Rare Look Inside The Famous Iron Mountain KDKA-TV

pittsburgh.cbsl...
Hidden away in the hills of rural Butler Pennsylvania, Iron Mountain houses some of America's most amazing, priceless treasures. KDKA's John Shumway got a rare look inside this incredible archive.

Mr Robot brought me here :) Steel mountain.

"storage space for clients is sold by mega, giga, and even terrabytes" Wow, that's fucking HUGE!

[@botdfbvb]

Not really. If they mentioned petabytes then I would be impressed.

[@merryprankstermatt]

The new LTO7 data tapes hold 6 terabytes and a customer at work order 1,000 not too long ago. They'll be needing more soon. Believe me, there's a TON of data these companies save

[@R0B_WR]

Now iPhones can have a terabyte of storage, oh boy have times changed.....

[@ruelharris7253]

@@merryprankstermatt you need a whole fucking building of them shits to run a decent network nowadays

You Americans think Big, im impressed. Greetings from Germany

[@SeeTheWholeTruth]

Not as big as Sweden it seems. Thats a lot of bunkers in those mountains.

this 'secret' 'hidden' facility is located at 1137 Branchton Road in Boyers PA, almost 2 thousand people a day work there, worst secret ever!

[@TheQuintox1]

I was one of those people. But we work from home now.

[@speedy0834]

@@TheQuintox1 Is the security really tight as they say? I saw an infographics show video saying there's multiple gates on the road before you get there

[@ruelharris7253]

@@speedy0834 it’s hard to get into but it’s not impossible You could easily get in disguised as a potent client or even as a security guard

[@ThePulseG]

Not only is it digitally secure from attacks, but it's traditional security is superb.

[@fred6059]

Yes the guards have rifles.

[@shway1]

they've had fires

[@LionofLight777]

Cool!...I work there!...Great benefits too!

[@Letsgivethisatry_]

How’s the pay??

[@LionofLight777]

@@Letsgivethisatry_ ...The pay sucks!...We're in an economic downturn and our union's power of negotiations have already been greatly compromised!.😔😔😔

[@natestarr9935]

This is like an hardcore version of a Hoarders episode

[@aliceingraham7637]

Does this freak anyone's else out a little? How many other places are there that we don't know about? They show this one because it's cute........nothing to see here. You can bet there are entire cities underground built and waiting....creepy

[@TheQuintox1]

This mine goes on for miles. There even is an Air Force entrance.

[@Norsilca]

Unfortunately reality isn't as fun as movies, sorry :(

[@nitrohanktoursamerica5047]

The perfect place to survive the apocalypse; except it's in Pittsburg.

[@HereIsRick]

I worked for Iron Mountain. It's a shit job with shit pay. Some interesting stuff to be seen, but mostly it is horrible.

[@GbrJose]

Sucks that Disney doesn't have a vault in Iron Mountain neither does any of the tv shows or commercials throughout history

[@hamsamick4002]

I worked in the one in upstate NY and live down the road from it. I looked at tons of films to see what they were. It's mostly insurance company info and pictures. Some gorey stuff in there. We'd challenge each other to find the most shocking. lol It's cold and damp, doesn't pay well unless you swallow your way into a top spot....it's basically a shit job. It's great to look at and leave, you don't want to be underground everyday. It fk's you up.

[@flbeachinggirl]

Funny how most of the people who are storing items like this want youth to forget about history.

[@jacquidiffenderfer4464]

My Dad worked for Bill Shockley . Worked at the test site in Nevada He definitely doesn't want me, my kids, grandkids, and great grand kids to ever forget the history he was a large part of. Our government seems to conviently change history with every generation. Seriously look at U S History books used to teach us. How different they are from generation to generation. It's TERRIBLE!!! I'm very proud of what my father, David W. Diffenderfer was a large part of

[@Randy.lorenzo]

Lmao, you and whoever your father worked for are sick people and you know it. Obviously he's going to want you to know the history he's been apart of. You're his child, and automatically affiliated with your father's boss's agenda. The history he's been apart of is true for him and his family, but that truth involves taking away the history of those who aren't affiliated with him. That's the entire rest of the world.

[@Thecrowleycompany]

Interesting and informative. If you don't blink, you'll see our Mekel Technology MACH5 microfilm scanner at 41 seconds!

[@TheEndOfMadness]

Corporations also store you genetic profiles and personal information in there without your permission

[@Letsgivethisatry_]

This is cool

[@deluxebanter3435]

National Treasure franchise, I think you know what do to. Get to writing!

[@1smae100]

Might be working here soon.

[@Radoll]

My condolences.

[@LionofLight777]

I'm already working there!..See ya soon!

[@kevingeisler9564]

This seems like a really really cool place but holy crap does the local news in Pittsburgh suck. This seems like something a high school news team would make.

2:08 so the photo with Einstein sticking out his tongue isn't a photoshop? I've been living in a lie.

[@shway1]

Travis Heinze lol you cant just assume everything on the internet is photoshopped, grandpa

[@theatomicpunkkid]

Is this why classic rock CDs that are cheap sound like crap?

Id love to work with music records

Looks like the entrance to stargate

[@zerodept]

[@slimmorrison]

They have what they need to restart culture their way with their account of "history" intact after the culling and the genetic reshaping.

[@qumarahjackson1879]

Right! That would be very frightening.

[@Randy.lorenzo]

I think you misunderstood. That's already what they're doing.

[@HikikomoriDev]

I see XP computers.

Hope they are using electric/solar generators….

What in the world is the point of this, an under ground shelter to hold a bunch of useless junk!! This is so weird

[@swiftkarma4436]

There's a point. Trust me. I dont know what but this was done for a reason.

[@fred6059]

There are plenty of businesses down here. I work here but not for Iron Mountain.
