The corrugated steel formed an arch on top, but no measure of bomb-resistance should be expected from that.

How did bomb shelters not get destroyed?
Bomb shelters are structures build of reinforced concrete. The outer walls are usually several meters thick, which makes them really hard to break (that lead to the development of a bunker buster bomb). In addition to that, most bomb shelters are under ground. The combination of all the three measures makes the probability of the personnel survival very high.
