I know you put this together quite a few years ago. Somehow through KZbin's algorithms it showed up on my home page. I worked there in the heyday, through the '80's & early '90's. It's but a shadow of its former self. Outstanding place to work and I never planned on leaving. Loved what I did, and we knew we were part of our nation's security. T-Bldg was just a small part of the Mound. The original museum was put together by former employees and now is part of the larger Dayton History organization. If you haven't been to the Mound Cold War Discovery Center, you need to go. There's also a section within Carillon Historical Park that features work done at the Mound. Very proud to be a former employee of the Mound.

What was the place like? I was just a little kid when the feds were cleaning everything up and I can’t really remember a time where it wasn’t Mound Business Park. They taught us a little about it in school, not so much about the work done there but more focused on all the pollution. All I really know is it was used for the manhattan project and that a bunch of radioactive material leaked out and made some workers sick.

@@SlothBalls It was a great place to work. I'm glad they at least acknowledged it and the Mounds importance not only to national security, but to Miamisburg's and the greater Dayton community. Anything you were taught about "the Mound being a polluter" was just from uninformed or hearsay type sources. They wouldn't know what went on behind the razor wire unless they had the appropriate security clearance and had access. You know how rumors like to start. I loved what I did there. You had to be pretty pristine to get hired because of security clearance requirements. I was hired at 19 years old; clearance came in just after turning 20 and I stayed until the closure. I couldn't make it to retirement age by hanging around for the cleanup and final closure, so I left. Outstanding experience and am still very proud of the work we did to help keep our nation safe. I'm glad you got to see a small part of a great place.

First Mound Labs came after wwII, the first part was done at an old Dayton seminary. I know that from my own family history.
@KarsenKeith11 ай бұрын
The story with the seminary is "cool" because by the time they were done with the building, which was contaminated, they returned it to the school system for a new school to move in. I imagine the health issues were plentiful. Up in Marion, an identical facility to the Mound Site (before the massive expansions) was built in case they needed to move in an emergency. After it closed, they then comically moved a new school there as well. It was then emergency abandoned during the middle of a school year because a study correlated the uptick in graduates with cancer to the site. Those buildings still stand eerily.

Thats my hometown. Its a great place to live. Outside the hustle and bustle of life in the cities or suburbs that surround them. But close enough to everything you could want. Its very low key. Population has remained about the same since the 60s. Some people who were born there and move, come back to raise their kids there. Because small town life is the best.

I use to work in that building (T Building). That building use to have multiple sets of blast doors on each end of the tunnel. The typical access was by elevators, at each end of the underground working floor levels, with guard posts at the top. It was also a fallout shelter. The racks overhead in the tunnel were used to store food/supplies and the area you went into, where the wall was cut with a diamond rope, use to be a potable water storage tank before being repurposed into laboratory space.

This act was perpetrated by the Pennsylvania and Virginia militias. It wasn't at the behest of the federal government (in this case). The location is in Ohio, so I'm not sure what could be done for reparations at this point. Hopefully we can learn from this and help prevent such a thing from ever happening again.
@alwaysfourfun16712 жыл бұрын
@@MikeDoesHistory Thank you for adding to the picture. I can assure you, we will not learn from this. What can be learned, was already well known to the militias, because it was in their scriptures. They just did not consider other humans as human. They wanted to control and reap the virtues of the land. Very sinful. The distinction between "federal" and "state" was not very important to the native people, wherever, when they were murdered.
