Super grateful for all your new uploads, they're great. btw I love that little call-out 'if your ship is hit by our missile, please take it up with the navy'
Interesting how this period safety film has a bit of a tongue-in-cheek tone about the missile safety….”chemicals left on your clothes may make you combustible around a cigarette “
🤣 The other Nuclear Vault videos are great. I just watched one where the kids were "acting" about how "CRAZY" the whole, living in constant fear of nuclear weapons is, and the parents trying to reassure them, lol. Why do kids seem smarter than adults, no matter the times?
It was an honor to work at Vandenberg A.F.B. fire department. I retired in 2002...Sure do miss serving my country.
My Uncle Jerry, who worked on the Thor missile, attended one of the launches where the missile blew up about 150 feet after liftoff, and he and 14 others jumped into his car to evade any falling debris.
love these old films......growning up by Cape Canaveral in the 50's, I got to see many launches.......and now they are launching about every week, sometimes 2 in a week......lovely
"Move along, people. Nothing to see here." =P
The Missile Flight Safety Officer’s flavorsaver is a garshdang trip hazard! Police up them mustache hairs!
aaaaaaaa yes cigerattes and liquid nitrogen. Good ol 50s and 60s brill cream bad breath cigarettes' and lots of booze nuclear war head refill here hold my cigarette i got this
This film brought back lots of cool memories. Some of those structures & buildings still existed at Vandenberg when I left back in 2005. Most of the old Atlas and Thor launch complexes are long gone, with only concrete pads left to mark where they were, with the exception of two or three Atlas launch complexes with the large metal support missile structures, they were still in place with one having been modified for early Minuteman Missile testing if I remember correctly. Most of the Reentry Vehicle training and assembly buildings were still there too. Concerning tracking and destruction, only thing that has changed is the equipment and technology has been improved, and the safety cordon's made much larger. Not sure why they used Pine Canyon Gate to bring those missiles in (From where?), but, I guess it made sense back then.
Stunning architecture, art destructo.
What's up with the FSO's hat?
This is where I was born in 1963 when my dad was a Titan maintenance tech
It is amazing how many of these issues are still common today. And now our public safety officials, namely the police, are viewed with disdain by half of the country, while some fire departments cannot even feel safe entering half of our cities neighborhoods. Politics trumps safety every time.
Well, that’s what you get when your population decides to go on regular summer riots. First it was the blacks, now your anti vaxxers, what next?
Your country is a joke to the rest of us. There’s a reason why only the desperate immigrate to America

Kind of neat referring to thermonuclear war as, "the big show."
Have a good day
Thanks Shahzad you too
I wonder how many of the people in this video are still living.
As a dependent on Vandenberg, I loved living on Vandenberg..My Father was a Missle Crewman.. The only thing I didn't like, was when he had to go TDY to Johnston Island .
Imagine if we could overcome gravity at the fundamental level. I know it's probably impossible but fun to think about.
Don't drop the wrench on the Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile.....
this is ironic..i'm watching Perry Mason ...on the episode i'm watching is filmed at vandenburg afb...the show is called . misguided missile ...1961
Seria possível vocês disponibilizarem legendas em português nos vídeos? Vocês tem um público grande aqui no brasil
Nice music @ the end; that blunt mother 3-holer Atlas has always been my favorite, tho' Thor is a pretty lil' devil 💜. A bursting Titan looks like the benchmark 4 conventional explosions, Yippee!
Heightened Awareness at Vandenberg...Film footage scenes wide scope with riveting silo tower rocket launch fails...System Safety showcase..Heavy duty high output fluid pumps and Nozzles same as on the rockets themselves!! Film is never boring and has slightly humorous content for its extremely dangerous subjects....
I'm so glad I quit smoking cigarettes... smh...
All that money spend in place to fight poverty and educate people
I lived in Lompoc back in 2005.
Remember asking the beach attendant about the bunkers everywhere at the beach.
She said the men would hide inside them in case a missile exploded an on one case there was a miss fire and crash at Vandenberg missile base.
As at one time going to be used to launch the space shuttle as a emergency site/ alternate launch area but was not completed.
Surf Beach? Those were from WWII, in case Japanese troops landed.
Thanks!'😃
Thank you!
thank - you
Space Force !
mmmmm....
What year did they remove armed icbm at this base?
That's classified...
If they told you they would have to purge you. 😉
It never was an armed base. But there were nuclear silos all over the country.
@@Forensource I thought they had some armed missiles there. At some point than it went all in for testing only.
1964, when Atlas was taken off alert. They actually only had a couple on alert, almost all the pads and rockets were used for testing and training.
I believe this was filmed in 1960
I agree. The car with the "wayward spectators" was a 1959 Ford Custom 300.
@@58fins yep. Saw a 1960 Ford too.
Awesome
