What the Inside of a Real Cold War Bunker Looks Like

[freak 1,032]

Friends were exploring one day when they found a metal shack. The inside of the shack was even more interesting.

 

On the surface

This is what we found when we opened up the shack. A ladder?

 

 

First stop

When we got down the ladder we were standing on a small platform

 

 

Stairs

That lead to a staircase.

 

 

That went down

 

 

Quite a ways.

 

 

Door

At the bottom we found one hell of a door.

 

 

Door open

That opened up pretty easily. Inside we could see a metal shack of some kind.

 

 

Out the door

Looking back out of the door.

 

 

Bridge

You had to cross a little bridge to get on to the main platform.

 

 

Bridge side

Because the whole thing is suspended from big ass shock isolators.

Better shot of the shock isolator.

 

 

The shack

This seems to be the whole reason this thing was built. Some kind of old communications equipment.

 

 

Fuel

Behind the shack was a diesel tank.

 

 

Ladder

And, a ladder.

 

 

Seems safe.

 

 

Ladder Bottom

Now we are down.

Under

The underside had a bunch of old air handling equipment.

Intake

Connected to the outside by flexible ducts.

Rusty

Some of the stuff was in bad shape.

Flashlight

The bottom of this place had stared to fill with water. I thought about grabbing the flashlight, but figured there were probably a bunch of CHUD waiting to grab me under there.
