Spending The Night In An Abandoned TITAN I Nuclear Missile Silo

Hidden in a remote field in Deer Trail, Colorado lies a marvelous piece of history. In the year 1960, during the cold war, the United States contracted the Martin Company to construct the first sets Titan I ICBM base. At their peak, 54 of these $44.5 million apiece silos were operational at one time. They contained Nuclear warheads that were capable of accurately hitting a target over 5,000 nautical miles away in just 33 minutes at 18,030 MPH. A typical silo configuration consisted of 3 launchers, a powerhouse, a control center, antenna control, and air intake/exhaust facilities, complete with their own water and power supplies. Each silo is 44 feet in diameter and 160 feet deep. The walls ranged from 2 to 3 feet thick, giving them the appropriate title of "super-hardened" bases. The rockets themselves were over 100 feet tall and were lifted out of the silo, exposing them briefly before launch. Before this could be done though, the crew would have to prepare for 15 minutes, most of the time waiting for the fuel to fill from the external storage tanks. This would later be optimized in the TITAN II ICBM's by keeping the propellant stored in the rocket itself. The propellant used was liquid oxygen/kerosene. Throughout the history of the TITAN I ICBM's, they build around 160 rockets. There were a total of 70 launches, with a success rate of only 75.71% Come check out what remains of site 724B after 55 years of decay Noteworthy Information: Everything in this video has been verified to be accurate in accordance to the original design documents At 3AM we actually ran into another group of explorers. Scared us half to death. They were nice enough but didn't stick around very long We actually had to return to this location 3 times on this trip to obtain all the footage. The owners are known to call the police, so be careful The entrance we took was not the original. The giant diesel tank you see at the beginning was dug up many years ago and the original entrance has been sealed The last thing to operate in this place was the elevator, which was used an estimated 20 years ago to haul the last salvageable equipment out Silo No 2 seems to be inaccessible due to flooding. One day I hope to go back here more prepared to see if I can get the rest on film, though I suspect it will look the same as the others For light, I brought a full-sized car battery and stuffed it in my backpack with an inverter and work light. Inconvenient, but effective If you decide to explore a similar place, please be safe. This place in particular is incredibly dangerous. Between tendinous and the huge sudden drops, something really bad could potentially happen. I actually knocked my head against a hose right next to a 40-foot drop, so watch yourself. This video took a lot of time and effort to make. A lot of them I found online really didn't do it justice. I genuinely hope you enjoy it and learn something. if you'd like to see more, consider subscribing. Thanks!
