H1.
                Picture this: It’s December 22nd and the apocalypse did come, not as a result of natural disasters or asteroids, but because of a virus that turned the previously living into the undead. All most overnight most of the world’s population had turned into rabid zombies, what would be the safest place to go to?
                A lot of people think that if the zombie apocalypse ever were to happen, the safest place to go would be to the nearest mall. It makes sense. There are plenty of supplies at the mall. Food, water, clothing and possibly weapons can be found, but that is as much a liability as it is an asset. In the event of a crisis such as this, looting will be rampant because people would be willing to do whatever it takes to keep themselves and their families safe. The mall would be one of the first targets. This could be very dangerous to anyone inside of the mall. Another flaw is that there are too many entrances to the building. If the doors are not barricaded properly, zombies or attackers will easily infiltrate the mall. Lastly, it would be easy to become trapped in the mall. Over time supplies will dwindle and you will be forced to leave, but this may not be possible. It is entirely possible that a large hoard of the living dead will be waiting on the outside of the mall. This would make it nearly impossible for any supplies or people to enter or exit.
                If I was in that scenario I would try to find an abandoned airport. The airport is similar to the mall because it has essential supplies like food, water and medical equipment, but for many reasons it is a better option. First, it offers more protection. Most airports are surrounded by high fences that will be useful in keeping out zombies. Also there is a ton of fuel that could last for months. Lastly there are many vehicles that will greatly help you if the airport gets overrun or drained of resources. That is why if the zombies ever come, you will find me at an airport.
