How to launch a nuclear missile

Inside the world's last Titan II nuclear silo. During the Cold War this structure held the most powerful weapon ever deployed by the United States. Today the warhead is gone but eveything else remains; giving me the perfect oportunity to explore the engineering and logistics behind how to launch a nuclear ICBM. ---------- II ---------- 0:00 Doomsday 0:30 The order arrives 1:40 Into the bunker 4:27 Fueling up 7:45 Launch 10:20 Into the unknown ---------- II ---------- Huge thanks to everyone at the Titan Missile Museum for letting me come visit! https://titanmissilemuseum.org/ With extra thanks to Boneyard Safari for the extra stock footage https://www.boneyardsafari.com/ Created by James Dingley, Julia Witham, Rafa "I want coffee" Monardez, and Julian Dingley ---------- II ---------- This video was brought to you by an unhealthy amount of coffee and our awesome Patrons at https://www.patreon.com/atomicfrontier. ---------- II ---------- Hi, I'm James.
