EP. 95 - TITAN 2: Arizona Missile Silo

This week we head to a Arizona to explore a Titan 2 Underground Missile Complex. At ‘Nuclear Bunker Living’ we appreciate all your support as this journey will culminate in the acquisition and rehab of several bunker complexes across the Southwest.
The 'Nuclear Bunker Living' You Tube series documents Nik's acquisition, exploration and renovation of America's largest and most hardened underground Nuclear Military Bunkers.

Thank you for all of the support! Let us know if you want us to roadtrip to more complexes and interview the owners!

[@neilpinner5750]

Thank you! That was brilliant. Those brothers are so enthusiastic, every day is an adventure. And I wish them the very best for the future.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Enthusiasm is key. Many hurdles in this bunker business

[@stuartkeen5234]

That work they have done is brilliant . Great episode again and so informative.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

We agree!

[@lolapoelooza]

Great work as always baby! 👏🏼 The travel/interview combo is where it’s at.

[@colinjones3976]

Great video again thanks guys and keep up the good work 👌👍

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Our pleasure!

[@Bbendfender]

I pulled around 250 alerts in the Titan II program as a crewmember. I was stationed at McConnell AFB back in the early 70's.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Epic history my friend. Thank you for your service.

[@ThompsonAtomicRanch]

Well done my friend! It was great to have you out the other day and we look forward to seeing ya again :)

[@Exithands]

Absolutely Roger! Thank you again so much for all of your hospitality and taking the time out of your busy day to speak with me and show me around!

[@bruceparker985]

We need some video atomosrancher5002

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Thanks again!

[@Stevop79400]

Great video. Love these complexes and hearing all about them. Thank you for the tour.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Smaller bunker but with unique attributes

[@Exithands]

Had a blast on this trip!

[@ARGONUAT]

Great informative episode! LOVE to see the ICBM community working together.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

You have to be crazy to own a former ICBM complex

[@ARGONUAT]

@@NuclearBunkerLiving To quote the late, great Waylon Jennings, “I’ve Always Been Crazy, But It’s Kept Me From Going Insane”!

[@paraglidingprospector]

This is super cool and the progress you have all made is remarkable too! 🔥🚀

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Good to support other owners

[@garyjones2582]

There is a guy either in Arizona or Arkansas who has completely refurbished a T2 and has it open to the public.. He goes by, DEATH WEARS BUNNY SLIPPERS... can't remember his real name.. He could give you a great story and possibly get to spend the night in his B&B... You guys have a good one and be safe...

[@bruceparker985]

Titan ranch now. Gt, he is in Arkansas along with atomic underground. Those guys were good to watch!!

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

GT from Arkansas is a good friend

[@maximusbavarius]

Wow, very awesome 😀 Thanks for this upload. Nice place,

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

You got it

[@dekon70]

So awesome to see another site.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Sure is

[@chrisbowling3097]

This would be awesome. I need to get me one of these!!

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Very cool

[@Mike_Malloy]

Nice to see the silo again. I was an RPIE/FACE Electrician at the 308th. I knew you were on Level 3 where the Diesel Generated was when you came across the 3000 lbs hoist beam. I used that a couple hoist a couple times changing out the switch gear in front of the generator. It switched between commercial and generator power. Anyway, that switch gear was pretty darn heavy to replace. It was about 3ft x 3ft x2.5ft square. I recognized several other areas you walked by too. So strange seeing it again. It feels like deja vu from a dream in another lifetime. I was in my early 20's back then.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Very cool

[@davidbriel4278]

Another fantastic episode

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

More bunkers to explore

[@nostromons6325]

Интересно посмотреть, что придумали наши враги в прошлом веке. Работа достойная уважения. It's interesting to see what our enemies came up with in the last century. Work worthy of respect.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Keep watching. Both sides are not quite done with each other.

[@nostromons6325]

@@NuclearBunkerLiving Of course.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

ты говоришь по русски? Я прожил в России 5 лет. Мне посчастливилось исследовать советские ракетные шахты. Я жил в Звездном городке. Я стажировался в Роскосмосе и получил звание российского космонавта.

[@ArizonaTitan]

Well done video!

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

👍

[@raveboy2006]

Great edition Exit 😊

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Thank you!

[@k2mslskier]

I remember when this place was on Zillow for $200k. They got a killer deal. The #2 site on the map which is just east of Benson off of I-10 sold for $440k just a few years later.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

It’s fairly useless as it’s compromised. It also lacks a silo

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Super awesome, I’m sure I worked at this site, I worked on the Titan IIs until deactivation in 1983. Thanks for the memories. I’d love to come visit sometime. Cheers

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Love it

[@raymondrysdyk8630]

As always it was a great video presentation (:=()

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

👌

[@ALink2Zelda]

yolo hope everyone is doing great

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Thank you

[@apathlesstraveled1463]

So me and my wife at the time 15 years ago my girlfriend made it a goal to go to all 17 sites somewhere there somewhere gone somewhere private meta-couple owners got escorted off one at gunpoint and actually got inside two of them one out in avra Valley and one out Off of I 10 east of Tucson both were completely abandoned we love showing People the pictures. It always blows their minds. Lol cool video

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Great memories

[@Erik-rp1hi]

I repurposed 3 each 200amp 3phase fused electrical disconnects from a abandon Nike missile site 30 years ago. They still are working for me.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

I’ll buy it off you

[@ldr9146]

During 1966 I was in the Air Force stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson, AZ 390th SMS. While there I worked with a SGT William Brewer. We were good friends but lost contact, Would like information where he lives

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Let’s see what we can come up with. Thanks 🙏

[@jimamccracken5783]

Sounds to me like ya got the CLAP time to see the DR.

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Duress

[@ningyu3088]

Bunker T1 got a brother T2! How many nuclear missiles abounded here?

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

A much much much smaller brother then the Titan 1.

[@brianleabo6295]

You could probably get that air working

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

We would rather start new

[@brucelester6918]

Did they use asbestos and if so how did you deal with that?

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

All facilities used asbestos.

[@vertihvost7675]

There is still a lot of exposed asbestos in the museum in Sahuarita. I took few pictures when I was there. They don’t do any maintenance just collect the cash. Also the smell inside of that museum silo is absolutely horrible (not because of asbestos ). The tour guide didn’t allow to walk around and it was so crowded that I basically didn’t have time to explore. I don’t understand how something like this is even allowed to be open to public. It needs ti be stripped from all the original paint and asbestos, be PROPERLY ventilated and then we can have a conversation

[@navseal345]

👍👍

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Cheers!

[@burtpanzer]

A place where his family can have fun? Um, you mean with all that jagged steel, dangerous heights and asbestos? Hmm...

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

It’s still cool

[@jamesharrison2570]

That was my Home Site. They filmed Star Trek, First Contact there. I spent over 7 years underground in the Titan ii ICBM s

[@NuclearBunkerLiving]

Great history
