      That seems to have been the theme of 2018 on YT, instead of those shitty badly researched videos, narrated by kids who obviously have English as a 2nd language, Amazing and Richest I'm looking at you, there seem to have been an explosion recently of factual videos done by English folk with posh accents obviously raised on the BBC and Ch4 documentary output doing really good well researched stuff, and who know the importance of pronouncing words correctly, I mean that The Richest channel has millions of views and it's fucking appalling, they mispronounce even the simplest of common words.

      I think he probably included it because it was designed to be remote and, although it's relatively close to civilization compared to other things on this list, it's still fairly far away that it's no longer under threat of direct bombardment, and the vault itself is built to withstand virtually anything that doesn't directly damage it.
