What It Was Like to Be In a Presidential Nuclear War Bunker

- The US government seems to know far too much about its citizens, so it's disturbing to realize how little citizens know about the governing body. Learning what happens inside presidential bunkers and where the president would go during a nuclear attack is useful information, though.
These bunkers were built in the middle of the 20th century, largely as a response to the mounting nuclear panic that accompanied the Cold War. Raven Rock, built in 1951, was one of the predominant shelters. From the underground city at the Raven Rock Mountain Complex in Pennsylvania, to the Greenbrier Bunker that's hidden in plain sight under a luxury resort in West Virginia, to the top-secret NORAD lair at Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado, these bunkers are incredibly secure.

I’ve played enough fallout to know you must take out the overseer first.
War.. war never changes.
Oh yeah How do you like fallout76😂😂😂
Agreed
Dah Poe don’t even start 😂😂
I wish the VATS system was real.
The people who can get access into a nuclear bunker are absolutely the last people that should be rebuilding humanity. Funny how that works...
Also to lead the country. What country? Everyone either died or is dying. It's the day after all over again. Government comes out 3 weeks or so after the nuclear holocaust and just starts barking orders like people are gonna suddenly listen lol.
@@fumothfan9 I think it’s more likely they would be ordering remaining military either to continue the war or to obtain remaining resources and then start reconstruction procedures
I’d personally would rather die, than have to witness all the death and destruction. Let the rats have their bunkers, their lives won’t have much quality left to it.
For real
OK who should some guy named Jim in NY who makes bathrooms for a living or people with actual political and scientific skills
The weird part is that the system is designed to save the people that cause the mess to begin with.
What mess?
@@blugaledoh2669 Nuclear war, you know what the bunkers were made for.
@@ianwaynemcdonald accident could always happen beside the aftermath there will still be alive so it make sense to keep our political, military, and other necessary personnel alive.
@@blugaledoh2669 yeah Nd us public dies
@Former Anything underground bunker? I don't know.
It doesn’t matter who you are, or how much money you have in the Bank. Can’t hide from the Grim Reaper forever.
But… you can run
I'm doing a pretty good job at that

Some hide behind some form of a God, but the end is the same. Unknown and done.
@@michafaine2433 most religions give people hope (false or not is up to you to decide) that the 'end' isn't THE end for you... I like to think that we just return to space, as Carl Sagan said, "we are made of star stuff".
Two things:
1. Everything here sounds like something the Enclave would do.
2. Of course the government has a subway in a nuclear bunker.
You realise the Subway is there for the employees currently working there. It wouldn’t be functioning after an actual Attack. Many fast food chains have contracts to operate in and on military facilities.
@@kevinwebster7868 * It's a joke*
It is a joke
President Eden would like to have a word with you.
Raven Rock is LITERALLY in Fallout 3. Run by the Enclave. So yeah.
Almost the entirety of congress would have no problem today abandoning their families to nuclear Armageddon to stay in a state bunker.
Maybe Rand Paul. I hear he is a good man.
Hopefully they are the first ones taken out.
If offered a chance, most of them would sell there families to save themselves anyway.
@@jackrussell680 I think you may have misquoted, they already sold their families, they are just reaping their investments return until the next investment opportunity comes along.
I’ll light the flaming bag of poop and knock on the door
My grandfather worked for AT&T & was given a security clearance to help with wiring the Greenbriar bunker. He never discussed it since he took an oath of secrecy & the project was classified as Top Secret until the bunker was officially declassified. Once he could talk about it he told us how there was a switchboard for incoming calls where an operator answered the calls a certain way depending on which line lit up. One line would be answered as AT&T, another line would be answered as Greenbriar Hotel, ect. all while being operated from the same operator & switchboard.
My dad told me how he accompanied my grandfather on a different occasion to a job site where he needed to pick something up. There was a building the size of a shed room at the edge of a field that the went into. They descended down a spiral staircase & at the bottom was a larger area in which there was a pretty large blast door that was opened & led down a long hallway. He had to stay there at the doors while my grandfather went & did whatever it was that he needed to do. So there are a lot of places in which things aren't what they appear to be! I can only imagine what's out there now with all of the technology we currently have.
Cool
protection for the most despicable among us.
This is a very frustrating video to watch. How many 100s of billions went into all this? How many millions are going into upkeep every year? N now we're getting ready to expand the arsenal. So damn stupid
I wanna puke

My grand father helped on the design of the doors at Cheyenne Mountain.
ok

Oh yeah and my grandfather created peanut butter
Oh yea and my grandfather was the first person to ever smoke crack
My grand papi is the guy narrating this documentary
They actually modeled the green briar bunker and hotel in fall out 76
No one wants to think of that disgrace
They had some type of early gameplay thing there too
That’s awesome!!😂😂
Sounds like a well developed game.
@@hairyheartsmith8513 lol if only they did well in the hotel and bunker model but that's about all
I'd rather be blown to pieces than be stuck eating Subway in a bunker for decades...
with co-workers, not even your family.
i would not mind subway what would make me mind is that most of those bunkers are suppose to last only a couple month so if a real war happens its going to take years maybe 25 to 50 years if a nuclear winter happens and if a bomb drops on it'ts going to take million of years for the rads to get low enough to go outside for a few mins sooo yeah i would rather be in space then in there
@@hunterbear2421 nah, the radiation would mostly be settled by 2 weeks. look at nagasaki and hiroshima
@@internetexplorer7303 i know it would only take a few weeks but if enough bombs drop for nuclear winter happens then most likey it will take millions or thousands for it get back when the bombs droped
@@hunterbear2421 nuke winter just means dust is blocking out the sun, it doesnt mean radiation is rampant
How on earth can you leave your kids and wife/husband , and seek safety for yourself in that bunker. Crazy.🤯
there comes a time everything is useless
Did you expect anything better from politicians?
I'm more worried about the bunker entrances collapsing and thus being stuck in a well-sealed coffin.
I'd be more worried about those places being main targets of strikes.
Anyone who would disown their family to die without them so they can live in a place like this...well....I think that collapsing the entrance and sealing them in is quite fitting
@@comedianmattrossey Good point, I couldn't get into a bunker without my friends or family. Enjoy your super coffins, assholes!
It was expected that a significant number of people would not go to the bunker and would choose to die with their families.
Yer if anybody has seen the excellent nuclear war film set in the UK called threads, it really accurately depicts all the problems. Civilian gov officials are trapped inside their bunker by debris and when they finally remove all the rubble they find them inside having suffocated..
I would absolutely hate being stuck here. Especially if it was like a Wal-Mart. Nightmare
Walmart but without the 500 pound lady’s with little clothing on the electric carts

That picture of Walmart got me laughing so hard I ALMOST pee myself 😳😂

Failed Star Wars missile program?
OMG LOL Ive always laughed at this concept. I for one would never want to live the rest of my life in one of these places. Which make no mistake its a awful prison, with no hope of release and if you do get released its to a doomed world. NO THANKS. Id rather lie under the missile and smile.
My thoughts exactly.
You are my kind of people!
Thats what I'm saying, imagine chernobyl worldwide. No thanks, I'd rather have it fall outside my window. I would like to be a fly on the wall in the bunker tho. Just to see how quickly our "leaders " would start to turn on one another. I'd give em 5 days tops
I wonder if people ordering the building of these bunkers deep down know they are useless big coffins that will prolong their agony, but spend the money anyways to feel like they really have an alternative in case stupid confrontations hit the fan and things go nuclear (in some cases thanks to their own actions). There is no way you are going to survive living in a post-atomic warfare world unless you are previously a die-hard fan of outdoor living with minimum items. Because that's the kind of future you are going to be living in once you open the bunker again, most probably (and if you manage to do that instead of dying there like a rat).
@@eskanda3434 I admire your confidence, I must say.
This channel is goated each video gets more and more interesting
What's the point of having a department of defence if there's nothing left to defend and secondly I'd rather die with family then hiding in a hole with a bunch of cowards.
Id love to see more about NORAD, I live 30 minutes away from there but due to the security, the general public isn’t allowed. I find it super interesting

Weird history: Would you survive in a bunker after nuclear war?
Me, a Fallout expert who spent a percentage of my life playing: I'll do fine.
Doubt it
Just hook up with The Enclave at Raven Rock
unless you are the protagonist you'll just die like the rest on day 1
Patrolling these comments almost make me wish for a nuclear winter.
Keep enough Rad-X and Buffout in stock and you’ll be fine!
Feels like I am living in the 1950s listening to the radio.
Lol, totally does lol. 🙏 If you have a minute, would you please at least read my friends story here. gf.me/u/ytfn95. I know this is a long shot but, He is a great single dad who got all of his landscaping equipment stolen right in front of his house, over $4000 worth and put him out of business and completely stole his livelihood from him and his son. Now because the virus and all of the shutdowns, he is really struggling bad. It is really not cool when thieves ruin people's lives but awesome when people come together and save livelihoods. We are getting close to his goal and honestly even the smallest amounts adds up. Please at least check it out and consider. Also, please don't get upset for me posting this, I am really just trying to help a really good person that really got his whole world stolen from him and didn't have insurance, he really deserves this but, even if you don't want to, I encourage you to try and help someone if you can. If you have already helped, thanks so much
Very appropriate for our current times.
How is that? The world has never been safer.
Very appropriate for "our times"since the development of the nuclear bomb.
@@mariedavis7582
Actually no. I believe the world has never been safer. The MSM wants to scare everyone for their selfish reasons
@@Otisbear480 There is always a "Calm" if you'd even call it that, before the storm... Give it time and you'll see just how "safe" it really is.
@@Randomperson462
Where is there going to be a problem?
Cheyenne Mountain is definitely the place to duck and cover.
Raven Rock sounds like a location in a gothic novel.
I remember Raven Rock from Fallout 3.
You know right before COVID was considered a national emergency in March I was touring the Greenbrier Bunker. In hindsight I should've stayed in the bunker for a year until this all blew over.
Now a nuke war might be on the way....get back in there
Why?
Hyperbole
But what was it like to be in a 'people are protesting outside, better go and hide with a bucket of fried chicken' Presidential bunker?
This is a tragic someone forgot the BBQ sauce
Actually they started getting way too close to the White House and injured a lot of secret service agents who tried to prevent them from coming closer so they took him there for his own safety
@@cultofpersonality2002 it's a joke dude
@@quaiful7487 just making sure everyone knows what actually happened 😽
If I was president, i'd love to be on top of the White House blasting the commies with a paintball gun loaded with pepper spray.

I can’t imagine wanting to go into a bunker. In the event of a nuclear war I want to be ground zero in a first strike zone. A quick flash and it’s all over
Agreed. I would want to be with my loved ones, my Wife and kids. At that point I would truthfully no longer care about anything but them.
@@eskanda3434 Your both delusional and obviously not educated in even the slightest of ways about what a nuclear war would do to the planet.
Yeah. Much as one can say you could survive in that bunker, how lomg can you last in there when supplies run out or expire? How long before it all breaks down? Honestly, a quick death from a nuclear bomb at least spares me from a much slower death that's waiting to happen in a bunker.
@@Chinothebad basixly indefinetly. Newer concepts act like an own eco system and produce the goods that they need n
Not sure exactly how I feel about living in a bunker but I have a feeling I’m gonna find out...:0
Real life: you'd have to fight like hell to get into Raven Rock in case of nuclear war.
Fallout 3: you'd have to fight like hell to get OUT of Raven Rock.
that was one hell of a fight to get out of there.
God bless the Enclave.

*MOUNTAIN MAMAAA*
Ah ha I found you, hey 👋
The “up” music in the beginning 😂😂 it was a good pick tbh.
Wow, It’s really comforting to know that the men who start the apocalypse will THANKFULLY survive it.... thank god
Stuck in a bunker with a bunch of old Senators? Nah.

Best narrator ever. Love everything you do in this channel!
What is the song playing at the beginning
I grew up in Roanoke, Virginia, a city less than 100 miles south of Greenbrier. During the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 I told my brother that I wasn't afraid of Russian missiles because there wasn't anything within 200 miles worth bombing. He told me that I should worry there was a bunker for government officials just north of Roanoke. Apparently this big national secret was well known amongst 8th graders in a nearby small southern city.
And this is why they believe that they are better than everyone else. This should not be allowed. They have wasted untold Billions to build these. And countless Billions more to maintain them. And they never once have been used.
How many other locations are there that we don't know about ? It doesn't really cost $5,000 for a hammer or $1 million dollars for a toilet seat on a space shuttle. That money is being diverted for more places like these.
I go to the Greenbrier every summer and I love seeing the bunker and hearing the interesting facts about it
notice how the people who push the nuclear war button will be saved from the consequences?
There’s a good chance most people wouldn’t go to the bunker that are allowed in or that they’d try to bring their families and upon refusal of entry would most likely not go down willingly. For these super bunkers to work they need to include room for family members for them to be effective. Even with anti depressants I don’t imagine you’d be very mentally fit if your children and wife just died in a nuclear holocaust.
I live a few miles away from the Greenbrier bunker. My grandad helped build it and after it was done worked as a guard. The locals knew what it was but didn't say anything.
"Those who can go into a bunker and those who can't" a very familiar theme for someone who has played fallout. So art imitates life it would seem.
I doubt in the event of a nuclear attack that their would be enough time to get anyone to the bunkers. Our government doesn't handle disasters well, example: Hurricane Katrina. What's likely to happen is that we will all be vaporized and the bunkers will be empty and covered in dust. I think the whole duck and cover commercials during the cold war was stupid, teaching kids that they can survive a nuclear attack by hiding under a table or blanket. Should've taught them to put their heads between their knees and kiss their ass goodbye.
In my US public grammar school 1970s we still had regular "civil defense" drills where we had to file out of class & sit in the hallway facing the wall crouched over with hands over our necks. As I recall that practice ended after 3rd grade, & I think most of us kids knew silly, but didn't mind as somewhat entertaining :-)
YYYYUPP
True, it really won't help. I think they just did those drills because they were young kids and it wouldn't have been a good idea to tell them that nothing they do is going to work because they're going to die either way. I think that's also why they stop the drills as you get older
Am I playing fallout or watching TH-cam?
maybe a little bit of both
Quite a few years ago, in the late 70s, I was able to tour the SAC underground in Omaha, NE. My father-in-law was a Lt. Colonel at the time and worked at SAC. It was very interesting, but nothing like you see in the movies.
They do have the big screens on the wall, but the room itself was actually quite small. We were in a gallery above the main floor where the General in charge would direct operations. You have a good view from the gallery so I could see why the General would be up there. Almost all the consoles were covered though so you could not see what function they served. They have a bunch of telephones that connected directly to various installations around the world. They picked up one and it connected to a base in Alaska. They have one phone that connects directly to the Whitehouse but it wasn't red sadly. The thing that really struck me the number of military police everywhere. Not sure if that was normal or because we were down there.
I asked the guide what would happen if they had an emergency while we were down in the bunker. He said we would be escorted to a room and locked in, for our own safety. :)
What song did you use for the video during the intro?
They were afraid there wasn't a company capable of building a three-story city in the core of a mountain? Are you serious? That is half of every James Bond movie since the early 1960s, so yeah, several companies have tried to make that a reality.
Amazing.
I live about 45 mins from the greenbrier definitely a cool place to see!
thank you weird history i love your videos
1:46 "To help the situation, the infirmary bunker was heavily stocked with anti-depressants.
This scenario pretty much assured that the people making the country's decisions in the most crucial hour of an atomic war, were not only isolated and depressed, but! heavily medicated"
Hi there WH...I have a suspicion you might have missed your calling in life!! :D
.
That moment, when you know that you can be saved from a nuclear attack by safely harboring in the Cheyenne bunker, then realize you are going to have to eat food from Subway while there. ... Decisions, decisions ...
Does anybody know the name of the first background music track?
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What an insane phenomena!
Harry's Hole? Double entendre aside, that sounds like a dive bar.
Just vaporize me.
Ok
The thing is only a small population would truly be vaporized. The rest will die anywhere from days to months, and then a secondary wave years out as cancers spike.
I love this dudes voice. It’s so soothing
You know what it would suck to be the only one alive in that bunker if the war wiped out humanity
I'm going to take my chances and see if I can become a Ghoul.
See you Smoothskins later!
😄
Voice feels like fallout new vegas.
What is the music the big band is playing ( slow wals )
Great video
I just realized the green brier place is the influence for the place in fallout 76
Do a vid completely describing JFK being an absolute CHAD with the ladies
Haha I like how the tour guide in the orange helmet looks back halfway through to tell you the volume of the reservoir like he's eyeballing it.
The burning Walmart pitcher is one 5 minutes from my house lol
Am I the only one wondering why they weren’t able to bring their families to the first bunker? During the time that this would have been in use, women were far and few holding high government positions. If they did survive and continued to live, wouldn’t they want women/children to live rebuild and continue America? I mean it would die out with only men once the rest of the country is gone.
See . . . .you thought it through and came to the logical conclusion. . . .they didnt.
One imagines that there would have been much glitter and cries of "YAAASSSSSSSS BITCHES, WE ARE BACK" as the bunker was opened a few years later . . . . .
You need to watch Dr. Strangelove. Kubrick called it long before the media.
Does my storm shelter in the backyard count?
Thank you for the Great video
I love bunker docs... Would like to visit them all
Those who have survived nuclear war will have made a mistake for as when they wake up they will be in hell
I cant think of an appropriate "Harry's hole" comment so this is it.
Liking that old time radio music in the beginning.
Considering the Greenbrier is still functioning as a resort, saying it WAS a top-tier hotel is an excellent bit of unintentional(?) shade.
