Ep. 73 - RAPPELLING down a 165 foot deep MISSILE SILO

- This week we do reconnaissance in our preparations to rappel down a 165 foot deep missile silo. The crew from Elevated Safety set up rigging as we continue water operations to drain out the rest of silo 3.
As work continues at the TITAN 1 Missile Silo, we unveil in-house produced content for the community. We appreciate all support as this journey will culminate in the rehab of several bunker complexes across the Southwest.
The Titan 1 underground Nuclear Bunker was developed during the Cold War as a deterrent against a Soviet nuclear strike against the United States. The Titan 1 Missile Silo complex was armed with 3 Nuclear Missiles, each 98 ft missile was armed with a destructive 4.5 megaton warhead and payload [the equivalent of 4.5 Million Tons of TNT per missile].
The 'Nuclear Bunker Living' You Tube series documents Nik's exploration and renovation of America's largest and most hardened underground Nuclear Military Bunkers.

All that water! All those pumps! Wow, that's a lot of work. Thanks for sharing.
Ridiculous amounts
@@NuclearBunkerLiving Indeed.
That rock wall climbing concept was pretty cool for inside the silos. I love seeing snippets of areas that have been cleaned up, lighting in the cable ways for example, really gives it some sense of progress. Seeing all those pumps and water issues brought back memories of hassles moving water for filtration in my old fishtank, and that was a paltry 55gallons!
Tribulations my friend.
Can not wait to see the bottom of the silo. I bet the perspective of looking from the bottom up will really drive home how deep the silos are. Great work and plan explanation as usual.
It’ll be wild Rich. Cheers
Oh that light set up looks monstrous but in a good way lol🖤🤘🏻
Massive void in that silo
Alright... we need less time chitchatting and more CLIMBING!! Gitterdone! :D
Funny man Rick
Just think of the climbing wall you could make in there. Mind-blowing opportunities for this project.
Certainly is my friend
Neat light - I've never seen one like that. Cool episode thanks! Can't wait to see the BOTTOM of a silo.
Yeah that big rack was 125,000 lumen Damn lighthouse
The size of that place is absolutely amazing
Bigger in person Brett
Great episode - Project Pat needed a break!
We all need breaks for sure. Nothing defeats a TITAN.
Shout out to Raycore for the tower of illuminating happiness!
Great episode guys! What’s this about these drone videos?! 👀 Exit we need to hear more about that!!
Yes. Illuminating Happiness.
Ahhh man, I was just waiting for the panel of the three Raycores to be fired up. I'm sure that's not far down the road. It was interesting to see some of the prep work you are doing for future episodes. Nice tease. Looking forward to seeing the rappelling to the bottom of the silo. The view up to the top is going to be fantastic.
We will share the SR3 rocked out. They’ll blind your retina for sure.
When you said "open up that" at 6:53 into the video, were you referring to the silo doors? That should be a sight to see those open from the bottom!!
Indeed Tom
I’m surprised you’re not using industrial water pumps with a 5-6” line to empty out those silos. That’s a lot of water!!
We’ve used multiple pumps. They all break down.
I have a question where is the water being pumped into ? I thought there was issues with EPA etc I seen some use ponds to store them
@@keithrussell2307 it’s being transferred to another silo
Nik how large are the massive lights (inches or feet) the government installed in the ceiling of the power dome? And do you know the candle power of those lights? Cool video.. Be nice to see the bottom of the silo...
All original lights are intact. They’ll be removed and preserved for the museum.
Look at those lights dim when you hooked up that pump for a test, 120v not cutting it anymore?
It’s been a constant struggle
@@NuclearBunkerLiving You might need to get a HV supply down to the bunker and site some step down transformers locally within the complex for 240v and 120v supplies, but the question as always is, at what cost!
@@NuclearBunkerLiving Just to add, if you're going through a lot of pumps (failures) - it might be undervoltage that's killing the motors, look up effects of undervoltage on induction motors
What’s the status of silo 2 as it hardly gets mentioned? Great work again guys.
Agreed. We need to explore it more often. How rude of us.
@@NuclearBunkerLiving not rude I would say very busy , big place.
Any data you guys can talk about on the contaminated water in those silos? Is it mostly hydraulic fluid that is in the water?
Fluids being the main culprit
So when are you going to adopt the letourneau idea to get those huge hatches open?
Can you define this method?
Sad i was at work and missed the live 😔
Good to have you back
According to what the dude said in the festival for the nuclear missile silo you can basically jam a daemon sea explorer yacht being 60 metres in length and fit in that silo
How about an 80 foot Galeon. ?
Those must be some expensive LED lights!
Light Tower of TERROR.
Is that it the only way to fix the water? Will be costed lots isn’t? Niko mou! Equipments setting like Hollywood landing eyes on deeper secret pool! Great!
Yeah. You have to be strategic here. Many obstacles.
yolo.
Oloy my friend
Is this a Titan2 missle silo?
This is a TITAN 1.
Oh nice, I live near an almost fully functioning titan 2 missile that they turned into a museum. It’s in Green valley Arizona
What the hell is the point in pumping the water into another silo? Why not just pump it to the surface so it can evaporate?
There is ice and deep snow at the surface Level. We have water stations underground where we move water
@@NuclearBunkerLiving You could have an outdoor hockey rink!
Three letter agencies…mainly the EPA.
Put pumps in and sell to farmers.
Been in play for some time
That water is worth 100,000k
Lots of water Michael, but cost prohibitive to sell due to transport costs.
@@NuclearBunkerLiving
use the free water as hydro fluid power generation.
