    Just came across this old school web site documenting some guy's exploration of a decomissioned nuclear missile silo. Fascinating. Creepy.

    I think somebody listed the place for sale on eBay not too long ago.

    Probably not the same one. Apparently there are a bunch of abandoned silos.

    Why aren't there actual pictures inside the silo?

    What are they hiding?

    EDIT: I'm referring to the Ebay auction listing.

    I'm guessing my movie quote above was a tad too difficult for y'all.

    I'm disappointed.

    They're hiding a flooded, asbestos filled cesspool.

    They claim it's dry, unlike the silo in the pictures from the link I posted.

    You'd think they wouldn't have much incentive to lie about that because surely anyone who bought the site would inspect it first.

    The pepsi machine transported them into a nuclear silo/bunker.

    Yep, it was at the tomatoes factory. :D IIRC....Ace Tomatoes? Sad I remember all that. I've seen that movie WAY too many times.
