Inside a Top-Secret Nuclear War Bunker | Underground Marvels | Science Channel

Beneath the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia sits a massive subterranean bunker, fit to sustain life in case of a nuclear attack. The Greenbrier Bunker remained one of the US' top Cold War secrets until 1992, when it's existence was uncovered by a Washington Post reporter.

[@lawrencebrenn3345]

They may have closed THIS one down, but you can be sure that they have more "secret bunkers" out there!

[@DavidKen878]

Duh

[@HJay83]

Bunker is prob the wrong word more like underground complexes that scattered all over the country, with rail lines connecting them all.

[@lauriecole3312]

This one was only closed because The Washington Post outed it. Then it became unsafe to use and therefore, I’m sure if an alternative didn’t exist, it does now

[@PatrickMetzger]

If this was needed in a true emergency what value would a government official provide when they came out? We need to put farmers, hunters, and people well equipped to survive in the bunker. Putting politicians in there would serve no purpose. 😮

[@zangbam]

Absolutely!

[@BBalz89]

Really good point

[@101shadeira]

What happens to their families smh 🤦🏾‍♀️ they just leave them

[@StinzandL]

@@101shadeira yep. in another video about Greenbrier it said their families were not to come with them. wow.

[@101shadeira]

@@StinzandL that’s crazy

[@Deja34KB]

All that work and you only have 60 days worth of food.

[@AridersLifeYT]

yeah for 400 people.

[@oliverfulayter5515]

Literally my exact thoughts when they said "... and 60 days worth of food." We all know the radiation from nuclear fallout wouldn't disappear in 2 months time. Especially if this bunker is so close to DC and DC happened to get nuked. Also, how TF are a bunch of useless politicians gonna rebuild society? But thank God they can still tax us after all is said and done, right?

[@txhorn10]

When you went in from the outside entrance, the long hallway tunnel was lined with all the food. All space was used. I remember taking a field trip to this back in 96 or 97 as a little elementary school kid. It was amazing for little ole me. The reason it got uncovered was the Cold War was over and someone decided to brag.

[@jonaspete]

God bless the Enclave

[@werism8073]

and no one else

[@eponte5]

Just like there is three generators each can run the whole thing independently. They have more bunkers out there.

[@satoshinakamotocross]

Now they built a new one under the Denver airport. Construction of the Denver Airport began 4 months after the ‘closing’ of the Greenbrier bunker

[@lawrenceagnew3972]

Not true,

[@satoshinakamotocross]

@@lawrenceagnew3972 okay fed

[@MrJTRfilms]

And little do we know. In 60 years from now. There will be a video just like this, about the multiple bunkers we have hidden now.

[@SuV33358]

Was that a periscope? Cool

[@shoresy6927]

Correct Title "Inside a former secret bunker"

[@Hornet_Legion]

today the depth isnt even close to protecting the occupants. can you imagine how many missiles are zeroed in on that bunker?

[@ItsGroundhogDay]

I'm happy that Congress would have been safe. Too bad for the peasants.

[@jemmafowler5999]

How did you get in my basement?

[@susiemitchell1198]

All those taxpayer dollars spent! Yikes!!!

[@88KeysOnFire]

With hypersonic nukes the game is changed and no one would have time to make it to any bunker.

[@AridersLifeYT]

that is why hey have staff live in them on 6month rotations.

[@historychannel365]

Right now, everyone within a 10-mile drive or walk needs to estimate when they will arrive; mine is in five minutes.

[@remusayta9937]

Sometimes we call that in the Philippines MARITES meaning Kumare mahilig sa Tsismis.. Usually Helpfull but sometimes Destuctive...Proud to Let somebody know that you know...For me it should not be divulge.

[@julzpogi17]

Bunkers nowadays is trending specially in rich communities

[@MichaelH-ck4hg]

Secret? Not really. It was rumored for years. I was there in April 1981 when I was 14 years old and was shown where the bunker was and told about it and also how easy it was to move the extremely heavy door.

[@susiemitchell1198]

Why did you need the government if the citizens all died!!!???

[@oliverfulayter5515]

Taxes! Of course.

[@falcigo]

The government officials should not get any bunker services so they will take actions which will not lead to nuclear war.

Почему вы закрыли этот канал в Израиле???

[@TrevorThrash]

And they have real ufos 🛸

[@jayb3289]

Top secret huh?

[@misterglo1394]

It was a secret for 30 years

[@MichaelH-ck4hg]

@@misterglo1394I was told about the bunker in April 1981 when I was 14 years old while staying there.

Regarding the commercial break a message to the gentleman that spoke in the commercial. An AR 15 is not an assault rifle. . Assault rifles are fully automatic

[@PRCOM]

Typical American government, let's build a secret bunker to save us the government but not the public 😂😂😂 Who do they think they would govern if it happened 😂 everyone apart from them would be dead

[@BradyT918]

Why, the support staff of course. Start at the bottom and work your way up until enough people cooperate.

[@oliverfulayter5515]

I'm glad this comment section is so aware that he lives of Government officials during an apocalypse is near fucking null because they don't really.. do anything. Like.. who TF is gonna farm, and hunt, and gather, etc, etc. instead these assholes are gonna be like, "How can we tax what is left of the public so we can bounce back?"

[@PRCOM]

@@oliverfulayter5515 exactly 💯 👏

[@lawrenceagnew3972]

60 d only

[@cupp17]

I cant imagine these congressmen leaving behind their families. If an actual disaster were to take place, this facility would be in the hands of the govt within 24 hours

[@101shadeira]

What about their families

[@samogen300]

Everybody within a 10 mile drive/walk need to estimate time of arrival right now, I have mine 5 minutes away.
