Last time I went I only took 2 bars but I think I'm gonna go twice that next time. I also said hi to Elvis, Tupac and Jimmy Hoffa they were all hanging out playing "Go Fish".

Imagine how many yards of earth was removed or displaced to mine all that gold.

James bond saved this place !!#007 the legend

No one has ever broken into Fort Knox because they know there's nothing worth stealing.

The concerns were valid. The Bretton Woods agreement states the USA paid 30% of all subscriptions and it was paid in Gold during the 1950's. That would eat a lot of gold up.

I remember that day. This event was featured in an article in the FK base newspaper called Inside the Turret. I lived just a short distance from the gold depository on the corner of Bullion Blvd and Oakland Ave.

Like a fucking elementary field trip

I can think of two places with more extreme security than Fort Knox: Atlanta federal center of disease control and a Google data server farm. Loosing a few gold bars is one thing but it would not be as bad as a deadly highly contagious disease set loose on the population or a complete national scale server crash costing trillions.

33 is the magic number

One of these compartments holds roughly $23.2B.😱

For those who visited Fort Knox in 2017, where there any differences from the video to today? Is the sign still there?

That dude lifted a gold BRICK (not bar) with 4 fingers... Thumb and middle on each hand. There is NO fucking way that is real gold. That shit would be pretty damn heavy, and most likely require both hands; and some back muscle to lift. I don't think we're as rich as we claim to be as a nation... Even though that gold belongs to private banks, not the USA.

So… that same gold is worth $24 trillion now? We could basically pay off our national debt and have an empty room. I’m imagining the reason the government doesn’t do that is because the interest rates for borrowing money have generally been lower than the appreciation value of gold. This makes me much less concerned about the US debt knowing just one room can pay it off.

Used to live right behind there in the 80's. Could open the back door and it's sitting there. Have pictures to prove it and I was only like 10, 11 something.

Lots of double-knit--and love those haircuts!

Sooooo, if the members of OUR Congress have to struggle to get in there, then who is in charge of this vault and who do they answer to??

I'm convinced that fort knox has no gold and all they been doing for years is protecting the myth that gold is there, I'm pretty sure at 1 point they had gold in the vaults but this clip lets me know that what they showed in 1974 is not real gold but tungsten bars,another give away is look how they are handling the bars

There's another video on you tube that all the gold bars had a serial number clearly embossed on one end the end facing out. Not one of these bars had any serial number, why is that?

Forty forty knocks

There are other vaults that are not open to the public.

My first question…. Whose Gold was it?

Hello

I have finished watching this video completely. (我看完這部影片了) I am a Taiwanese who cares about the global affairs. (我是一個關心全球事務的台灣人) And, sadly, most of my fellow Taiwanese don't really care about the world. (但是，很不幸地，我大部分的台灣同胞不那麼在意世界。) Hopefully Taiwan can become increasingly globally-aware and globally-competitive. (希望台灣可以越來越有全球意識與全球競爭力。) God bless Taiwan. (天佑台灣。)

At 3.22 he cuts out. It was what??

Saw in Goldfinger.

This was 1974. Crazy conspiracy theorist are as American as apple pie.

Perhaps there is something else in the vault....

Is that it?!!! I was expecting it to look like it did in Goldfinger, all shiny and made of steel. Instead it just looks like someones spare room with fake gold bars in!!!

Coober Pedy opal south Australia

Yea, just one vault and thats it !!!!

"12 billion ounces"?💀

We're is gold paint used on our planet??????????

At 2:16 you can hear "almost 12 billion ounces" which is incorrect, the ounces are almost 12 million

You can see the gold plating wearing off on some of the Tungsten bars.

No one can not go into the fort

alast afters preparations and coverage of things that were never to be seen, ft knox was opened in 1974 for the furat and lost time

They should of not released this information to public ever it's like top secrete information wow

Und unter Palmtrees trip ich in Marcella

Idk why it matters if there is or isn't gold there.

So funny, look at the weapons the guards have, @ the 0:42 mark, looks like 1930s submachine guns wt hell?

400 million??!! That ain’t jack!! Why waste time on that little! That ain’t gonna do nothing then or now!! If you’re guarding billions upon billions it’s a total waste of time!! Heck nowadays billions isn’t really anything!!

Only a half billion dollars in Ft. Knox...thats bullshit

7000 dollar Gold finder technology not cheap!!!

I wonder if they do buy one get one free on gold, lol.

That’s the stuff dreams are made of

One of those bars is easily 20 lbs or more...yet they lift it like is 5 lbs...just saying

The year Connie Francis' career ended.

a gold bar of that size would weigh a lot and they wouldn't have been able to handle it that easily. fools gold is what that was.

Crock of not gold.

Spidergrandmother

I don’t think so much money and effort would be put into protecting this place 24/7 (insane amount of security that is costly), if it wasn’t the real thing stored there and still there!!. We can always doubt and question things, but all the signs point to the fact that is the real thing. It is possible that what we saw in the video could have been for show and the real thing was somewhere else in the facility for security purposes. But still, what we saw if that was the case probably still represents what was really there at that time. However, this was not just reporters, but Congress members that were there holding the gold bars. I say it was the real deal, someone would realize something isn’t right. They were weighing and measuring. At the end of the day I just think that you don’t put a lot of costly security in place unless there is something major to protect, and this security was amped up big time after 9/11.

Diamond is fake that's bad!!!

Im going to vaporize these gold reserves into nothing

Wtf is that junk scale

today 20% fake bullions filled with tungsten ;)
