EP. 75 - Full Video Tour of TITAN 1 Nuclear Missile Complex

FULL TOUR of our Titan 1 Missile Complex with a 360 Camera for the First Time. We appreciate all support as this journey will culminate in the rehab of several bunker complexes across the Southwest.
The Titan 1 underground Nuclear Bunker was developed during the Cold War as a deterrent against a Soviet nuclear strike against the United States. The Titan 1 Missile Silo complex was armed with 3 Nuclear Missiles, each 98 ft missile was armed with a destructive 4.5 megaton warhead and payload [the equivalent of 4.5 Million Tons of TNT per missile].
The 'Nuclear Bunker Living' You Tube series documents Nik's exploration and renovation of America's largest and most hardened underground Nuclear Military Bunkers.

This episode is KILLER!!!!! What an insane place to work every day. Virtual tours like this make a huge difference!

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Came out fabulous. Appreciate the support.

[@assistantdogconsult]

I live near the Titan 1 missile installation in Lincoln, CA. Thanks for giving me a better understanding of what's under the ground there.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Need to check out Lincoln. I drive past regularly.

[@perrybonney9090]

There. I finally got a sense as to what the entire layout of the Titan 1 missile site looks like. Well done. Thanks much!

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Pleasure

[@Pricklyhedgehog72]

That was absolutely riveting, thanks for doing a full tour as it really helps piece all of the different structures together, and gives you the real sense of scale of this massive complex. I really love the long tunnels, gives it a sort of space ship underground feel.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Truly was an epic video.

[@ningyu3088]

Niko MOU, would you show us a Three Dimensional diagram with this complex FULL TOUR? Helps imagination flying. So massive, great work, but you need another year to clean up all isn’t?

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

So much work to go.

[@TheIbwahooka]

Such an amazing video! I'm amazed at the amount of time and money spent on such a facility that was only used for four years.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

It’s a monster 👹

[@daviddelancey400]

Amazing the massive size of the complex. Thanks for the tour!!

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

It’s the BOMB. The real thing.

[@RealRickCox]

This is one of the best "tours" of the complex I've seen yet. Having been in there myself, I was able to sort of process where everything I saw was actually at. But having you walk through each area and showing it on the map makes it way easier to understand how all the different areas related to one another. Patrick still has a lot more work ahead of him. You guys really need some kind of elevator to remove all the scrap.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Still so much more work to be done! Thank you Rick! We appreciate the feedback! We know a lot of the community has been waiting to watch this so we are glad to deliver!

[@manucorral6284]

The complex is huge, a lot of work still to do, you are doing great guys!

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Cheers Manu

[@BlackWolfLeon]

I'm just looking at all those pipes covered with lovely asbestos❤

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Yummy

[@macklane38]

I was afraid I wouldn't get our Sunday video ;) I hope you are well and that the week was not too complicated. Once again a crazy report that makes us discover a magical set! You did great ... visit for us just beautiful! What a work, what a titanic work you realize! I can only congratulate you and especially thank you for all that you make us share. It is a real pleasure, I encourage you from the bottom of my heart! A small question, do you intend to empty all the silos of water? Your friend from Belgium ;)

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Frederic, thanks for the support. Yes all silos will be emptied of water.

[@richardbeddoes8237]

This was an awesome episode!! Its great to get a true perspective of the complex! still blows my mind, the sheer size of these places and the amount of construction that went into them!!

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Best walk thru for sure. Absolutely

[@C-Young.]

Kinda spooky. But very cool

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Agreed. Very surreal.

[@lloyd6455]

Very interesting video. I love these complex underground

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Truly is.

[@raymondrysdyk8630]

Great shit mate I loved the walk around (:=()

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Cheers Raymond. Appreciate the support.

[@raymondrysdyk8630]

@@NuclearBunkerLiving No worries mate keep up the great work.

[@Matt-yg8ub]

Love the complex, love the tour, not a big fan of the fish eye lens on this. Is there a special way I’m supposed to be viewing this? because it’s very disorienting and I don’t like it :)

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

@@Matt-yg8ub We utilized the GoPro Max 360 during this one take walk through! It is incredibly hard with normal cinematic cameras and DSLR's to be able to capture the sheer size. The fisheye effect can allow to show these rooms in one frame. Thank you for your input as always though! Thank you for the continued support!

[@Matt-yg8ub]

@@NuclearBunkerLiving I think the complex looks amazing… I understand how large it is, but I’m watching this on a cell phone screen… I probably need to switch over to something much larger in order to appreciate the 360.

[@mtk44mk]

Where is this??

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Colorado

[@udirt]

The long tunnels would already exceed my budget for paint buckets 😂😂

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Yes they are long

[@garyjones2582]

Very nice tour.. thx for bringing us along.. would be nice to see the entry portal doors opened up and rig an elevator system in place to start the massive clean up.. thx again..

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Killer footage.

[@Exithands]

MASSIVE

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Understatement!

[@clifforddodson5459]

There is so much work to do in there.🤔 man if you had the money for that main elevator working or reinstall it would make a world of difference.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

It doesn’t work and we need to raise the silo doors to replace elevator.

[@steelerussell4881]

Have you considered using a vacuum truck for draining the water similar to the method used in Silopedia's most recent video "Minuteman MAF J-01 Rockville, MO [Video]"

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Yes we have used them in the Past. The Titan 1 is just massive in size and always logistically a nightmare

[@roymg]

You didn't show the kitchen and lunch room. Had some great meals there eating with the Officer crew.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Oooops. Thank you for your service

[@raisinbartholamew5864]

How cool would it be to power these facilities with a small modular reactor. Are these all going to be powered by diesel generators?

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Liquefaction and magnetic propulsion. No diesel, no solar, no wind turbines

[@raisinbartholamew5864]

@@NuclearBunkerLiving thermal generators! that's brilliant. PNNL is reviving this old tech.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Appreciate the support. Thanks

[@ARGONUAT]

When you said other facilities can launch the missiles if both of your site’s antenna silos are knocked out, am I understanding it right this way: Say you are site 123-A and lose your antenna silos, does that mean that only site 123-B or 123-C can launch your missiles or are you saying locations beyond those can also launch them?

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Their radar antennas can help guide yours in the event of malfunction.

[@BigTrikerTom]

Great walkthrough. I love it. Will there sometime be a way to get the original sump pumps going again?

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

New pumps will go in.

[@sirkristoferTV]

Love it!

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Loving it.

[@regentraynor8443]

This was video was good. Thnx. Watching a meathead slowly do demo is boring. Ive been carpenter since 90. Looks like a worthy project but long way 2 go. Hope u get a good deal on paint.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

It’ll get done. Can’t wait.

[@burtpanzer]

I can only imagine what peace of mind it must be having blast doors like that keeping everyone safe at night. I'd sleep like a baby knowing nothing short of the Russian Army with a 5 Megaton Bomba stands a chance of getting in there. lol

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Crazy right…!!!

[@Veritas419]

No power, sewer, water, proper ventilation, partially flooded, tons of materials that have to be removed. Let’s throw in some asbestos, lead based paint, and the possibility of developing some kind of weird respiratory illness. The cost to make a small fraction of that facility suitable for habitation would take years and millions of dollars to do it properly. Good Luck!

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Please Watch-in-AWE. You’ll be surprised.

[@udirt]

But also very little worry about stability, a lot of space and rather well prepared for venting. And perfect for model railway fans or fpv drone ravers.

[@B61Mod12]

Why do people put sound effects and music over their narration? Is what you have to say not important? It is annoying AF

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Thanks for feedback

[@zenzfpv6304]

do not use that camera or lens it looks so stupid

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Different angles are fine

[@timmensch3601]

Make this place a museum idk why you are taking so much of the metal hopefully your not making this place a survival bunker for the rich

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Remediation is paramount.

[@billparnell5908]

Thanks for the tour. It's interesting to see how the facility was laid out. 😊

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Thank you Bill! A lot of our viewers were very curious to see a whole walk through so we decided to give it to ya all!

[@and1513]

It really helped to show the diagram of the facility to help understand where you were filming. Well done

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Thank you for the support and feedback! This complex is absolutely massive so we thought it would be a good idea to keep track!

[@ianevans8939]

Amazing that you found a Titan site in such condition. Have seen the Washington site with a big hole punched in the roof of the power dome, and the heavily vandalized and stripped Colorado site.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Yeah those 2 sites are compromised for sure.

[@greenieburger]

That would make an insane techno club / festival location !

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Hell yeahhhh

[@buggyapp]

This is a great walkthrough that the map really helps a lot. Going down the tunnel to silo #1 brought back a rush of good memories. One of the best episodes yet. It takes a lot to put this monster into perspective.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

‘Exit’ rocked this one. Came out great. Let’s chat soon Thomas

[@EyeForKnowledge.]

I’d turn it into a skate park/hotel. And this tour would be amazing in VR.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Visionary

[@bobhabibi]

Honestly the control dome is really cool, cant wait to see the plans for it in the future

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

One of our favorite spots!

[@davidbriel4278]

This place is so massive loved the tour

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Thank you David! This place is an underground city for the most part! MASSIVE!

[@darkstar5740]

Hi Nick and crew; good tour! Something at the end of the narrative: possibly he meant "VHF" antenna; not "VHT"? (more cleanup on isle 9, maybe). Keep on; you guys are making incredible progress!

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Thanks for the info!

[@jakeforrest]

I love your editing - going fast forward over the more trivial parts, while speaking over…

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Very cool

[@dekon70]

Thanks for this video. It really put into perspective how large the Titan missile complex really is.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

It’s really the mothership.

[@markdudley5656]

Thanks for the awesome video! It really brings back memories. I used to explore the Titan 1 complexes out on the old Lowry bombing range east of Aurora, Colorado, in the late 1980s. Titan 1 complexes were, by far, the largest underground nuclear missile complexes ever built; much larger than Titan 2 or anything after it. it seems a waste that most were only an operation for about 3 years. Do you plan on renovating the entire complex?

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Classic

[@WillieMakeit]

Only get to shoot what you have loaded. Once fired the people on top have to bring another to the launch site and load it.. all the while the launch site itself is a target. People on top wont stick around dont be fooled

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

How sad

[@kenbarthelette8079]

I worked the power center in 1963-64 for 18 months at Beale Air Force Base in California before moving on to the Mace Missile in Germany for three years. I also worked the Atlas F sites at Dyess AFB in Texas. Six years and a Senior Missile Man. Was proud to be in the early years of the missile age. Ken

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Ken. Thank you for your service Sir. Would love to meet you and give you a guided tour.

[@JosephSelter]

Out of curiosity were you ever at the facility outside of Lincoln?

[@jimritter9769]

Like wise crew 02 Ellsworth titan one A site. Also atlas sites at Francis EWarren AFB Cheyenne Wyoming. 60-68

[@roymg]

Who are you. I was at Ellsworth Titan I ..63 and 64 as a Power Prod Spec...then onto Bitburg Mace System Launch Crew 65 66. At Ellsworth helped overhaul one of the the Norberg diesels and then did one completely on my own. Was some things you'd never experience as a civilian.

[@ivenothumbs]

I'm not a freaking salmon man can't see crap with that fish eye lens

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Stop it. We know you do have fish eye lens.

[@666theninja]

Be a big day at work walking around that Base each day.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Truly is

[@yknott9873]

That's a fabulous sequence - what was he using for a camera? The lens frequently showed extreme fish-eye characteristics, but also frequently showed superb detail and good spatial relationships between the various structures and remaining items. Are any of the O2 thermos tanks still there, and could you show some details of the two collimation towers for the targeting radars? An excellent walk-through; I feel like a total geek, all the stuff I saw and recognised (and no, I've never been within 20 miles of any of those sites 😥 )

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Yeah it was a 360 camera. Awesome episode it was. LoX tanks were taken out.

[@yknott9873]

Not surprised, they were among the most valuable items down there, but 😥

[@dylanpulvermacher9970]

cool thank you

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

You bet!

[@mbak7801]

I am not sure I would want to live in one. It would almost certainly be still targeted by a large yield nuclear weapon. An enemy is not going to take your word that the complex is no longer in use and with many thousands of weapons a 'just in case' approach is prudent. Nuclear war is survivable but probably not when you build smack in the middle of 'X' marks the spot.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Interesting perspective.

[@martinhu4284]

At 5:55 there is a pipe from the wall in the middle of the tunnel to the antenna silos. Where is the pipe leading and what was it's purpose?

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

That’s where the telescopic hydraulics would push the radar up to the surface.

[@VenusUrsa]

New-clear....NOT nu-q-ler

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

You-like…?

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Hmmm
