We are in the rocket silo. It is 165 feet deep (about 90 feet of that are completely underwater now). During the operating period of this missile complex, circa 1963-1965, this room contained one Titan I nuclear missile, probably targetted somewhere in the Soviet Union. Now it is cold, dark, and in abandoned disrepair. Fortunately.

Here we are looking up toward the ceiling and the catwalk above. There was no safe way to get up there, but clearly someone had done it anyway, probably by climbing on the pipes and such (very stupid, very dangerous). Much of the concrete ceiling is designed to slide away quickly seconds before the missile is fully powered up during launch.

Here we are looking down the very deep shaft. The water, about 50 feet away, is about 80 feet deep. Lying just beneath the water are jagged, rusted machines that would mean death to anyone who fell. The machines and ducts on the right lead up to a service tunnel that connects to the control silo.
