Penhold Diefenbunker Bunker Tour

[@djteako]

What I think most people don't realize, is this bunker, and many like it, were actually decoys! The real government continuity bunker is in Edmonton, just a few blocks from the legislature grounds. It is still there, and still active today. This bunker a CFB penhold was a "plausible target" The Russians new exactly where its location was, and what its function was, and therefore was a target. It is strategically located far enough away from the actual facility so that a "hit" would not damage the real one, as there isn't a bunker out there that can survive a direct nuclear strike, except maybe Cheyanne Mountain in Colorado, and even they don't think it would survive. This particular bunker was in no way hidden - you could see it plain as day from the highway, and could walk right up to the outer fence when it was in operation, without anyone even questioning you (I know, because I did it as a kid in the 70's - grew up right close by to it)

I visited the Diefenbunker and can't believe anyone could actually live down there without losing their mind after a couple of days. The air-filtration was terrible, I can't guess what it would be like after you were sealed in for two weeks at full capacity.
