Take a journey into a missile silo

Journey into a Titan I Missle Silo

Titan I ICBMs were an important weapon in the United States' arsenal during the Cold War. These missiles could be delivered to certain targets at a moment notice and travel quite far.

Masks had to be worn to shield against asbestos.

The main entrance to the facility. Graffiti covers much of the walls.

Tunnel leading into the facility.

Main chamber that was entered from the tunnel.

Many of the walkways were dilapidated for the most part. Many were missing segments of grates.

Descending further into the silo. The entire facility was pitch dark.

Some machines, likely to absorb shock to protect the facility.

This dark figure was found in some areas of the silo. Creepy.

Same figure, but different from the others in that its eyes glowed. It was painted with fluorescent paint.

More creepy graffiti. This is deep in the facility.

Much of the silo was flooded. One misstep and you could find yourself deep in contaminated waters.

A raft found in the facility. Seems someone was trying to travel through the water.

Not much to be said...

Deeper into the silo, a bunker was found. There was a hallway that once held many vault like doors that one had to pass through to gain entry.

One of the vault doors.

Another hallway.

Another vault door hallway.

This part of the facility was in worse condition than the earlier areas.

A stench filled the air that made it hard to breathe.

Spooky.

Some areas of the bunker were inaccessible due to flooding.

Some rubble blocking a doorway.

The largest room in the entire bunker area of the facility.

A large machine. Purpose unknown.

Seems a man or woman forgot their gloves.

Their shoes, too.

A mysterious open hatch. There was nothing but an abyss below.

Some cavern formation.

There was an exit to be found out of the facility.

The exit.

These are the silo doors that were never opened, thankfully. Should a missile have been fired, these doors would be the last clearance point that missile would have needed to gain entry to the skies.
