"6 Most Secured Places In The World" by ayogabriel(m): 10:22am On Apr 14, 2015 |
Governments, banks, corporations, criminals, wealthy individuals and rogue political groups all have a need to protect valuable goods or information. When it comes to protecting what’s close to them, I thought the pentagon and the white house will make the list, I bet you will be disappointed just like me. These organisations spare no expense on building the most robust vaults. This list features extreme locations, bomb proof doors, guards with marksmanship training and metre thick steel reinforced concrete walls. To all the would be bank robbers amongst us, good luck. 1. The Fort Knox Fort Knox aka The US Bullion Depository is one most highly secured vaults in existence. The fort is home to thousands of tons of gold and historic items such as the US Declaration of Independence. Despite the heavily guarded and fortified facility the real star is the gold vault underneath the building. Guarded by a 22 ton blast proof door and a secret code that is divided by ten people. 2 Federa Reserve Bank of New York. The Federal Reserve Bank in New York holds around 25% of the world’s gold, the bank is so large it takes over an entire city block. As you can imagine with so much at stake security is extremely tight. The vault is located eighty feet below street level and about fifty feet below sea level. If you want a crack at it you’ll first have to get past the patrolling armed officers with marksmanship training. 3. Doomsday seed Vault The Doomsday Seed Vault has been designed not to store gold or money but instead holds a wide variety of plant seeds. The idea is that in the event of a natural or man made disaster humanity can preserve crop diversity and always generate a source of food no matter what happens. To try and increase the chances of survival the compound is located in one of the remotest places on the planet – a desolate rock island in the Arctic Circle, with the vault is situated inside an old copper mine. On top of the remote location the seed safe is armed with with blast-proof doors, motion sensors, airlocks, and one meter thick steel reinforced concrete walls. If you ask me this is a brilliant idea. 4 .Pionen Vault The Pionen Bunker is home to WikiLeaks, the famous whistle-blower news agency founded by Julian Assange. The bunker is housed in a former civil defence center in White Mountain in Stockholm. The bunker is only accessible by one tunnel and capable of withstanding a hydrogen bomb. 5. Antwep Antwerp, Belgium is home to one of the most impressive diamond vaults in the world. The vault was built in a collaboration between 1500 diamond merchants and is fitted with state of the art technology. Heat detectors, magnetic fields, a 3 ton door and lock with 100 million possible combinations are just some of the defence systems in place. Despite these extreme security measures, thieves somehow broke in and stole $100 million worth of diamonds in 2003. They set off no alarms and the break in was not discovered until the next morning when officials arrived at the Diamond Center. 6. The bank of England Vault The Bank Of England Gold Vault holds more than 4,600 tons of gold within bombproof walls. The vault doors can only be accessed with voice recognition and other complex security features. The vaults wall were considered so secure that the banks staff sheltered from bombs in this vault during World War II.
