Been in both of these back when I was High School. We used to go in them, drink beer and smoke weed. The first one you were in looks like it's the one on the east side of Roswell past Comanche Hill. We could never get all the way down in that one. The second one you were in looks like the one West of Roswell. We would go out there at night and climb all the way down. Back then there wasn't any LED flashlights, it was the old school incandescent ones with the D size batteries that didn't put out much light. So it was creepy! I remember that green control cabinet at the bottom and the water looks same. That was almost 50 years ago! It's amazing what you do when you're a crazy teenager and think you're invincible. That pipe that is sticking out 12:23. I had a friend climb out on that thing while drunk. It was insane! Thanks for the video, it brings back memories of some crazy times.
Nicely done tour. I was the deputy commander on a crew of one of these in Kansas. I found this B&B recently and we are getting ready to head off to NM soon to stay here. Like a homecoming for me and a chance for my wife and show her what I did, where I worked, in my younger days. This one may be unique in that most of them flooded once they were decommissioned and the sump pumps turned off; here the actual missile silo appears to be dry and totally visible, without the missile however.
Thank you for watching the video! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Having worked in one of these, I'm sure you will appreciate how they have stood up to the test of time. Both of the silos that we visited are dry, something I was also surprised to see. Enjoy your trip and tell everyone we said hello!
I’ve been that silo twice b 4 and another one on the east of that on the other side of Roswell The doors were not open when we went down. They opened them up in 1997 for the 50th anniversary of the crash.
There are 3 atlas missile bases in washington state , warden , odessa , and royal city . The missiles where on carrier that took the missle up to the surface then from there it would launch . Took 15 minutes to prep for launch and fueling was the most dangerous part . Odessa site is dry
I grew up in Roswell and have been down these silos several times. There are at least 2 on every highway going out of Roswell. Some are more dangerous since they were never completed and you may just find yourself wondering off into a 10 story drop into the abyss. Of course back then (80's) they were all abandoned and in ruin. Some were just a sheer drop into twisted metal and deep water. I don't recall seeing it in the video but that circular control room also had huge springs under the lower level floor that could keep the room level during a blast.
The silo you explored is gnarly!! 😮 It had me on the edge of my seat.
Don't look down!!! 😲
Now that was a video worth watching. Thank you.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate that. 🙌
Whoa!!! 🤯 This was so cool! Thank you for sharing this with all of us!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
That is a super cool location! I love how you showed everything in the Air-BNB!
Thanks dude! This was such a a unique Airbnb that we felt like we had to highlight it. I hope you enjoyed the history as well. 🙌😁
Very cool. This will live longer to tell a great story in history.
I sure hope so!

Wow! You're friend had some nerves of steel to get out on that pipe. It's awesome to hear these stories. Thank you for sharing!

Wow! Amazing! I don't think I could do the tour, I'm afraid of heights. lol
The heights definitely made it difficult! 😬
@@TheBrothersWorkshop I bet! Awesome video, it's like nothing I ever saw. Tfs 😀
Haha it's definitely a part of history most people don't know about.
That's crazy. I would never go down there.
It was definitely an experience!
He didn't even take you down to the bottom of the missile compartment... 100 + feet down.

That sounds similar to the Nike missile sites.

Wow! 😲 That's really cool. It's hard to believe so many of these exist. It's also really cool that you got to explore them as well.
Thanks for this.
No problem! I'm glad you liked it.
So whats to stop a person from renting it and closing the door and not coming out?
IDK... 😑
@@TheBrothersWorkshop Probably nothing... good luck maintaining your sanity and finding enough food however.
if i was rich enough i would buy one of those silos and even build a replica of an ICBM. There could be a small elevator inside it
There is an elevator inside of it! Didn't you see it at the beginning of the second half, when we explored the second silo?!
@@TheBrothersWorkshop i saw it but i meant an elevator inside the fake ICBM, lol. and then like a small bridge that connects it to the building
Dude! That's really creative. I like it.
Yes what a "beautiful view" of miles and miles of flat horizon.
It really is! 😄 Thanks for watching.
How much does it cost?
It is listed on Airbnb... We linked it in the bio! lol
@@TheBrothersWorkshop You reply to comments so quickly wow!
Imagine if the rusty Missile was still in there that would be cool@@TheBrothersWorkshop
Great now I want a missile Silo. BTW 2 syllables in nuclear.
Who doesn't want one!? Haha two syllables, whose making these rules?! 😂🤣
You would have been crazy NOT to do it!!!
Finally some rational thinking! 🙌
Nuclear, not "Nukuler"
That's what I said! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah it’s driving me crazy!
