When the noise starts up after pressing the button his face briefly says, "Oh fuck, have I just been pranked into destroying my own country?"

Man, even knowing the whole system was decommissioned, pushing the button to end the world must have felt surreal.

searchoverload8 it’s happened a lot more than you would think one of the worst ones was in the late 70s where a nuclear missile radar stationed at the NORAD headquarters picked up the launch of 250 Soviet nuclear missiles towards the US which was really just a glitch in the system but the president was alerted and all bomber squadrons were scrambled and awaiting orders and the ICBM crews were prepared to launch then the computer glitched and said that 2,200 missiles had been launched and the president was about to give a go before it was determined that someone had accidentally loaded a training scenario into the computer So yea we could’ve ended the world on more than one occasion
@iamwepty8986 6 жыл бұрын
searchoverload8 also following that up I’m pretty sure the most recent major one was when the US lost control of 50 of their ICBMs that we’re still stationed in there silos and they feared that they had been hacked in attempt to gain control of them which is terrifying when you think about it
@iamwepty8986 6 жыл бұрын
14wolfboy83 they were literally a minute away from launching the missiles and giving the bombers the go ahead in the NORAD incident imagine if it took them 2 extra minutes to figure out it was a glitch and all the missiles had already been fired Honestly scary

Deactivated? Put a missile and the silo and that action would have fired it, I think. They just removed the "bullet from the chamber" so to speak. The trigger mechanism was, as you could see, fully operational. Similar to some of the power systems and such.

Lobos222 no, they disable the missile keys and firing systems when they deactivate the bases as part of the treaty, it’s simply some fancy electronics to simulate the proper lights and sounds.

Man - that guide was super chill talking about murder and suicide, it's kind of nice in a way giving perspective to the fact that this was a location for death dealing. A good personal tour which was pretty unique. I wonder if the tours get groups or not since it'd be difficult to have more than a person with them it looked.

@@Phished123 A whole country? The whole world more like. Mutually assured destruction is a thing, you know. Do you really think the attacked country (i.e. the US) would just go 'okay, we are about to lose half a country, but that's totally cool with us, we're just gonna sit here and watch the Soviet Union wipe our country off the face of the Earth'? No. Once Nuclear War starts, Nuclear War goes on. Once you've pressed that button, there is no way back. This fact has kept an almost certain Third World War from happening for the duration of the Cold War, and it still keeps us at peace now. Countries know that by destroying 'a whole country', they are destroying an entire world.

Very good video! As a former US Nuclear Missile Launch Officer (MMIII-CDB) in the mid 1980's, I can tell you that our systems were not really that different. An older US (1960's) system, the Titan II in Green Valley, AZ, has a museum very similar to the Soviet one in this video. We had about a 6 month supply of C-Rations and water. I am one of the few missile guys who got a peek inside our launch console. I saw two small tanks (like oxygen tanks) pointing towards an exit area in the console. They were unmarked. We argued over the purpose of these tanks for years. The final consensus was that they were poison gas tanks that were activated when all our missiles were launched. We knew we would die one way or the other!

Yeah, but what can you really do about it? Everyone would have to unilaterally agree to never use or have any and there's always going to be some third world dictator or whoever else that won't agree, so all you can really do is keep them in check with your own nukes and make it a bad idea for them to use theirs. Defense systems for shooting down nuclear weapons aren't anywhere near to the level that they would have to be in order to guarantee protection, even the current best ones in the world would be quickly overwhelmed in the first strike, never mind any followup ones.
