I’ve been on KZbin since 2006 and this is by far one of the coolest channels I’ve ever found. Love how you take us to random places and show us something historical about it.

[@gmdhargreaves]

At 8:05 what does that woman say?? We’re you alone, was it a ghost or the wind!? Does She say “we’ve all been looking for you” or “we WILL be looking for you”?? mind blown

[@JohnRohoboth]

my favorite YT channel! No ANNOYING intros, logos, ads, dopey music, etc. THANK YOU.

[@64maxpower]

I agree with you

[@577buttfan]

straight to the point no BS.

[@notanindianscammer7594]

Unlike you I actually enjoy all the intros and logos, a lot of editing goes into those type of videos.

[@Fcreceptor]

Dopey music lol. Some of the editing on KZbin channels can be good or terrible. The music is often annoying more than anything. Intro or outro music is ok but I hate when it’s in the background the whole time

[@nedludd7622]

​@@notanindianscammer7594 A lot of editing does not mean that it is good. Most of what I see is just a mish-mash. But I guess it is just a learning experience for young beginners. That is trying to find a positive side.

[@mrdave777]

No one asked my opinion. But love your work with Lamont. Thanks

I live just 5 minutes from here and always thought it would be the perfect place for you to check out, loved exploring those same bunkers. So amazing to see your coverage of it, thank you 📖

@@MobileInstinct hey man, after re-watching your Johnstown Flood video for the umpteenth time, that actually got me interested enough to actually take the trip out there for myself, which i'll be doing next Wednesday. which works out for me somewhat, as a friend of mine lives out that way and promised to show me around (that's if I can actually try to get in contact with him before my actual train ride out there

[@nickcef]

What's amazing is that those old WW2 bunkers extend down the entire coastline all the way to Cape May. Many of them are still intact.

[@pmccoy8924]

Yes. Fort Miles 223 across the Bay into Delaware. Once they got that far they knew they were good being so close to Norfolk they could take care of themselves.

[@keithreiffenstein9909]

I was hoping that you would take us to that beach!

[@bluedsteel1963]

That big pit at 15:00 was a mortar pit. There would be four mortar cannons, each one in the middle of those rings where they would rotate. Purpose was to hit the deck of a ship which would have the least armor.

[@tmajcan94]

You always explore the coolest places. One of the biggest reasons I love your channel! I wouldn't know about these places existing if it wasn't for you. I just want to say thank you so much. Safe travels and look forward to the next adventure. 🙂

That's so interesting. The military has used Sandy Hook since the 1800's but I had no idea of the scope of the bunker systems. We were in Oahu on vacation and we went on a tour of the gun emplacements above Waikiki. Neat !

[@rossincognito273]

Awesome video as always

[@Lokisqueen22]

There are similar bunkers along the English coast. My mother grew up near Newcastle Upon Tyne, and after the war, those bunkers were converted into shops, restroom facilities, and picnic shelters. The same could be done with these bunkers you're investigating.

[@johnmason5574]

Love the video, thanks for taking me there. Love the comment about hitting the beach.

[@neilparry9511]

Thanks for sharing - I live near Cape Henlopen State Park across the bay in Delaware. There is one of these bunkers completely restored, gun and all, and an attached museum here at the old Fort Miles. It's awesome. Also some cool stuff in the woods, if you know where to look ; )

Great video, had no idea these existed.

[@BuffHamstah]

I grew up there. there is an additional bunker near Henry Hudson High School. Battery Kingman and Battery Hill were constructed in 1941 not 1917. The bunkers further out on Sandy Hook were constructed during the first world war and earlier. I also explored the Nike missile sites before they were filled in by the Parks and Recreation. This was in 1974.

Hope you got to check out Twin Lights, the lighthouse in Highlands. Trivia tip: the architect was a chess freak so he made one a queen & the other a king.

Those 2 batteries are so much fun to explore. Haven’t been there in a few years. They stay very cool in the summer and they are spooky!

[@MobileInstinct]

It was amazing in there

[@Drforrester31]

We've got batteries like this on the California coast too, they're super cool. But they're definitely an attraction as they're right along numerous hiking trails, at least north of San Francisco. Last time I was in one the gun emplacement was dug out and was basically a big pond, and had lots of salamanders and tadpoles

[@russwentz3957]

This complex is looks so much like and is the same era as Fort Casey on Whidbey Island Washington. Really enjoyable to see another historic coastal protection of our country. Thank you again Chirs.

[@AdakStillStands]

In the 1970's, Fort Casey had a few more structures not present today. One was a square concrete communications bunker (allegedly). One way in/out, no windows. Inside was one pitch black narrow walkway surrounding a single, large center room. Go left, 4 right turns back to exit. Go right, 4 lefts. No flashlight? One would use their hands to find the path...or an oncoming person! Good times. Good times indeed!

[@Ganiscol]

I'm a sucker for abandoned military installations 😊 But I wish you'd had a brighter light panel in there 😅

[@projekt6_official]

There's a BUNCH of this stuff at Fort Worden in WA. Fort Casey across the water is pretty neat, too.

[@dfurtado18]

ouuuu we have those at Fort Tabor/ Fort Rodman here in New Bedford MA. it’s in a gorgeous area by the water. last time i explored it was like 2008. so cool

[@paulwollenzein-zn1lh]

That style of exterior gun/cannon was used a lot. I'm only familiar with it being used for the 16" radar directed cannons.

[@julianmalcolm]

13:00 the nps is going to restore all the buildings. Only two buildings have been demolished which were both temporary barracks from 1940 that were ruined in 2012

[@teribenoit87]

[@Lrasm13]

Low sealing areas are cable and ventilation system passages

[@Tuberuser187]

I think for most governments these old fortifications are just to difficult to demolish, they where designed to resist it after all. I have visited a far few of these across the UK and some in Europe, incredible when they are in this state and fully intact enough to easily explore. Nice to see the ones in the US, the rooms with the concrete pedestals after the stoopy sections look like powder handling rooms where they open the big propellant cans and take out the bags to place on a scuttle of some kind to take to the guns. The large rails used to handle the heavy shells are absent, the propellant bags do have some weight to them but a lot less plus they are in sections so you don't need the rails to move them. Propellant are lot more volatile too, they need very careful handling so you usually see small hatches with an opening and closing mechanism to pass them through hence the double stoopy hatch. Great explore!

[@nickcancelliere5638]

Why demolish

[@Tuberuser187]

@@nickcancelliere5638 Number of reasons, mostly related to location. In a city or town the land can be valuable, they might also attract antisocial behavior. In parts of Europe some of the WW2 ones people just wanted them removed for emotional or practical reasons, the Berlin Flak Towers are an example of that. No-one wanted them around as reminders, they tried to demolish them but it was quickly found to be impossible so they used rubble from the City to Bury one.

[@Corinthians-kjv]

Interesting history.

[@Padoinky]

New joyzeee! When the zombie apocalypse occurs, those abandoned facilities would perhaps be helpful

[@kl0wnkiller912]

I was stationed at Ft. Monmouth in the late 80s. A friend of mine had an MOS of "Nuclear Safety Officer". One thing he did was go out to Sandy Hook every so often to check for radiation. The reason is because during and right after WW2 they did atomic research in there... be careful where you go. It may be safe by now... maybe.

[@patriciaerickson8478]

This was Ft. Hancock. One of the beaches near there was the Officer’s Beach. I went there I was very little, and then explored these old buildings
