This isn't just any bunker. It is a 5 story cold war bunker, with blast doors designed to take a hit from a freaking 20 megaton bomb at 5 km.
The US may have a bunker buster that can open that thing, but it would kill everybody inside, and possibly around it. I am not quite sure that the US bunker busters of that size are non-nuclear either.
Would the US FBI really drop a nuke to serve a warrent? That seems, excessive and counter productive (as you would destroy whatever it was you wanted).
Bunker busters are not nuclear. They use turrets from tanks made of depleted uranium which is unbelievably strong - dropped from altitude to piece just about any underground dwelling and deliver a non-nuclear bomb.
I have no idea how I know or remember this, I must have read it somewhere but I am very anti-war, so why I know it is strange to me.
They don't really need to get into the bunker. I'm assuming said bunker has limited supplies of food, and that it is reliant on the outside world for water, electricity, and network connectivity.
Just yank the network and turn off the water, it'll either be pointless to stay inside, or untenable. Either way gets the door open.
Cyberbunker brags on its Web site that it has been a frequent target of law enforcement because of its “many controversial customers.”
“Dutch authorities and the police have made several attempts to enter the bunker by force,” the site said. “None of these attempts were successful.”
If this happened in the USA - the police would never leave - they'd call in tanks or bunker busters from the military.
Did the Dutch just turn around and go away and say "oh well" ?
