How He Stumbled Upon The US Government's Nuclear Bunkers

- The reality of nuclear combat's devastation was clear as soon as the first atomic weapons were dropped during World War II, leading the U.S. government to develop a "doomsday plan" out of perceived necessity. In the Cold War era, the threat of impending nuclear warfare - and the fear it caused in the American citizenship - escalated even further. Politicians played on this fear, and the government began planning for a potential attack. Testing bombs on mock cities in the Nevada desert - constructed to assess potential damage - was only part of the doomsday strategy.

So happy to hear that Taxes will still be in place for the few left in the aftermath.
You're right, I was worried we wouldn't have a place that would collect our taxes; all of us left after the nuclear war wouldn't know where to send our tax return forms.
My dad worked as a truck driver in the late 40's, early 50's, at a similar "secret" location about sixteen miles south west of there at Fort Ritchie, MD. The only thing he'd ever say about it was the entry road went on for miles once you went underground before you got to the drop zone. Drivers stayed in the truck as it was unloaded and then left immediately. Never saw what they were hauling, never asked.
I can't say where I work or what I do, but I can say we do business with a DoD outfit that is near the so-called "Area 51". About twice a year, our general manager who used to work there, gets orders for product from them that is completely kept under wraps. When the product arrives, it is in unmarked, enclosed wooden pallets. No packing slip or anything on the outside to indicate what's on the inside. The dudes from the DoD who come to pick it up, arrive in an unmarked box van, hand our GM a check, load up and leave. No one here but the GM and the recipients, knows the contents of the pallet boxes.
In the 60's my cousin was a stewardess for TWA. She said she saw Jim Nabors and Rock Hudson get on a plane together, and Rock Hudson was dressed like a woman.
@@danidavis7912who loads the goods into the enclosed wooden pallets?
@@jimdandy8996Both were flamers😮
@@leechjim8023 Yeah, I know
My original guy is back!!!
I only watch the videos because of his voice, topic doesnt matter xD
Just stop with this unoriginal comment... especially after you already said you were unsubscribing on another video of theirs. They have multiple channels and need more than one narrator. Your entitlement is nasty.
@@Zachary3Dguess what. Narrator is better.
Even the voice you know, and love, is NOT the original voice.
Always
West Virginians who were from the area had always known about the Greenbrier. Many of us had family members who built it, we just kept our mouths shut.
Why? You should have insisted they let you all in too.. or else.
Best narrator on CZcams - more videos with him please!!!
I'm just imagining when he discovered the bunker, he looks on his top left side and see random green text appear that says "You Have Discovered: Secret Government Doomsday Bunker"
Have been to Greenbrier it's just down the road from the west Virginia state fair and the locals have been aware of the bunker since it was built
😂 I'd love to see the IRS try and collect taxes if a doomsday scenario played out... The arrogance of our govt is astounding
I wonder who they’re planning on turning into their workforce after something like that, because they damn sure ain’t working shit.
Yeah the whole thing seems to me to just be someplace where the rich and powerful can go to survive, built with our tax money. There isn't going to be a nation to govern if they have to use the bunkers.
Comforting to know at the end of the world, the IRS will survive, if anything, to live up to the saying "death and taxes" 😂😂
How The Fallout Franchise was born
hahaha Right??
War never changes
I think I've uncovered a conspiracy theory.... Weird History only starting using the other guy, so we would appreciate this OG guy even more.
My Father worked for the Treasury Department after the Korean War. Once a month he brought hard copies of documents from Boston to somewhere in the Berkshire Mountains, since it was believed Boston could be targeted. He never said more than that about where or what exactly.
That was called barre mountain in holyoke hadley area its used for library storage now for the collages
Lesson: Never underestimate government incompetence.
Do one on MK Ultra
I second that.
I live very close to the greenbrier. We all knew the bunker was there. We just didn't tell anyone who didn't live here.
Does anyone visit it?
@@btetschner lots of people when it's open.
@@beserkergang Very cool!
I did some filter development for the government. They wanted filters that could filter out nitric acid.
It was for thier bunkers. Never found out why.
Classic video!!! We love you whatever your name is narrator!
It's Hunter Biden
Me during the entire video: "Just post the damn maps!"
Your information on the Greenbrier bunker is all wrong!!! It was decommissioned in 1992 after a Washington Post article was written about it. Why do you say 2010 and Washingtonian magazine? It was known so much earlier.
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/daily/july/25/brier1.htm
It took him until 2010 to find out about the Greenbrier Bunker?
My thoughts exactly! I saw the 20/20 episode. (I haven’t found it online, yet)
OMG! 😮 THE best narrator in the world is back! Be still my ears! 😀💕👂👂
Thank you 😊
Well, this is something. Informative and well done.
I have an Aunt that worked at site R for 30 years. It’s like 2 towns over from me
My dad worked at Site R from 1979 - 1982. He was a Navy commander at the time.
this narrator is just so good at sounding actually interested in the topic and genuine when he cracks jokes even though i know he's just reading a script. i think thats why everyone likes him so much, he's excellent at what he does and i hope yall are paying him well!!
Cheyenne mountain reference with no mention of the Stargate :(
Well done and really informative, great video!
Can you do a history of phrases like “the straw that broke the camel’s back” ,or “right off the bat” or “as easy as pie” for example… where do these weird phrases come from?🤷🏽♂️
Right off the bat obviously comes from baseball: as in slamming a homer!⚾😮
Thanks for this! 🤐
$5 footlong???
Back in the day😂
Yep, I heard that too. Over 20 years ago maybe.
@@deathbycheese850 now you're making me feel old🤣
This is definitely the best short history channel! And there’s lots out there
Raven Rock Fallout 3 Devil of the wastelands baby!
I come for the voice and stay for that weird history.
Great channel!!!!!
My boy is back!! Best narrator on CZcams
I was stationed at Camp David while in the Marines. So this was interesting to watch! I have no comments about what you discussed 😶
Thanks.
I love the old timey music in this video 😁
Anytime I hear Millhouse narrating I'm moving on 😊 I'll stay for the O.G.
The last thing I want is to survive in that aftermath. I mean, things won't get all Fallout or Badlands kinda fun for decades... the hard times are all we'd see.
We cannot allow a mineshaft gap!!!
He’s not been gone for like months or so…the guy has still regularly been doing voiceovers
I really don't care who narrates this channel because I am here for the content. The internet may now explode.
"Dining hall that can serve 4 meals a day"
Now how would you even start to design a bunker with the requirement that the room must be able to serve 4 meals a day :-o Like, is it incapable of serving 3 or 5 meals a day? And what if they were only serving snickers bars, would the dining hall still reject additional meal serving attempts? Amazing engineering for sure.
My dad was an electrician at camp David in the 60s. He wired the President 's toilet phone😅
For 30 years I lived near Mount Pony in Culpeper County, Va. It was a nuclear bunker for the treasury dept, they had a huge stockpile of 2 dollar bills shrink wrapped. Now it stores the audio/video archives of the Smithsonian. They have a theater and show old movies.
He should have made a Stargate reference during the Cheyenne Mountain segment. Missed opportunity.
I read garret graff’s book and it was a fascinating read as well as disturbing.
The cinema masterpiece called Top Secret! was mentioned!!!
WIDESPREAD PANIC!
8:21 Reminds me of the Before Trilogy romance films: Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004), and Before Midnight (2013). (wikipedia).
I graduated the Master's program at the University of Missouri on director Richard Linklater's birthday (July 30th).
You have a master’s degree Ben? Wow!
My Dad worked for the Coast Guard as a Russian linguist (we are not Russian). He went to the South Pole where they also have underground facilities for scientist not to be secretive but due to extreme weather and them having to live there for years at a time. He was indeed surprised to find a Starbucks coffee joint. He loved having a treat like that. His job was to communicate to Russian ice breakers if scientists needed fuel and American ships were too far or locked up in the ice. It actually happened and countries even adversarial countries have a mutual aid response agreement. This was the year the lady scientist was evacuated to get cancer treatment. Normally she would have had to stay 4-5 years after 2 they found cancer so she had to leave.
love this guys voice😊
I don't think I have one. Welp, I'm screwed.
What's that thing @ 6:14 ?
Excellent Work
There was an army badge on the ground and the directions to the secret bunker where written behind it ????
How can I submit a story idea to your channel, privately? This is a story of international significance related to the cold war that I was directly involved in as a very young child.
Nothing? Do your handlers not read the responses?
"...and a Starbucks...probably..." Gold. Sheer gold
You ain't fooling us. SG fans know EXACTLY what's in the Cheyenne Mountain Base
What about Mount Weather?
Please don’t leave us again Mr narrator
No hate to the other narrator 💕he does a nice job. But this guys’s voice is my favorite. It’s so soothing to me idk how to explain.
Greenbriar bunker looks like a part of the backrooms….
I’ve been inside Raven Rock AND Greenbriar! (In Fallout)
Did John Denver have any knowledge of this ?
" Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads"
is this the guy who used to do the History Channel narrator stuff
Vault-Tec calling!
Yeah. I wouldn't have gone into a bunker with Dick Cheney either.
Certainly a beautiful and majestic species indeed.
vault tech has entered the chat
Finland managed to build over 5,000 bunkers to save most of its people (about 4.8 million). And those guys were neighbors with the Soviet Union.
I understand the cost would be too heavy to build bunkers for over 300 million people. But I have doubt the richest country in the world couldn't build enough bunkers for at least a quarter of its people. After all, if you're gonna tax people even after a nuclear apocalypse, you might as well save as many people as possible, right?
Do politicians even pay taxes, is what I'd like to know? lol
When the government was working on the Greenbrier bunker their cover was TV repair men. I wonder if the guests ever lodged complains about how they ran into a repair man who just ignored them.
There had to be SHITLOADS of problems with tv,s to explain that away!!!
The only " bunkers " I am interested in are the seed vaults.
NORAD tracks Santa's progress across the globe.
so that's where the name of enclave in fo3 came from.
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What a fascinating and unique topic and history!
Whoever eats subway anymore? That stuff is disgusting!🤮
OG is baack
Lol. Those aren't exactly hidden.
Discovered in 2010? Isn't that a bit late?
LOL, this is embarrassing. - This information has been available since the 60's. Seems reporters "Find this SECRET" every few years.
I am going to watch the videos:
x What It Was Like to Be In a Presidential Nuclear War Bunker (1st Recommendation)
x Everything The US Government Has Planned For Surviving A Nuclear Attack (2nd recommendation, 2nd time watching)

Yea wow and I’m taking a dump right now. I’ll take a dump tomorrow too hopefully. Isn’t that interesting?!
Whose job was it to choose the wallpaper in the first image? Fired, that’s who.
I support all narrators, especially the new guy. Hey, we all were the "new guy/gal" at least once.
Now that someone planted the seed in my mind that this is now an AI voice emulating the original narrator, it's messing with my mind! LOL!
It sounds to me like the original guy has toned down his style a bit, maybe to not stand out so the new guy would have more of a chance and that's why he sounds different
Do you know who went to Fort Knox during 911?
Where are our bunkers???
I worked on some of these bunkers with my farts
Timeline 2000s??
Val's best movie!
The whole thing is insane. So, the Supreme Court dude gets them to finally allow his wife in, and then he realises that he has kids. So he gets them allowed in. But since he is kinda old himself, that means his kids have wives and kids too. And what about his favourite cousin and his best friend? And the eventually the whole bunch goes underground, and the booms happen and 30 days later (or a couple of years later, whatever) they all emerge and there is but nothing left out there except this really nice ash heap. "Yippeee!" they all shout. "We can now happily live forever after!"
It was a pretty naive idea, anyway.
Not very top secret it seems.
and they wonder why we want their ead-hays served on a atter-play 9_9
HIS NAME IS TOM BLANK SAY HIS NAME!!!
1:12 Benjamin Frankin Grates is the main character of the National Treasure films, awesome treasure-hunting films!
One of my elementary school nicknames was Benjamin Franklin.
Why was that your nickname Ben?
@@sarahkatie7497 One of my nicknames was Benjamin Franklin
I bet you can't guess another one of my nicknames...what type of nickname do you think describes me from your point of view?
@@btetschner hmm. Encyclopedia!
@@sarahkatie7497 I did not have that nickname...but it is good!
What a fun guessing game!
Guess again...
@@btetschner Mr talkative!
Hiding place, home
6:41 Reminds me of our expedition-style trip to camp at the bottom of the Grand Canyon!
I’m not sure why it took Garrett Graff so long to figure this “secret nuclear bunker” stuff out. The Washington Post broke the story of existence of these bunkers in 1992, after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. I watched a 20/20 story on ABC about it. He would have been about twelve at the time, so I guess I could cut him some slack. 😂
I understand how you feel. A couple of years ago I saw a story getting circulated about someone who proposed the idea that the reason for all of the deaths in the Titanic disaster was because those in charge didn't put enough lifeboats onboard. I saw that and thought 'how is this news? there's literally a whole subplot in James Cameron's movie that focuses on it.'
Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal!
Eating POP-TARTS*†...while watching this Weird History video
* From the Weird History video "Facts About 80s Snacks"
† Taylor Swift made homemade Pop-Tarts for the Kansas City Chiefs Offensive Linemen and Pop-Tarts posted that they want her to release the recipe!
Well Pop tarts will last a nuclear blast 😂
