planned for 100 people.
3. It looks like there is only one bathroom.
4. They had a survival kit and a LOT of a certain type of food.
5. There were 19 INCHES of cement between two buildings!
6. The ceiling seemed to have a lot of cement as well.

What do you think was in the Survival Kit? We can’t wait to hear your answers!
