Toured it once in the early 80's when my dad was the FE at Fort Ritchie. The most fascinating thing to me was being under the building and seeing how it was connected to the mountain.
My parents met inside this mountain while in the Army. I was born in Waynesboro hospital & didn’t visit until I was an adult hiking the AT. They used to tell us anecdotes about the double blast doors.
I served inside and yes...the Blast doors existed when I was assigned there in 1975. We took a bus into the tunnel to go to work......Believe me...it was a special place..Everything you needed to live for a long time sealed in. The mess hall even had dioramas in the form of large windows so you could eat in the desert, mountains, rain forests or the beach.... I even remember (sp) Emmitsburg where we would jump from cliffs into the water filled strip mine.. Good times. now 72 and a memory for me.
I work inside that mountain back in 1979, we had everything you can think of in there. It was nothing bad about it. It was just protection for top people like the president and others. I was there for 2years. I was young just getting out high school, to me it was fun. Today looking back i feel very important to have been chosen by the u.s government to work there as young man. Something best keep to yourself.😎
Anyone here ever seen the movie “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” released in 1964? Reminds me of the “mine shaft” plan.
@@racervortex this is true. I guess if you're talking about east to west it's central but not north & south as it sits just north of the Mason-Dixon line, as you said. I lived on the military base & my Dad worked in "the mountain", Raven Rock aka Site R.
Even a modicum of research would have told you that Raven Rock is nowhere near central PA. As someone who worked there for a year, this clown obviously has never been there.
The irony in all this is that …. It’s not a secret…. In on TH-cam for crying out loud. If the day ever came where nuclear war was to occur…. Don’t you think they would drop a nuke on this place also….. 🤷🏻🤦🏻♂️ #Well Done
@@mikemclaughlin243 seriously you believe that crap no need for that we will be all charcoal after they came out to those bunkers. well on china there is bunkers for millions of citizen I honestly think it's easy just to kill this global leaders who push for war that can cause nuclear fallout if and when ww3 happen people of the world will realize this kind of shit and this world leader will probably killed by there own citizen.

How far under Fort Ritchie do the structures permeate the mountain?
Well?
"Let's keep this nice and simple. You're going to tell me the code for that Purifier, and you're going to tell me now."
I like to think he took super Rad X and that is how he survives the purifier.
My husband and I worked in site R in the late 60's while in the Army. I guess that's about all I can say. Fascinating place to work.
My Dad did too.
LOL there is nothing to hide, stop it please lol
@@KennethDAstonJr Oh yeah there is. And you are one of those people we keep it from :)
This is to save themselves. Not the people
Best duty station I worked in my Army career!
I got to go inside as a child because my dad worked there and they were having a thanksgiving thing. I was like 3 but remember the doors vividly.
You think they’d let you in now?
It's a beautiful place, wish I could tell you more.

@@kurts7913 I showed this post to my dad and he said “100% of that is accurate. ...I just wish he would have mentioned the racket ball court”
My Dad worked in it & I was also born in Waynesboro. I was inside on Thanksgiving's but I was so young that I don't remember much.

In case someone asks, I never saw or heard of this video
The only guy worth interviewing here was the author. Everyone else either didn't know or wasn't allowed to discuss anything.
There is nothing going on but WORK lol

Why Fairfield??? Blue Ridge Summit is at most two miles away. As is Highfield Md.
Like the pentagon that place probably has 100 nukes pointed at it. Only the Montana nuclear fields have more nukes pointed at them.
Damn enclave
LOL
a short hike up to the Monterey peak observation deck. you can use binoculars and look right at one entrace tunnel.
Stop saying this area is "Central Pennsylvania". The REAL Central Pennsylvania is 3 hours from there!
This isn't even on the PA side of the Mason-Dixon line.

@@billgossert7175 it is. Idiot.
It’s south central PA, look at a map, where most idiots think south central PA is is closer to Philly and Lancaster ...but that’s always been wrong.
@@billgossert7175 Wouldn't that make it Maryland?
You forgot to ask about the StarGate they have hidden in there. We saw it on the family day visit back when my dad worked there. haha...
BAH...Everyone knows that hidden at the Cheyenne Mountain Complex :)
Do they have a zorch zeus too?
The broom closet lol
If used you can bet me and my crew will be waiting when they come out.
Anybody do an audit here yet?

Kurt, your name sounds awfully familiar. I was there in 87-89.
@@racervortex the name sounds familiar.
Exactly. You could practically throw a rock and it would land on the Maryland side.
And you realize it’s not for nukes
Dad said , during Cold War, if nuclear war happens, best to stay outside then try to live when it’s over.
Built by Vault Tech.
I was there to long time
Fully Staffed?
Pentagon police... back in the day it was Army MPs... been there.. done that
The town would be a target if site R is there
me reading this comment sitting in my homies bedroom right next to the mountain like 👁👄👁
My Step-Grandfather worked here, my Grandfather was Black Ops... Alphabet agencies, if you're reading this... I'd *love* to get recruited, already.
Trying too hard IMO
@@benjamindalton8940 Trying? I’m not even giving half of my effort. Too much apathy.
Not that rock you missed it you just said that's Easton PA
💯❗

At least America will survive if we don’t
And that's a good thing to you? Smh
Bk T•R•I•B•E America would be the world’s only hope at restoring peace and order to the world
