  • This week we head to a Arizona to explore a Titan 2 Underground Missile Complex. At ‘Nuclear Bunker Living’ we appreciate all your support as this journey will culminate in the acquisition and rehab of several bunker complexes across the Southwest.
    The 'Nuclear Bunker Living' You Tube series documents Nik's acquisition, exploration and renovation of America's largest and most hardened underground Nuclear Military Bunkers.

    I pulled around 250 alerts in the Titan II program as a crewmember. I was stationed at McConnell AFB back in the early 70's.

    Nice to see the silo again. I was an RPIE/FACE Electrician at the 308th. I knew you were on Level 3 where the Diesel Generated was when you came across the 3000 lbs hoist beam. I used that a couple hoist a couple times changing out the switch gear in front of the generator. It switched between commercial and generator power. Anyway, that switch gear was pretty darn heavy to replace. It was about 3ft x 3ft x2.5ft square. I recognized several other areas you walked by too. So strange seeing it again. It feels like deja vu from a dream in another lifetime. I was in my early 20's back then.

    There is a guy either in Arizona or Arkansas who has completely refurbished a T2 and has it open to the public.. He goes by, DEATH WEARS BUNNY SLIPPERS... can't remember his real name.. He could give you a great story and possibly get to spend the night in his B&B... You guys have a good one and be safe...

    I remember when this place was on Zillow for $200k. They got a killer deal. The #2 site on the map which is just east of Benson off of I-10 sold for $440k just a few years later.

      It’s fairly useless as it’s compromised. It also lacks a silo

    • @vertihvost7675

      There is still a lot of exposed asbestos in the museum in Sahuarita. I took few pictures when I was there. They don’t do any maintenance just collect the cash.
      Also the smell inside of that museum silo is absolutely horrible (not because of asbestos ).
      The tour guide didn’t allow to walk around and it was so crowded that I basically didn’t have time to explore.
      I don’t understand how something like this is even allowed to be open to public. It needs ti be stripped from all the original paint and asbestos, be PROPERLY ventilated and then we can have a conversation
