In the event of a nuclear strike, President Joe Biden could be rushed to a little-known complex inside a mountain near Blue Ridge Summit, which sits along the Pennsylvania-Maryland state line, according to Newsweek.
The Raven Rock Mountain Complex, which is near Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania, "is this massive, hollowed-out mountain. It's a free-standing city ... with individual buildings, three-story buildings, built inside of this mountain,” journalist Garrett Graff, the author of the 2017 book Raven Rock: The Story of the U.S. Government's Secret Plan to Save Itself — While the Rest of Us Die, told NPR in 2017. “It has everything that a small city would — there's a fire department there, there's a police department, medical facilities, dining halls."
The bunker dates back to the 1940s and wasn’t completed until the 1950s, all under the backdrop of the Cold War. “Site R,” as it’s nicknamed, was designed to ensure the continuity of government in the event of a nuclear attack.

Book about it out for five years. Not exactly top secret.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list
Until Trump gets back in , it’s rational to be worried. Biden is a man of war. Trump was a peace president.
Are you a former freeper that did a great opus some years back? If you are...much respect! That thread was epic.
Pre-COVIC tours were availale for those properly vetted any physically fit.
I think if you asked locals....even 12-year old kids from the area will point it out on the map.
Didn’t news about this place leak out back around 1990? Maybe I’m thinking of the Greenbrier Hotel in WV.
What is missing is the housing for the gay pages/staff.
I’ve driven through the neighborhood but they didn’t invite me in for a tour.
Not sure we want “continuity” with the people in government who got us into a scenario where the bunker is needed. Put randomly chosen Americans in there and let the incompetent pinheads running the govt go down with the ship.
Nor me.
Wrong ethnicity and too little melanin.
Doesn’t matter. They’ll never escape the Martians.
Top secret facility everyone knows about???! Bet the Chinese and Russians and Iranians all have the facility blue print copies on file. I think this might be a theme for a keystone cops movie. What 🐂💩.
Horrible. If these idiots get us into a nuclear war, we should at least get a new government out of the deal.
Can you imagine living out in the radioactive rubble for a moth or two, to have these shiny clean well fed assholes emerge and declare “hey everybody, we are happy to announce the government has survived and we are back in charge!”.
Continuity of government plans should be illegal.
Where are all the anti-war protesters? Where are all the peaceniks? Funny how they just evaporated, as though their Democrat handlers pulled the plug.
As long as our gov officials are safe, that’s all that matters.
Who’s going to be around to bitch? If there’s anyone left they better have army barracks in there. If I’m still around they’re going to need them.
