I think HDB should follow the condo designs which is to remove bomb shelters from individual units and put it at the staircase instead. It is better because it is bigger and you can descend without SCDF assistance
On top of household shelter and storey shelter, there's also staircase shelter where basically the staircase doubles up as a storey shelter. Personally I think this is the most efficient design. Not only does it protect the people inside, it also protects the staircase which will then allow people to descend to the ground floor on their own without requiring SCDF intervention.
True xial bro haha boleh lahhh
This is good for people with mobility challenge.
But Stairways Bomb Shelter is the best effective design. Reduces the need to get help from rescuers.
Coz in war, not all rescuers can reach all those who need them immediately. Thus, it saves a lot of people too
Sorry, in war you wait for rescuers you died. Any mass casualty event by itself will tax emergency services, and war is a series of mass casualty events. A big fire or whatever is big news in peacetime but routine in wartime.
I always wondered , if lets say a 50 floor hdb gets bombed. It'll be quite funny to see one solid column remaining standing LOL. And the guy on the top floor will have a HECK of a view when he opens the door. Whereas the lower floor people... I doubt they'd be able to open the door.
Nevertheless , it still helps to isolate where people are.
Thats what I imagine too, I feel like its impractical for heavy bombing. Maybe protects against shelling and shrapnels.
Easier for rescue. Haha.
SCDF got those new Fire Engines with very long ladders~
Easier to collect dead body
Those HDB and SCDF officers who implemented these stupid idea, were idiots with small brain.
Imagine sg getting bomb and u run to the nearest mama shop/tuition centre to take cover but...... it's locked 😂
But got MRT station (assuming you live near one) that you can hide lol
@@kohwenxu Only if the MRT station is an UNDERGROUND one, or has an underground section like those older NS(red) or EW(green) lines that got revamped as interchange stations with newer lines(Circle, Downtown, etc), then they are viable bomb shelters. So for those older NS or EW lines that do not have an underground section, those wouldn't serve as bomb shelters.
@@littlebluedolphin Yes
@@littlebluedolphin NSL and EWL are parttialy underground
@@jieyuenlee1758 NS line has SELECTED underground stations. And there's no ESL.
It’s good to see the preparedness however I hope we NEVER have to use them for it’s intended purpose.
Great info, Thanks. Been wondering how the bomb shelter actually protects us. Yup will do spring cleaning soon..😅
If it were me, I'd use it as a pantry and container storage. Got food to eat and containers to pangsai in while I wait to be rescued hahaha
Yes but no ventilation hahaha
No running water or power point hahaha
@@jessicaregina1956 In the video it said there is power point though. I dont know anything because i live in older flat
There’s one thing I want to know: what protection is there against radiation if you get 150Kt on Jurong docks or Changi Airport?
If someone drops a 150kt bomb anywhere near you, I think radiation protection will be your least concern
I was watching a video where a missile strike on Ukraine apartment last year and it got me thinking if HDB can even collapse with the shelter or not or even stacked up because you can't go anywhere if your surroundings is gone.
How about earthquakes? Should we run into the shelter as well when there’s an earthquake? What magnitude can they withstand?
Since when SG got earthquake haha
Wahhh power lahhh…Very INFORMATIVE & CONCISE ah xial haha 😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Is it safe during fire though?
Really safe.
Not every home have bomb shelter!
Keyword: "Psychological". To give NSMen psychological assurance. So not real assurance? lol
Better to make fire shelter than bomb shelter. Atleast in case of fire , can go in there and not die
my teacher show me this during ftgp lmao
Bomb shelters also come in handy during zombie apocalypse
In America you go under the table 😅
No, in America they have actual basements or bunkers under their garden, sometimes whole bunker complexes
Bomb shelters at home - how are occupiers able to escape thereafter for high floors flats ?
Think bomb shelters at stairways better .
BASE jumping.
Young boy, I don’t think you will be running to seek shelter during an emergency. You will need to fight at the frontlines as part of our defence force 😂
I don’t have a bomb shelter
How many actually left their bomb shelter empty? 🤔
Almost everyone in peace time use as store room, la.
When got emergency just throw everything outside and quickly prepare the room, lor.
Zero percent?
old hdb no have...mine dont have
The one I'm staying in don't have!
Old HDB don’t have
One supersonic missile and the whole block will be gone. Nothing can survive.
Nuclear bomb is enough to wipe out whole country
Made with Minecraft bedrock.
"bomb shelter"
Only bombs not nbc attack 🤣
i didnt even know there's a bomb shelter in my apartment. isn't it just store room?
My bomb shelter jus downstair
House dont have,how?????😢
Complain to mp.
If ur hous dont have means it is very old and it should have a big one somewhere in the void deck under every block of not than I have no idea
🤣 why don't u go to the void deck of most blocks and search for it!!!!!
Slightly newer blocks have these shelters which are being used as businesses, but all of these are a joke because they may be able to fit 100 people at best. Each block holds more than a hundred people 🤣
Based on the latest google results for sg population, each shelter needs to hold upwards of 5 thousand people!
NOT true.
Not every home in Singapore has a bomb shelter! Those HDB flats built before late 1990s do not come equipped with a bomb shelter.
Why is Mothership always MISinforming viewers with sweeping statements?!?!?!????
Sounds like finding bomb shelters in South Korea in Seoul.
Where to pee
With our HDB now made of prefab units unlike the yesteryears of really solid wall concrete, you really think our HDB won't collapse when a bomb hits? I would really like to see wong kan seng live in one. Oh wait he doesn't live in a HDB
These bomb shelter mama shop will be negan-ed very fast when SHTF.....
Condo don’t have sia 💀
It's "private" what.
Government cannot enforce what's "private property".
@@Raul_Menendez there is, its at staircase
@AnonymousMan Isit?
Haha, don't know bout' this cuz never stayed in Condo. lel
@@Raul_Menendez some units have the bomb shelter in the unit (mainly larger ones), smaller units dont have
@@anonymousman9824 I see~
Bomb shelter also act to make collection of dead bodies easier.
Not every home has a bomb shelter. This title is wrong. 36yo tampines hdb doesn't have a bomb shelter
Ayo, afraid of who? Malaysia ah?
Malaysia and Indonesia
@@linzixuan29 NO Its Not
