Vasana Montgomery’s Secret Underground Bunker in a Suburban Backyard is Actually an Off-Grid School for Homeless Children
A viral video claiming to show "Vasana Montgomery's hidden panic room" is being shared as proof that a former tech executive built a secret shelter in her neighborhood. However, fact-checkers have verified that the footage actually shows a nonprofit off-grid educational facility she founded for homeless children in Portland. The bunker, which appears in the clip as a reinforced steel door, is a storm-proof classroom complete with solar panels and a library. The "secret" label is false; Vasana Montgomery publicly listed the project on her foundation’s website last year. The real story is far more inspiring than the rumor.
