For anyone who is wondering about the fallout shelter....I, too, once had the same curiosity as I live in the south and I attended a small town middle school. Located beside the middle school, there was a big, old, dilapidated high school. It had not been used for many years because a new high school had been built further out of town. Anyway, there were signs posted outside of the seemingly shabby and forgotten high school that said, "fallout shelter," and I was always fascinated by what that could possibly mean, so I was always asking my mother to explain it to me as a child. I wanted so much to see what it looked like, but I never found out. I only ever saw some classrooms on the first floor where we had wood shop, art, home economics, and music class in my early years of middle school, until the staff realized that the building was not fit/safe to have students and teachers in. However, my town continued to try to use the auditorium in the building for a couple of entertainment events in the coming years, which was probably not the best idea because the seats were all made out of wood (imagine movie theater seats) and many of them were broken down beyond repair. I didn't try to venture out of the auditorium and into the hallway because I was told the floor had collapsed and that there was a gaping hole. Anyway, the building was considered to be historical to the community, so after many years without a realized purpose, it was renovated into apartments and an assembly hall; and has undergone some more technical/legal changes, and now belongs to a local university. The assembly hall is being used by their department of music. They were able to keep the building's vintage appearance intact on the outside, I'm pleased to say, although I believe they did get rid of the old fallout shelter placards. So, finally, after all of my ramblings, this is what a fallout shelter was, for those like myself who saw the signs and didn't know. "Back during the Cold War, when the U.S. and the Soviet Union were in a superpower battle for influence around the globe, the threat of nuclear war was a given that many around the world lived with. In response, fallout shelters were built across the United States. Placed in apartment buildings, offices or schools by the federal Office of Civil Defense, these were the places where Americans were to go to take temporary shelter in case of a nuclear attack."

Cool video as always. It's weird though why was school abandoned 2008 that not long ago in my mind it's a feeling of this place was open operational then just left to decay forgotten about. So sad because its wastful.
