Inside This Mountain, Old Films Live Forever | National Geographic

Where do National Geographic and major motion picture studios store their most important films? At a secure storage site, known as Iron Mountain, which is housed in a huge, repurposed mine in rural western Pennsylvania. Here, film reels for old movies-such as Jane Goodall and the Wild Chimps-are kept in temperature-controlled "vaults," where they are preserved for future generations to enjoy. In this video, take a rare tour of the facility and get an eerie look at its Cold War roots.

I don’t know what’s more amazing: to think that the original masters from Gone with the Wind are there, or that The Fast & the Furious is there too.

I’m a Lincoln’s Challenge Academy Graduate - successfully lived with hundreds for 22 weeks.

You failed to mention everything else that's stored here

[@kylegale6037]

It’s definitely a cover up to hide a doomsday shelter.

so its basically a real life vault?

whoa what if ancient humans had one of these and is hidden waiting to be found.

Rock is pretty porous. Isn't water dripping through the rock all the time?

[@yakamarezlife]

No they caped the facility with something like 20ish feet of a material can't tell you what but it's secure believe that

[@SteveC2k9]

I've worked here for 9 years. The limestone isn't porous enough to allow water through. The ceilings are approximately 4 feet thick then it's shale above. In rooms/vaults the limestone is painted, but that does nothing to seal it. The only real problem is humidity, but all active space is conditioned.

I'm more interested in the records of the Aborigines of America. I know what the Mormons did to the real Indians of these lands. All secrets will be reveal, regardless of all the protections... People are waking up from all the lies. Keep the movies, they're worth nothing. But the truth does... Time is running out!
