Awesome, just awesome video!
As someone who blundered into an abandoned nuclear munitions site when exploring as a kid, I can relate to the excitement and the later realization of possible dangers that might have caught me without warning. I was horryfied when 15 year-old me finally understood I was standing where a couple of years ago a big pile of nuclear bombs had been stored. Having limited knowledge of those things I left ASAP out of fear of radiation or dangerous chemicals. Only 10 years later I realized there was no danger.
Still it gives me goosebumps to think what would have happened in case of WW3 - those nuclear munitions were 155mm artillery rounds for guns stationed about 5km away from my home. Their range was about 25-35km, and the strategy of that time had them planned for almost immediate use. So I would have felt that, if I had survived at all.

My great-grandmother lived in Kenvil NJ, in the 1940s, when the Hercules Powder plant there blew up. She said it was the scariest thing she'd ever lived through. There were 3 explosions at that plant, one in 1934, 1940, and 1989. They still don't know if that explosion (1940) was an accident, or deliberately done by the Nazis or the IRA.

5:54 is just amazing. The energy; "we are making a better future together". Damn, I wish that would've come true.

Thereâs some eerie and beautiful about Tekoi. Itâs got a Chernobyl quality to it but itâs also so small and humble for the elaborate work it was doing. I love the empty filing cabinets with the folders still inside. It would be great if someone turned it into a museum. Modern history is truly fascinating especially the aerospace stuff. Thereâs this great aircraft museum outside Salem thatâs easily one of my favorite places on earth. The number of pieces they have is staggering including the worlds largest plane. They have an excellent early spacecraft exhibit and their ICBM exhibit is so cool itâs like traversing into an actual bunker.
If your ever in oregon itâs worth a trip down their you wonât regret it!

Awesome to know this stuff. I grew up in Magna, and to this day I still practice long-range shooting in Skull Valley. I live across the street from the edge of the property where the facilities still are in operation, now owned by Northrop Grumman. They also still build the SRBs for a lot of the space rockets!
