What would happen if a nuclear bomb went off? I've always wanted to know what it's like living in a bunker So I'm going into one for 24 hours But I wish the story started there It's 4:30 in the morning We're going to the airport It's quite hard to wake up early, but to travel the US car is not always the best option Distances are very long and, although I'm not going far from LA I'm still at about 20 hours by car I've gotten in touch with a person who has a bunker that was built during the Cold War in New Mexico and although it's not our final destination, we flew out to Albuquerque Albuquerque doesn't have many things but you may recognize this restaurant behind me If you know it, say it in the comments Let's rent a car We already have our car And now, 3 hours to our first stop Wait, this car is not as good as the last time I've had to stop for some coffee It's the second in the day, and it's 10 in the morning. What a day Let me explain the plan.
Right now we're heading to Roswell which is a very well known city, because in this city there was an accident that created one of the biggest conspiracies there is about the United States but anyway, I'll explain this later But before, I think one of the most important things I have to buy is water because for my food I have another plan Let's see, water, water. . .
No, no, no This one We're in Roswell, and the bunker we're going to is outside the city I've just parked in the middle of nowhere because the owner of this bunker has given me instructions This is pretty far from Roswell, about 20 minutes away In certain mile, I have to see a specific signs by the side of it there should be two water tanks and from that I have to continue and then I'd see the bunker We got to the entrance of the bunker, and from the outside this is crazy Since I'll be here almost 24 hours, I'll need some food and I've thought that to make it a bit more special and simulating what could be a nuclear disaster I've bought a couple of military food menus to eat today Let's go in This is the place where I'll stay 24 hours, we are in the bunker I don't know if I like it or if I'm scared of staying here alone When I say this is huge, I mean it is huge and I still haven't told you that this place has a silo basically, a place where they kept a missile with a nuclear warhead but I'll show you that later I think this is a perfect moment to give you a house tour. . .
or bunker tour Let's start by the entrance, you can see the door is like a giant latch You can see from the outside, the entrance is already going down This is the ventilation system so we have oxygen below Let me breathe some fresh air and see some light before going in this place I'll miss it Right now, nobody can come in from the outside Here we have a few emergency kits and we start slowly going down The bunker itself is not too deep, but the silo goes down, 60, 70 meters In fact, you're seeing the layout of this bunker in your screen What I'll show you know is all this part and then we'll go down this part. It will be crazy In the entrance we have our partner which soon you'll know why he's here We're really entering a military facility All these doors here were for safety we found many in the bunker This weighs a lot, it's very hard to move And this is the last door before reaching the stairs Through that way we go to the silo and here. .
. to the apartment, so to speak Where I am now was the command center but they've converted it into an apartment so let's say this part is my apartment This is the entrance and you can see here two closets, which aren't closets In fact it's the water system If we turn, we have our apartment This here is my room I don't know if I have high expectations of the mattress being comfortable not really comfortable, but enough to survive a nuclear bomb Wow! Not bad!
Pretty good On that side we have the bathroom which even looks luxurious, very good And here we have the large part which is the living room and a kitchen over here When this was operational, these walls were not here This is like a decoration If you see up here, this is empty This was an empty space but what they did is add walls to make it feel homely but at the same time keeping the essence, because if I opened this door here we can see what the place was like really Check out all the walls we see here, and we can see how we're on a platform which is floating, there is a precipice down here and this was built this way in case there was an explosion so this place could hold just moving around a bit, because the owner of this bunker was from the military and he participated in the mission to dismantle the missile and silo in this bunker This is the perfect moment to tell you I'm giving away 500 Euros to one of you if we reach 2 million subscribers before March 1st I know it's rather complicated, there are just a few days left but there are many of you out there who are not subscribed and could win 500 Euros These lights you see here are never turned off because if for some reason there was a power outage, you wouldn't see anything We'd be completely in the dark I love that my room has a TV, a DVD player and nuclear disaster movies that I can watch tonight to see what won't happen to me tonight Now that I've shown you the bunker, I want to explain why Roswell is so famous Many of you may know the story, I thought it was important to explain since we were in Area 51 explaining part of this topic part of the conspiracies around aliens Roswell is mostly known because of the Roswell incident On July 2nd, 1947 in a ranch outside the city crashed a flying saucer, a UFO and the owner of the ranch found it, "Mac” Brazel This man decided to call the town's sheriff to report the incident and three days later he was detained by the military for 5 days of interrogation while, obviously, they got rid of any evidence showing that had happened and they forced him to say that what had crashed there was a hot air balloon which they were using to perform certain studies Basically, the world found out of this incident as just a military failure Evidently, ufologists, people who believe extraterrestrial beings visit us they started bringing out proofs and testimonies of other people from the town who said they had not only seen that flying saucer, but also others landing and they'd even seen gray, 1,5 meters tall beings that the military people had caught to experiment on them In fact, many years later, there was a person who claimed to have an original tape of those experiments they were performing on aliens and they claimed he was the cameraman of these experiments and that he kept a copy of the negatives of that film In fact, it was published, it's what you're seeing right now Simply, like most of these things, it was debunked even Kodak, the manufacturers of the film with which they'd recorded that, said that it was impossible because the film with which he had recorded didn't coincide with the film that was being sold at the time Evidently, Roswell as a city has wanted to make the most of this to ambient the entire city around what happened back in 1947 In fact, yesterday I was visiting it, you can see it in my secondary channel here where I'll show you in depth all the culture around this incident, because it's crazy Let's eat. I have these two menus, one is spaghetti with meat and the other is a chicken burrito bowl. I think I'll have the spaghetti I never ate something like this before but it's supposed to be military approved These things are supposed to be eaten in the battlefield so it shouldn't be too hard to prepare We have a lot of stuff Let's sort everything out.
It seems a bit hard to do This is a warmer, I have to fill it up to here I have to turn this and it's supposed to heat It's hot! It burns I'll get this in Now I have to hold it like this for 10 minutes so the spaghetti heats I thought this wouldn't work but can you hear that or not? By the way, it comes with a complete menu from what I see I'm so hungry, I hope it's edible I want to try to play the role of a nuclear catastrophe and me being forced here If it's just barely edible, I'll be happy Hmm, it smells very nice Oh.
I don't know if you can see it's full of spaghetti there It's not cold It's not hot either. . .
But it's pretty good I could easily survive on this It's a bit dense It palls a bit but I guess I have to eat as quick as possible while being nutritious It's really good The spaghetti is finished and now we'll try this, which is an Italian bread I have a big chunk, it's pretty doughy I'll split it into pieces It's quite bland, really but I'm pretty sure this here is cheese like it was some sort of cheddar cheese Let's see how it is with this I'm following a completely incoherent order It comes with a package full of raisins I'm not a fan of raisins but I know they give a lot of energy, so I'll save it for breakfast tomorrow A giant chocolate cookie I'm enjoying it like I was at a one Michelin star restaurant Holy crap! It's one of the best packaged cookies I've eaten Surviving a nuclear catastrophe is not that bad Now, with a full belly, it's time to see the silo This place is even deeper before reaching the door where they kept the nuclear missile And here we have the entrance You can't imagine how heavy this is This door weighs 4 tonnes This aisle separating the bunker from the silo is amazing It's crazy. It's so weird for me that this is my house today All this is for me, I'm alone here You can't tell me this is freaking crazy Incredible God, what is this?
I think this is impossible to see on camera, but here I have a precipice of over 60 meters and here they kept one of the 72 Atlas missiles which were created during the Cold War they had against Russia It wasn't a normal missile. It had a nuclear warhead and was always threatening Russia I'm sleeping at a place which is pure history As you can see, it's completely torn apart and this is because it was dismantled many years ago and it was abandoned for many years too That's why we can see graffiti from people who explored it before but if you see the platforms, many of them are destroyed You can even see below a fallen spiral staircase that was used to reach these different levels The missile was obviously kept in here and when they had to use it, they opened these two doors up and each of them weighs 75 tonnes I wouldn't like to be trapped in here A lot of space to sleep in here In here it's so cold Anyway, we've contacted the owner of the bunker to explain some more They built 72 places like this one around the United States and this operation costed 62 billion dollars and they were used for two years Not just that, building one of these costed 22 million dollars Obviously this has made me curious because when they stopped being used the US government put them for sale in auction and Gary bought this one and two more for $55. 000 each $22 million was the cost to build them This place is supposed to resist a nuclear attack In theory, yes.
This place was designed to resist 4 megatons For reference, the Hiroshima bomb was 16 kilotons One megaton is one thousand kilotons So it's designed for it I mean, it's a good bunker The column we have here for support it really doesn't need that support for the roof I don't even know what time it is Time passes quite slowly here alone Being in this place feels a bit like being in a movie set like I was being recorded in secret In fact, here you can see me reading, but I'm not really reading or here I'm working out and I'm really stepping on a chair I like these chairs, they're very American I've even tried to watch one of the films they left me and I've noticed one of them was in 3D THE ATOMIC BOMB MOVIE It really isn't in 3D, I don't know why they've given me the glasses but I wanted to wear them because. . .
They're cool I don't know how to pass time anymore Let's see how the bunker looks from the outside at night I think this would probably be the worst decision in a nuclear situation This looks like something out of a horror movie It's incredible. Let's go back inside I'm going to bed I'm closing the door like it was good for anything This place doesn't have a ceiling Really, I'm not lying, this doesn't have a ceiling All this here is hollow, there's the living room, I can see it We'll see you in the morning, bye Good morning It's true that being a closed out place with orange, dim lights you lose sense of time I really feel disorientated and I haven't been that long in here It's very cold here, though and it's a weird cold, like being in a cave Doing this alone gives you time to think and time to be bored, which is something very important that lately we have forgotten how to do I think that it's important to disconnect every once in a while I mean, it's not necessary to do it in a bunker You can do it at home This is the end of this video Goodbye, subscribe to the channel and see you soon Bye bye!
