Hearing how much just your voice resonates in there, imagine how loud it must have been when the tunnel was worked and then the explosions!! Crazy loud.
From a website I found about the tunnel, it seems that the side openings you found were where the explosive tests were done. The beam at the top on each one was a rail to support the explosives which were brought in on the tracks, and at the end of the side tunnels there was a 6ft sphere cut into the wall. The explosives were put inside, behind a bolted on steel cover and then the opening was packed with sandbags to contain the explosion.
@@Cornishmaid67 that’s impressive, thank you for sharing this. The spheres were only small though, around 4ft or so… But it does make a lot of sense. I will have to try and find the website you found to read up. Thank you
@@MildaGoesWild hey Milda, after reading articles online it’s hard to tell. I’m guessing there is no radiation inside. I should of took a Geiger counter with me. It’s a possibility the bombs that were being tested were non radioactive and a demo for seeing if the enemy could pick up on seismic activity for future nuclear testing.
@cornishxplora that would make sense, otherwise it seems a bit unlikely they'd leave it accessible. I'm still too terrified of the possibility to even go near.
@@stuartpillar7117 I did mine on a cup tea and a toasted cheese and ham sandwich. Water was also clear just didn’t have the cheese and ham come down. 😅

Fantastic & fascinating video 👍 🙂
Great video.....visited there 20 yrs ago ....🎉
@@davependrill2897 amazing place.
Thank you
@@cornishxplora would love to visit again if you are available.
@@davependrill2897 that can be arranged no problem at all. Message me on Instagram Cornish_xplora
Looks like they have treated it to a new gate
So would it not be still radioactive if used for nuclear explosions..?
