Man develops own apocalypse-survival device

A man in China has spent thousands creating a survival device to save him when the world ends.

Liu Qiyuan has devised a $48,000 pod to survive after December 21 - the date some believe the Mayan calendar, and therefore the world, will end - and he claims someone could live in the equipment for up to four months at the North or South Pole "without freezing, or even feeling slightly cold".
