Outside Communication
Beach knows that people will voluntarily enter Ark Two to seek asylum but he is also aware of the fact that there is a need to constantly know what is happening in the outside world. If Bruce plans on staying in the bunker together with five hundred other people, he believes that knowing what is happening above ground is a must. So what he did was to install lines and improvised radio communication systems that will allow FM and AM stations to be broadcasted to everyone in the bunker. The radio communication system can catch all of the stations in America and Canada. Why does it need to reach a lot of people?
Bracing For The Apocalypse
Have you heard of “preppers”? Bruce Beach happens to be one. Preppers are people who think that the apocalypse will eventually happen, which is why they prepare for it. Many of these people create bunkers and prepare bags that they can easily bring with them in case it happens. Although some people do it because of their religious beliefs, others do it because of the ancient prophecies foreseeing doom. On the other hand, some use artifacts as their source or reference including the Ancient Mayan Calendar which showed 2012 to be the end of one cycle. More than fifty years ago, Bruce Beach left the United States to build Ark Two. However, his reason for building one is different from other “preppers”.
