Bruce Beach had always planned to be around for the end of the world, because he was going to start the new one from the safety of his sprawling underground bunker.The wispy-bearded inventor spent half of his life preparing to be a post-apocalyptic Noah from his home in Horning’s Mills, a tiny community outside Orangeville, Ont.He buried 42 school buses in the 1980s and linked them together into the world’s largest private fallout shelter, the Ark Two.
Then he recruited friends, family and fellow survivalists to his cause, assembled plans for restarting society after the nukes hit and began developing a universal language that would supposedly unite humanity through a common tongue.He did all this under the assumption that the world would.
