At one time my dad was one of three people, and the only one in the Air Force allowed to fuel or de fuel a Titan II. The other two were civilians from the manufacturer. Even though my dad was enlisted, he had his own helicopter and pilot on call 24/7. Occasionally it would land in the field across the street in the middle of the night. If either of the hypergolic fuels went 1/2 of a PSI high or low in the missile, an alarm went off and my dad's team responded. My dad's job in the Air Force before this was as an airport fireman. The benefit of the Titan II was it was stored fueled and could launch faster than a missile that needed to be fueled.
I would very much like to see more missile complexes, like Atlas, Titan 2. Will be difficult enough I suppose, they all should have been completely destroyed but those that werent are typically privately owned and in restoration. It would be a holy grail to find a Minuteman complex that is abandoned and not destroyed! If that even exists... 🤩
there is a Titan 2 complex that was turned into a museum that you can actually visit, they have a channel on UA-cam with loads of videos explaning all of the engineering involved, it's pretty amazing.
I've seen this complex explored by other urban explorers here on YT but none of them had a graphic showing how the complex was laid out. You also included a lot of commentary and info about the history of these sites so I'm very happy to have watched this. I noticed that a couple of times, it looked like the tunnels were beginning to sag under the weight of the ground above... Was that just a distortion from your camera lens or where the tunnels starting to give way as they no longer appeared to be round? Thanks for this great journey.
Thanks again Matt🤩 I did not have the feeling these tunnels were collapsing. It’s a pretty decent build structure. And yes, I do hate the fact this one is overrun and tagged up, but since it was our only chance to see a Titan I silo. We went for one which we were sure to get into. Others I didn’t know anything about and you have to wak for miles to get there. I’ll probably go back and visit one in a better shape😁
I have to agree. I've watched a TON of videos on these titan 1 complexes for research on a project I'm developing and this is by far the clearest and highest quality video of this site I've seen even if some of the dates and dimensions were off just a little. This even blows away the Nuclearbunkerliving videos Nic did on this site just 3-4 weeks ago. (episodes 43,44,47) Matt, yes the tunnels are somewhat distorted in this complex with the antenna tunnel (the long one on the right side of the graphic) being the worst of the bunch. This particular site has had settling and water issues since it was built. I'm afraid it would take quite a bit of work to restore the tunnel structures but perhaps someday someone will put in the effort to make these structures useful in some way again.
These were build to withstand bombings. They are structurally sound & won't be going anywhere.. unless you get some idiot looters in there with a demolition saw, explosives & an air powered jackhammer. The flooded areas with metal entry devices (staircases, ladders, doors, hatches, etc.) will rust & erode before the concrete ceilings fail. And many of it is aluminum which is pretty much impervious to the elements. People who explore and tag these places are complete literal idiots. Especially when it's not directions, just random stupid sh*t. Arrows & directions is understandable. Stupid street tags is retarded. Especially when it looks like crap, which 85% of the time it does!!
This is fascinating. Living in America, there are not enough reminders of this very recent past. The generations today get looks into this via school history lessons but there's a lack of visibility into how morbid this really is. Thank you for trekking in there and sharing! Love it!
that was badass. I'm glad you enjoyed exploring Colorado, I live here and seeing these places from your perspective makes me extra happy. Stay safe, and definitely come back out!
Had a friends father who told me about exploring these silos as a kid, and it was always in the back of my mind as one of the ultimate places to see. Was very excited to hear you got a chance to stop here, alongside all your other amazing videos in CO. Thanks for the visit!
These kinds of explores, regardless of country, are always very interesting. I appreciate the details, history and in this one, the drawing that you provide as well. Quality content that keeps me coming back for more.
This place was so damn cool. I personally loved the post-apocalyptic rusty decay of the place and all of the flooded passageways which were still possible to access if you're brave enough. You knew you were visiting interesting places when the navigation became difficult and the graffiti stopped. I'd definitely watch more of these but I usually enjoy anything you guys put out.
Well done with the site map. There are very few decent Titan 1 video. Most are done by obnoxious and ignorant thrill seekers. I went under ground in one for the first time about a month ago to document my father being killed during construction. He was one of four men crushed by a 116 ton reenforced concrete silo door free falling. It is Episode 42, "A Casualty of the Cold War" on the UA-cam site "Nuclear Bunker Living". It was national news as the site was to be the first hardened ICBM pointed at the USSR at the height of the Cold War. My mother received a telegram of condolence from the Secretary of Labor and Kennedy knew about it. There was intense pressure to get the site operational.
@@thetruth7633 It is true that the accident was gruesome but we didn't talk about the rest of the story. My brothers, sister and myself have all lived full and very productive lives and have raised stable and squared away children. There is no doubt my father would be proud of all of us. He wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
@@johnross6314 This is all about honoring my father. He truly was a casualty of the Cold War. I have researched and written a lot about the Titan and there is are international, national, local, family and personal stories that the accident happened to be the event that brought them to light.
Just stumbled upon your channel, thank you so much for explaining what each part is for! This makes it 1000% more interesting than just watching someone walking through abandoned tunnels.
Just found your channel and if course I chose this offering since my Dad as a Senior Master sergeant worked in this facility and later was a missile instructor at Lowery A.F.B. in Denver.
Titan I complex is one of my favorite. I'm amazed by how much underground spaces it has. Unfortunately later models (Titan II, Minuteman) complex are usually in much worse condition, with the silo itself gets demolished due to treaty.
Thank you for sharing your exploring experience with us. Your videos are amazing and I appreciate how you have respect for where you explore. I wish people would keep their cans of spray paint at home. There is so much history that has been covered up or the doors have been closed and forgotten. Keep up the great work and stay safe. Looking forward to your future explorations.
Yes, the graffity ruins the atmosphere. Normally we try to be there before the vandals, but because this stands abandoned for so long, it’s impossible. Will return to try a better one😁
Totally reminds me of Half-Life the game and makes me realize where the games got it's location inspiration. I'm looking forward to more of this content! thanks guys!.
Me and my friends explored a few of these in the late 80s. I was able to match up some of the graffiti on the blast door on the main elevator shaft with pictures I have. Your tour was just as I remember Just with more rust and less paint. Just curious did you gain access through the hatch by the main elevator? The escape hatched at the junction between the silo was closed up shortly before we started exploring because someone fell down it. We explored another that had ground water flooding the bottom 20 feet of the elevator shaft. We did gain access to one that had very little flooding and graffiti. We got access to 3 sites all before internet. This was a great stroll down memory lane.
Thanks for exploring the silo. Hope you can make it back to the states. We have a lot of thermal power stations that have closed, hopefully some are worth exploring soon
Very cool seeing this! I live in Colorado and Heard about this place. Now seeing your guy's video it keeps me not having to go there and risk it to see! Very awesome and thank you!💯
Been down there many times while in high-school. Lived only about 5 miles away from it. Know it well. Used to bring friends down there all the time. Very creepy place to explore. Crazy to see a video of the very same places that we have explored down there so many years later.
I'm from Arkansas and we have a bunch of Titan 2 missle silos that have been decommissioned. I spent the night in one that is now an INCREDIBLE Airbnb, shout-out to Titan Ranch! The ruins of the other Titan 2 complexes are really cool, even though the ones I've been to are sealed off.
My father worked on electrical systems in silos and told me about how he hired young skinny guys to pull wire through narrow conduit passages in them. One day a pair of tubby electricians came on site telling him he had to hire them because the boys he was hiring were not licensed electricians. He took them over to a narrow conduit passage, pointed at the wire coils and encouraged them to get after it. They left the site without further protest.
this is beyond cool Bob!!!! definitely interested. when you come back to USA, try to find some more missile silos, Atlas, Titan 1/2, even Minuteman! cheers
The fascinating part is that while these missile complexes seem to be well protected underground, they actually had no significant protection against a nuclear strike. They offer protection against a nearby hit happing several miles away, purely based on the hope that a soviet strike would most likely not be a precise direct hit in at least a majority of attacks. While this may have been true because of technological limitations of the 1960's , it was surely still not a truly comforting thought for the base personnel stationed there. A direct hit ground burst, even in the kiloton range would have smashed the installation underneath like a hammer does a nutshell. Tiny glimmer of hope : The only parts of the complex which could precisely be pin-pointed by enemy reconnaissance were the missile silos themselves with their huge silo doors and above round support structures. I believe the soviets would have tried to nuke those silos directly as it was more success promising than trying to take out the command center.
Yes, I would like to see more locations like this. Even with the graffiti, it is a place unknown to ME, and therefore, interesting. If/when you make it back to the U.S., you may find some things worth checking out up here in Washington state. Tons of mines, train tunnels, coastal forts, silos, etc.
Hello guys, seeing how I've lived in Colorado my whole life, I'm quite familiar with the history that you have described. In the city that I live in we are 7 miles from a decommissioned Titan missile silo. Also, we have an area called the Pawnee national grasslands. There are currently 6 active ICBM silos located there. So our state is an integral part of national defense. Keep up the great videos.
Would love to see a more intact silo! The nuclear age fascinates me and seeing these vast corridors etched into the earth for the sole purpose of storing such a deadly device is mind blowing. Thank you for sharing this!
Yeah, this one is one of the worse ones out there to be seen (submerged one after it got pumped out was in much worse shape before the people fixing it up started working on it)
If the Moroccans who always hang around my area with a broken-down van looking for scrap metal found this place, it would be like winning the lottery for them. And for their children and grandchildren as well!
This was awesome to see. Those tunnels gave me Stargate SG-1 vibes too. Speaking of which, if you could sneak into Cheyenne Mountain, for a bit of "Urbex" I think we'd all appreciate the video(s) lol
Liquid fueled? I didn't know that. I believe the more modern land-based Minuteman missiles, and all the submarine launched missiles, used solid-fueled rocket engines. They must have seemed almost maintenance free compared with this generation. I was surprised at how damaged they seemed.
Yes, the Atlas series ICBMs and the Titan I used RP-1 (highly refined kerosene) and liquid oxygen, the Titan II used nitrogen tetroxide as a oxidizer and unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine as it's fuel. unlike the Atlas and Titan I ICBMs, the Titan's II fuel could be loaded into and stored indefinitely on the missile as long as they kept the temperature at 60 degrees (whereas Atlas and Titan I had the LOX cryogenic component to its fuel) also Titan II was hypergolic, when the fuel and the oxidizer met, it violently exploded on contact and the missile was outta there. It certainly was not without it's down dangers, besides the hypergolic components of the Titan II fuel, it was nasty toxic and the fuel handlers wore special suits to deal with it. hope this helps.
You are very fortunate in that you have areas/places such as these to explore! What body parts I would give up to be able to go an an expedition such as this is up in the air. Going back and forth to an factory job five to seven days an week is...has been old for many moons. Living vicariously through your adventures is the best I can ever expect to attain. Thankyou much for your under control fear/in trepidation of these situations you encountered.😺
Pretty scarey to think that this was an active Silo with Nuclearwarheads,i will never understand why we Humans even build something like that,makes me sad to think about it😥
pretty experienced at urbex stuff and wondering where your entrance was, have a similar titan 1 complex near me in lincoln california and wondering where the main entrance would be for the workers to get in
Close to Tucson Arizona in green valley, there is a Titan 2 missile silo that you can visit and has been preserved just as it was when it was still in service in the early 80s before being decommissioned. Its open for tours daily
Many people have purchased Titan 2 missile silo complexes and have turned them into homes underground with blast door intact. Lots of work to do it but well worth it.
Me and my friend went to the location of this place but we could never find the entrance. We might have went to the other three missle silo. If anyone can give the coordinates that'll be awesome!
did you ever go to the other sites? I know this is an old comment. I can send the cordinates to the one in this video tho. We went to 724-C but had to turn around tonight because of a barking gaurd dog
For a 3 year service life and not re purposed. Is is a catastrophic waste of money. A costing analysis of any nations defence budget would make the tax payers weep.
I've seen the outside on other videos, nothing much to see just two big concrete slabs which was the idea, all of the good stuff was kept underground from prying eyes.
The Launch Silo gives you the creeps not just for it's sheer size , but to know a Death dealing beast once sat there long time ago..great vid more of the same please.
most had pumps to keep the water out while they were operational, once they were abandoned and the power turned off then there was nothing to stop the water.
Four things - 1st, this was an awesome video but I wish You had more footage of more of the complex. 2nd, I think you should do more silos. 3rd, I am jealous that you can do this, I am not sure where this is. 4th, I you ever take guests please sign me up.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath since they were easy to remove I’m sure most of them got scrapped at the same time as the wire. Because if it’s not bolted down somebody will try and take it. Whatever covers were left I’m sure destructive explorers have thrown into the silo’s just to see how deep it was. It seems like something I probably would’ve done when I was a kid.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Notice the grates weren't all that rusty, may have been stainless or some other alloy. At some point in time the grates themselves may have had enough scrap value to warrant removal.
I've been in this missile silo several time, probably four or five times. I try to visit it regularly. I've seen it when nearly full of water as well as almost completely empty. It's kind of terrifying.
Get in touch with Nik, at Nuclear Bunker living.. He purchased a Titan 1 just outside the Denver area.. I'm sure he would give you a tour of the silo..He has been refurbishing it for about a year...Thx for bringing us along on your adventure....Be careful my friend...

Awesome video. I never expected the missle silo's to so huge! A look at another one would definitely be appreciated!
Pretty scarey to think that this was an active Silo with Nuclearwarheads,i will never understand why we Humans even build something like that,makes me sad to think about it😥
Goed bezig Bob&co, meer van dit is altijd welkom 👍
Komt goed😇😎Bedankt voor het kijken!
pretty experienced at urbex stuff and wondering where your entrance was, have a similar titan 1 complex near me in lincoln california and wondering where the main entrance would be for the workers to get in
Close to Tucson Arizona in green valley, there is a Titan 2 missile silo that you can visit and has been preserved just as it was when it was still in service in the early 80s before being decommissioned. Its open for tours daily
This one was a very very cool one. With the map drawn out in it and so on. Must have been a struggle to get to those silo’s. Thanks for sharing.👊🏻😃
Many people have purchased Titan 2 missile silo complexes and have turned them into homes underground with blast door intact. Lots of work to do it but well worth it.
Floor plates are removed to discourage exploration.
Me and my friend went to the location of this place but we could never find the entrance. We might have went to the other three missle silo. If anyone can give the coordinates that'll be awesome!
did you ever go to the other sites? I know this is an old comment. I can send the cordinates to the one in this video tho. We went to 724-C but had to turn around tonight because of a barking gaurd dog
This reminds me of the game Dead Space, I was expecting a Necromorph to jump out at any second and bite your face off.
You're right haha ! I didn't play many games as a teenager but do played this one..haha
For a 3 year service life and not re purposed. Is is a catastrophic waste of money. A costing analysis of any nations defence budget would make the tax payers weep.
Heck yeah to more missile silos! ☢️
Thanks will do my best
I've explored several of these sites, a lot of have blocked off hallways leading to other places. we always assumed there are still active tunnels.
I see asbestos lagging around those pipes - please be careful.
It’s really interesting to see these structures thanks for the vids. I would like to see the outside, the silo doors how they look today.👍👍✌️
I've seen the outside on other videos, nothing much to see just two big concrete slabs which was the idea, all of the good stuff was kept underground from prying eyes.
it's better if you install raid shadow legends lelll
This was awesome to see. Yes please to more similar explores. Really enjoyed this one
Awesome explore and awesome place although so much stripped.
Deffo interested of more these kind of places.
Great Video! Would love to see you guys exploring a better preserved missile complex
Great video, thx for this, i love those kind of videos in military abandon places
The Launch Silo gives you the creeps not just for it's sheer size , but to know a Death dealing beast once sat there long time ago..great vid more of the same please.
Awesome video as usual. Definitely want to see more of these silos.
Great video guys, keep exploring!
Thank's Bob and friends for another excelent video!
Outstanding explore! Well done. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a million for checking out Christiane! Did you already see the “most dangerous adventures “ episode?
21:56 that catwalk at the very top looks insane! I would be trying to find that spot.
this is really interesting to see after all these years. It would be fun to see a silo that was not flooded
most had pumps to keep the water out while they were operational, once they were abandoned and the power turned off then there was nothing to stop the water.
all the included pictures and layouts are awesome
This was great. Would love to see more missile silo's. Thanks for the vid
Hey Bob, yes would like to see more of these kinds of exploration it was interesting never seen this before thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Thanks a million Shirley. Will make sure I’ll go to another cool one😄
And another really cool location that you showed us! Thank you! And also a cool idea with that map! AND of course, please more such locations!!!
Thanks, I thought it would be cool to show it😇 makes it way more clear for the viewer.
Hele gave locatie! Ik zou zeker wel een locatie in betere staat willen zien in de toekomst :) Die silo was wel indrukwekkend hoor.
Yes! Gelukkig zat die niet helemaal onder de tags haha. Er zijn er enkele die nog in een hele goede staat zijn.
Four things -
1st, this was an awesome video but I wish You had more footage of more of the complex.
2nd, I think you should do more silos.
3rd, I am jealous that you can do this, I am not sure where this is.
4th, I you ever take guests please sign me up.
Which State do you live? I’ll be back to visit some more😁👍
cracking video Bob, we need more! 🚀🤩
Coming up😁👀 In the next episodes some other military stuff like forts on sea and military islands😇
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Nice one Bob, anything military is right up my strasse! Keep up the good work.
I can tell you the metal grates for walking were removed because there was copper wires running underneath and someone wanted to salvage them.
Yeah, I know wires are down there, but why would they take all the grates too… Or they completely stripped it when it got demilitarized.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath since they were easy to remove I’m sure most of them got scrapped at the same time as the wire. Because if it’s not bolted down somebody will try and take it. Whatever covers were left I’m sure destructive explorers have thrown into the silo’s just to see how deep it was. It seems like something I probably would’ve done when I was a kid.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Notice the grates weren't all that rusty, may have been stainless or some other alloy. At some point in time the grates themselves may have had enough scrap value to warrant removal.
@@mfree80286 I agree they were probably stainless steel or some heavy duty aluminum.
Should do a video on the old subway tunnels from Saint Paul MN to Minneapolis. The tunnels exist to this day. They opted for mass surface transport.
I've been in this missile silo several time, probably four or five times. I try to visit it regularly. I've seen it when nearly full of water as well as almost completely empty. It's kind of terrifying.
Did you notice the if the roof is starting to sag?
where did you park? How far did you walk to get in? I'm trying to go but I've heard a lot of people have gotten caught
Aside from all the graphity this is truly amazing 👏 cheers 🍻 guys great explore 👍.
Thanks guys, y'all are awesome!
Wow Bob, that was awesome even though it was all tagged up. Thanks for showing us.
your map inlay is really nice. I really appreciate that part.
Crazy how a kid is stuck in the silo rn
What happened?!?
@@ImAstroCodm a kid fell through the floor of the silo
Get in touch with Nik, at Nuclear Bunker living.. He purchased a Titan 1 just outside the Denver area.. I'm sure he would give you a tour of the silo..He has been refurbishing it for about a year...Thx for bringing us along on your adventure....Be careful my friend...
Yeah, I know he bought the B one, but this trip was too last minute to arrange something 😔
Amazing video - a lot of interest from me! Had no clue they were this massive
I scuba dived the one in Royal city Washington it was very fascinating went down to the bottom of the launch silo which was about 110 ft.
That sounds amazing ! I think I've seen some footage of it. A totaly different experience than walking there :)
Nice video guys…. I hope you will find another one 👌🏻👌🏻
Yes! Just need to go to some other States😎
having the plan helped a lot. A good episode
Thanks for checking out John. Thought it would be nice to give an idea of the whole complex🙂 will do it in all coming underground episodes.
