I went to Cheyenne Mountain High School. You could look up and see NORAD from the back windows of the school. I remember sitting in classes in the 1980’s and looking up at it and thinking, “I won’t feel a thing”. Because NORAD was target number one for the Soviets. What a crazy thing for a teenager to think about. But very real.

@Frank Morris We actually had drills in our school where we’d all have to race to the gymnasium and lay on the floor face down. The gym was built into the side of a hill and also had 3’ thick concrete walls and could supposedly withstand a Hiroshima sized blast. But by the 80’s hydrogen bombs were the threat and we wouldn’t have stood a chance. We still did the drills anyway.

I was working for a while at a secure facility that controls communications across the world. We were in communication with NORAD, NATO, and others. All was 'live'. The technology was incredible and made our work easy and effective. There is no movie out there that can compare to the reality. All those places are run by true professionals. We were aware of everything going on anywhere on the planet. If it could affect the security of NORAD or NATO, we knew. Every day, sometimes more than once, I got to talk with other staff at places like Cheyenne Mountain. I got to see deployments against many enemies, against spy planes, and to assist other countries in times of crises. The only drawback; I could not, then and now, talk about any details. And yet, for an old geeky nerd, this was heaven. We had such nice 'toys' to play with. We did make a difference, even if the world will never hear about it.

It has two acre sized ponds inside it and is 5 stories tall! Every person that works there knows that if they are in the facility and there is a nuclear attack on it, they will survive but never see their loved ones outside.

I worked in NORAD Northbay for 6 months. Everyday we would take the bus into the mountain. What I found amazing was in the early years they needed complex cooling systems and then in the 90s they had to install central heating systems. All due to the transition from tube technology to integrated electronics.

[@MrPilgrim]

Not just the electronics, it has to do presumably aswell with it being installed inside of a mountain where there’s no ventilation. What happens when sunlight hits concrete? It gets hot, so you’d assume with all of the electronics in such a remotely dense location would be the reason for such complex ventilation systems

We were picked by our science teachers. We got to go on a bunch of really cool field trips and stuff and this was one we went on. I think it was our first one actually. It was really cool. I was grateful to be picked. I dont remember much about it. The huge double blast doors. The drive into the mountain. I remember after first walking in through the blast doors the small buildings right inside that were on huge coil springs to absorb shock in case of a blast. I remember walking around and them explaining how they could lock themselves in and last for a long time because of the indoor reservoirs of water. We walked by one it was creepy to think of how deep it might be and how dark. And we got to see a command center for a moment. It was all a very cool experience that I will never forget.

Not surprising, but they failed to mention how much Canada actually has to do with NORAD and that the second highest in NORAD command is a Canadian Lieutenant-General Alain Parent. Here is a brief description of the Canadian/American agreement.🇨🇦🇺🇸 In 1958, both governments signed an agreement to create a bi-national structure that would centralize efforts to defend North American airspace. The agreement established guidelines and principles on how the command would be organized and operated. NORAD would be commanded by an American general, with a Canadian general as deputy commander, who would be equally responsible to both governments. Currently, NORAD is commanded by U.S. Army General Charles Jacoby, who is also the commander of U.S. Northern Command (the U.S. joint command responsible for homeland defence), while the NORAD deputy commander is Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Lieutenant-General Alain Parent.

What an exciting mountain of toys. What did we pay for this techno piece of shit in todays dollars? Just a trillion or two. May I be so bold as to offer one query to public forem? Does it work? Is it capable of doing anything for us? No not in anyway shape or form according to senior NORAD officials as they testified during senate subcommittee hearings they apologized for being absolutely useless during 9-11. Great job guys that was a trillion well spent. Does anybody ever ponder how much money we're talking about here or do you mindless automatons just sit there dazzled by all the flashing lights? It's enough to pay off every home mortgage in the country AND pay for a small house for the rest of the American citizens that don't own a house.

More money, taking away more rights and wasting tons of time to jump through the hoops to fly. 4 planes and 19 men (mostly Saudi citizens) with box cutters so really even with tsa today 9/11 still would have happened.

The mountain ( local jargon ) was put into a type of hibernation by the late 90's after the soviet breakup since it was obscenely expensive to operate at full capacity and congress rightfully didn't want to spend billions on updates to all the systems. They moved the military detection mission to a new condensed facility ( Falcon AFB ) outside of Peterson AFB that needed about a 1/20 the staff to run it. In the last 8 years the military build-up and restablishment by Putin, activities of N Korea & China have justified the expense to update the systems and re-open most of the functions to some degree in The Mountain but the majority of personnel are private contractors like Raytheon and Martin Marietta.

That is a lie to say at the beginning of the atomic age no one knew how to make tunnels in that rock. I understand this was different, but this ignores the knowledge that came before. They just had to get miners from the other side of the mountain in Cripple Creek who developed those techniques in the 1890s. over 100 , miles of tunnels in the same rock. 8 mile at the 3000 foot level a tunnel just to drain water which it is still doing to this day. The hard rock drills they show were developed in Cripple Creek. I have seen 1890 old rock bolts in the Molly Kathleen mine.

Ha! At 3:49 that's the USS Arleigh Burke. My brother is a plank owner on that ship and loved her well. I recognized the bow number right away. I was there at her commissioning and have been all over inside and out. Bro was the very first firecontrolman on the forward turret there. She was designed to have a very low radar signature and is the first major US Navy ship to have the back-raked mast. She's the first of her class of destroyer. If you look at her, there are no vertical lines or planes anywhere, a design that makes it very hard for a radar beam to accurately bounce back to the originator. Good ship. I don't think the Cold War is over at all. Like the narrator said, it's only changed hands. I still view our fellow nuclear capable countries as potential threats (or potential allies...you never know what India is going to do and whatever India does, Pakistan will follow and vice versa because of the utter loathing between the governments of each country) so I think NORAD has not outlived its usefulness. We will always need a facility, or facilities, like this until such time as Humankind grows up and out of its greedy lust for war and destruction (which we are quite good at and have a real penchant for). I disagree with the narrator that the former Soviet Union, now mostly the Russian Republic, has lost much of its nuclear capabilities. I think it hides them well but they're still there. You'd be an utter fool if you think the infrastructure and the weapons themselves have somehow magically vanished. China is a wild card in all this. I don't think we know exactly what HER capabilities are beyond a handful of need to know experts. My rough guess would be that her weaponry at this point rivals that of the former USSR if not the US. The Chinese play their cards very close to their vests and are, as stereotypes maintain, very inscrutable and opaque to read.
