A teen who fell inside the silo was seriously injured but eventually rescued from the silo complex near the town of Deer Trail, about 50 miles east of Denver.
This is what teenagers do. I think this is typically boy behavior as I and most my friends did similar things as a teenager. There must be some psychological urge to explore that is ingrained into our brains. This might also explain why video games are so intriguing, the exploration aspect. It's good to see teenagers out exploring instead of staring at a screen.
@@meetmehalfway7982probably typed u but it got autotyped to I, why are you so stupid that you couldn’t discern that? Are you a voter I really hope not, cause you lack basic deductive reasoning. And I mean in elementary school basic English level, I care not for grammer punctuations and spelling like losers on Reddit do, as it doesn’t do anything to showcase iq, but what you say does.
I've been in one. They really are incredible structures, but use caution. Scrappage has left missing guardrails, open elevator shafts, sharp metal, asbestos, missing floor panels, and nasty water.
I snuck in that silo too with a bunch of friends when I was a teenager. 1000s of teenagers have its like a right of passage. Too bad one slip up is going to ruin it for everyone.
@@meetmehalfway7982 You can disagree with me all you want, but the fact of the matter is that they (the family of the kids) do pay for the services used in this rescue with their taxes.
@@Autofleet4429Taxes don't cover expenses like this. Plus, when you take away the price tag from public view, it only encourages people to be wasteful. I recognize that kids don't always listen even to good parents, but parents need to be held accountable when kids do things this dumb. Otherwise, it's likely that they will let him do something stupid again.
Guaranteed he's got an "abandoned exploration" channel. I think if you find someone like this with a camera doing this for social media, you should leave them.
We did crap like this when I was a teen back in the sixties and seventies and we didn't need any outside motivation other than being inquisitive teens. This is nothing new at all.
Why aren’t these places STILL fenced off with Constantine wire and No Trespassing signs. I know you’re gonna say kids will climb fences, but these places are wide open.
@@RealMTBAddict Just keep away from 12" holes that don't belong to you! Maybe the owner wants to preserve the site. I hope the kids learned a lesson, but they'll probably forget it in short order and end up winning early Darwin awards.
When those missiles were "pulled".... why were those sites not imploded??!! There would be no more silos nor tunnels and the danger gone... Just the fence and memories of a bygone era.
There was no reason to. These Titan 1 site pre-date the SALT treaty, so they weren't required to be destroyed. They were sold at GSA sales or deeded back to original landowners. Almost all were scrapped to some degree, which makes exploring them dangerous if you don't exercise good judgment.
Many have had some form of remediation, such as plugging wells and filling the diesel tanks with grout, but due to the sheer scale of these sites, it's way more cost effective to seal them than demolish them. A company tried to demo one in South Dakota. They never finished. Tough structures.
@@Chad-Giga. Way to costly to refurbish these kind of sites. There is a lot that goes on into one of these sites as they are massive in size so its cheaper to just seal them up and never look back. You can find videos and pictures on how big these things can be. Here is a video from 8 years ago on this site ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pevTGVgK6A8.html

Dude, there's thousands of abandoned missile silos in Colorado and other places. I don't know about buying them, but I know people have bought them before, and renovated them into awesome spaces. An acid chemist bought one and made a lab in one. The only down side to living there is they're all probably targets in case of nuclear war. Then again, in case of nuclear war, Colorado will be gone anyway.
not all the teens were trapped inside, only the one who fell and two of the friends who stayed with him until help arrived. everyone else evacuated and called for help outside.
@@RecycleddVidss so even though the one fell 30 feet, two were able to maneuver 30 feet to get to him? I’m glad two stayed with him. Those are some true friends. Being a mile in the tunnel.
@@ritaturner9906 I know! It is a miracle that they were able to get themselves down there to them. Who knows what the outcome could have been if they hadn’t.
Might have been the Chico site in the early 90s. There was a college student that fell down an open shaft in one of the equipment terminals and into the water. Friends CPRed her until firefighters got there.
You never know when going down on top of the patient you might make something fall down and injure them further. The condition of the sides of the shafts might be unstable and risk the rescuers ending up needing rescue as well. Think of possible risks like bad air (not enough oxygen left in the hole), lighting needs, etc as well. Also you have to think of how much equipment is needed to rescue the patient and how many rescuers are needed to move someone in a stretcher who is basically dead weight (meaning that they can't help you get themselves out). Stretcher, first aid kit, oxygen bottle, splints, and anything else you might need all weigh more than one person can carry. If the sides of the shafts are unstable you can't simply lower a rescuer and all the equipment. You also have to factor in the time it takes to assemble the team and equipment and get them to the patient versus how bad the injuries could be, how long they have been laying down not moving much, what they landed on at the bottom.... The rescuers would have done a risk assessment and made a plan for worse case scenario, tried to think of everything that might go wrong and try to eliminate, mitigate and manage the risks. Each job has slightly different risks even if they are basically rescuing someone from a deep hole. Blessings from South Eastern Australia, Dot
@@AnnaAnnieAnneofGreenGablesFair enough. The tunnels are the only way to access the silo where the boy fell. There is no surface access to the propellant and equipment silos and the massive 400 ton missile silo doors were permanently closed decades ago.
No sympathy for these Idiots who commit crimes and then expect law enforcement to come save them 😠 That kid and his friends need to pay for ALL the time and equipment that was used to rescue him 😠
I miss being a kid. Getting lost with my brothers in the hills catching rattle snakes. Are little brothers will follow us in diapers. And we would send them home and somehow we always made it go
@@mostlyends @chart461 Trespassing, because signs were posted that would lead any reasonable person to believe they would be trespassing; however, will anyone press the charges, I don't know.
They should have gave him a chalkboard and made him write a thousand times I promise not to go into an abandoned missile silo anymore before they got him out
It was decommissioned in 1965. The safety of meddling kids was far from anybodys' minds. It was more cost effective for the government to auction them off to private owners and local governmments with repurposing potential than to spend money on demolition. There was a contractor who started demolishing one in Sturgis for steel scrap. Appears they gave up mid way through. These are meant to survive a nuclear blast, so they are built solid.
I was expecting to see the rescue but yeah this bunch of meetings did the job!!!!🫢🔴🤫but I wonder why not a give a better use to those places, so many veterans without a home !!!sad !!,🫢🔴🤫
