Preparing for eminent nuclear fallout with Russia, the US government spent hundreds of millions of dollars building extensive underground missile bases during the 1950s and early 60s. Farmers' fields became clandestine landscape for weapons capable of waging war on the other side of the world. By 1965, these bases were decommissioned, abandoned and left to rust. Buried silo labyrinths can be found all over – California, New Mexico, New York: most are flooded and completely inaccessible.



VICE/VBS.tv drove 4 hours into Washington State in search of one that was still usable and found 1 mile of underground tunnels, domes and silos.

After a tour they went to Kansas to meet Ed, missile silo real estate agent, drum circle enthusiast and 2012 doomsdayer, for a visit to his converted silo home.
