FOXNews Fox & Friends just announced (with a still photograph) that there was a fire inside one of the nuclear missle silos within The United States a few months age. The government is just letting us know about it right now at 6:17 a.m. on a Saturday, months after the event...WTF?
BTW no one monitoring the interior of the missile silo noticed the fire when it happened!
No one was hurt.
It makes you wonder if someone was testing how long it would take our government to find out about the fire.
Accidents happen fires do start, I would assume there would be a very good fire extinguishing system to kill the fire. The problem the best ones that also do not destroy the electrons such as Halon would be very dangerous for those down there.
I didn't see Fox News at LAT building when i was there.
I heard many "silo" stories too. Sometimes rattlesnakes like to make their way inside. Then there were the cold winter stories where someone made dumb descisions ala the movie "A Christmas Story" - think the flagpole. Very cold weather and metal don't mix with your flesh.
