0:45 Before now, whenever I was playing Fallout 76, I used to think to myself "Pshhh, this is so unrealistic. There's no way that there would just be a random microscope sitting around in a nuclear bunker." Lo and behold... There is a random microscope sitting around in a nuclear bunker.
You know, mankind's been trying to kill each other off since the beginning of time. Now, we finally have the power to finish the job. Ain't nothing gonna matter once those nukes start flying; we'll all be dust. And the lawmakers will be the most powerful men on the cinder.
Eggs Ackley Waves and Sand, if people would wake-up and realize they are at OUR mercy, dependent on our tax dollars....shit would fly. But the government has done a great job at sedation, giving colk holsters in Hollowood etc praise.
If a nuke Hit DC then only people in the close proximity would die. There would still be several hundred million Americans left. Using NukeMap 2.0, a 10.5 Megaton Hydrogen bomb called the "Ivy Mike", it is estimated 1 million would die if it detonated inside central DC. There would still be a need for lawmakers.
About five or six years ago I took a tour of this bunker. There were parts of the bunker that we weren't allowed to see. It was an interesting experience.
Exactly, an entire extra floor or maybe more was locked down. They said that CSX bought some of the bunker and has tons of data stored in it. They called it CSXip, doesn’t really add up if you ask me.
@Bill Bergendah - I wouldn't be the least surprised if there are modern tunnels that run below greenbrier ... so that greenbrier could be accessed from below if truly needed. Greenbrier is still a very capable secondary shelter and if nothing else/at the very least, there are still some very useful things that could be scavenged from greenbrier.
They've got a data center spanning a good deal of the bunker, or so we're told. Of course, US service-members in Navy uniform still show up in the Main Dining Room on occasion, so there is still military activity in (or possibly under) the hotel. When the new Casino was being built, they put ventilation in places where ventilation doesn't belong, so it isn't unlikely that the US government has built another Navy listening post underneath the hotel. After Sugar Grove got shut down, they needed a new one, so why not build it around pre-existing infrastructure? In addition, a couple guys found new security cameras on water-intake pipes out on the golf course a while back, so the area is definitely being watched for intrusive activity. Everyone with eyes and at least half a brain-cell can see there's military activity in the hotel. It's simply a matter of figuring out why.
And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” (Revelation 6:15-17)
The book of Revelation would make a great action movie. Hollywood wouldn't touch it, Mel Gibson maybe. With the popularity of iron Man, Thor and the X-Men people are starving for heroes. They don't realize that real ones exist.
Don't kid yourself, "hidden in plain sight" remains in vigor, same as it ever was. The Greenbrier may look dated and quaint but that's just the top end facade(civil war relic). This is a 5star resort with an airport adjacent and on a rail line, not to mention hidden in the pines a brand new "conning tower" air intake. Beneath the airport lies the inspiration for an expanded concept beneath Denver's DIA. Cheers
I think what lawmakers asked to endure. Bruh, at least they will live not like everyone else or die by nuclear fire or slow death radiation sickness lol
I believe this is still the main bunker... I wonder where the lawmakers in the train crash today were really going folks.... very close to the Greenbier
Most likely a massive tunnel system connects some of the old bunkers to the new system...just in case they have to access them for extra space or to scavenge them.
It wasn’t very secret. I saw the bunker in April 1981 when I was there and was told about it and how easy it was to move the very heavy door. I was 14 years old and had a distant relative that worked there.
This was not much of a secret. Many in WV knew of its existence in the 1970's. There are a few such places in our country that are known, but will still be used when, and if needed.
So this was for congress and their families. Meanwhile, JFK and his family had a separate bunker that was basically a death trap in the event of a nuclear blast. Shows how much importance the government put on saving Kennedy.
Is it possible they developed a newer bomb that can penetrate further down into the ground so they built a bunker underneath this bunker in the video. It would do way less damage by having another bunker on top to absorb a good bit of the blow and radiation.
Hilarious: 'What the lawmakers are asked to endure'. Oh yeah, it would be terrible to be sprayed with water as opposed to being a crisp critter or radiated on the outside. What a stupid and insulting thing to say.
Seeing as there ARE video of the inside of the bunker. Its sad to say, that its visitors (that pays to get in) wont be able to get away with pictures/vid of this place, as its been forbidden to take any during the visit. This message is from listening to another youtube who were at the site not too long ago (few days/a week ish). Their reason is "a part of the location has been taken in use as data storage. And wouldnt want any electric devices ect, to mess with their equipment)
That tunnel is creepy. Not near as creepy as all the fleshless radiation mutants walking around outside that tunnel will be. Kind of makes me sick to think billions are spent to protect the people who couldnt keep armageddon from taking place. When you're eyes are melting out from the blast they'll be enduring coffee without sugar and a lumpy mattress.
Not at all. The entire public was aware of the construction, but it was disguised as another area of the hotel. Hell, it was even open to the public. People literally were walking around inside the bunker without even knowing that it was a bunker. It was right there under their noses.
ROGO That's true. They used so much concrete that it was obviously something orher than advertised. Still, it was classified and people then knew enough to keep their mouth shut.
Actually wouldn't be the least surprised if all recent/modern bunkers were connected (and strictly accessed) via a complex system of deep underground long-distance tunnels. Oh and re top-secret construction projects... it's actually fairly common to use ultra-strict disclosure agreements and/or use multiple (dozens) of building contractors to build separate stages of a top-secret structure... which keeps contractors (and their employees) from seeing all the blueprints and also keeps one contractor and their employees from seeing an entire project completed start to finish.
My dad told me in the 80s about him working on the project as an electrician when he worked for GE back in the 50s.I'll bet it was a very lucrative contract for GE.
What a waste of money, why does it haft to be decommissioned just because its not a secret, when the new bunker gets exposed, will they decommission that one to? I hope this place isn't a total lose and they let in the public in the event of something bad happening
'It's most important to identify the non human humans we cant talk to early enough and keep them enemies - because ... ' ('... of the at least hundred and one reasons the enemy provides us with'.)
The pure irony of a nuclear bunker made for congress is that many won't survive long enough to make it to the installation, meaning there won't be enough congressmen to have a quorum, so no legislation would ever get a vote. 😅
I went through that bunker like 25 years ago when I was 10-12 years old. That was not “radioactive decontamination” at the beginning it was Delousing. In short that place could not populate a fraction of the house and senate.(not including their family) Ps edit. It definitely got a face lift since I visited. Their communication center was an empty room with lots of drop ceiling panels missing and Cat 5 cable strung all over the place and I believe they said the equipment was salvaged and I thought, “for what?” It’s 30+ years old🤔 In truth I think it was a bomb shelter for rich people. From what I remember I don’t think it could have sustained 100 people for more than a month. It has been a loooong time, so maybe I remember wrong.
There way to the bunker than what most ppl see. Also u got to remember we did not have as many house seats 40+ years ago bc country was way smaller back then. But trust me there is a lot more to that place than even the tour tells!!
Predictable for politicians to ensure their own safety before all else. This place may be obsolete (and the hotel itself looks dated and tacky on the inside anyway) but the dirty politicians still have Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center, Virginia (FEMA). Homeland Security controls 22 government agencies (including US Customs, Federal Protective Service, Coast Guard, Secret Service and FEMA), which makes them the third largest government agency behind the Military and Veterans Affairs. Homeland Security has way too much power and they answer to no one. And when Gen. Kelly ran it, his speech sounded more fascist than any one of trumps.
