The reality of nuclear combat's devastation was clear as soon as the first atomic weapons were dropped during World War II, leading the U.S. government to develop a "doomsday plan" out of perceived necessity. In the Cold War era, the threat of impending nuclear warfare - and the fear it caused in the American citizenship - escalated even further. Politicians played on this fear, and the government began planning for a potential attack. Testing bombs on mock cities in the Nevada desert - constructed to assess potential damage - was only part of the doomsday strategy.

    • You're right, I was worried we wouldn't have a place that would collect our taxes; all of us left after the nuclear war wouldn't know where to send our tax return forms.

  • My dad worked as a truck driver in the late 40's, early 50's, at a similar "secret" location about sixteen miles south west of there at Fort Ritchie, MD. The only thing he'd ever say about it was the entry road went on for miles once you went underground before you got to the drop zone. Drivers stayed in the truck as it was unloaded and then left immediately. Never saw what they were hauling, never asked.

    • I can't say where I work or what I do, but I can say we do business with a DoD outfit that is near the so-called "Area 51". About twice a year, our general manager who used to work there, gets orders for product from them that is completely kept under wraps. When the product arrives, it is in unmarked, enclosed wooden pallets. No packing slip or anything on the outside to indicate what's on the inside. The dudes from the DoD who come to pick it up, arrive in an unmarked box van, hand our GM a check, load up and leave. No one here but the GM and the recipients, knows the contents of the pallet boxes.

And what if they were only serving snickers bars, would the dining hall still reject additional meal serving attempts? Amazing engineering for sure.

  • My Dad worked for the Coast Guard as a Russian linguist (we are not Russian). He went to the South Pole where they also have underground facilities for scientist not to be secretive but due to extreme weather and them having to live there for years at a time. He was indeed surprised to find a Starbucks coffee joint. He loved having a treat like that. His job was to communicate to Russian ice breakers if scientists needed fuel and American ships were too far or locked up in the ice. It actually happened and countries even adversarial countries have a mutual aid response agreement. This was the year the lady scientist was evacuated to get cancer treatment. Normally she would have had to stay 4-5 years after 2 they found cancer so she had to leave.

I understand the cost would be too heavy to build bunkers for over 300 million people. But I have doubt the richest country in the world couldn't build enough bunkers for at least a quarter of its people. After all, if you're gonna tax people even after a nuclear apocalypse, you might as well save as many people as possible, right?

But since he is kinda old himself, that means his kids have wives and kids too. And what about his favourite cousin and his best friend? And the eventually the whole bunch goes underground, and the booms happen and 30 days later (or a couple of years later, whatever) they all emerge and there is but nothing left out there except this really nice ash heap.
