My dad sent me this yesterday and it is extremely interesting.
This site is a "virtual tour" of an abandoned cold war nuclear missile silo that was dismantled and cleared out of everything except the big stuff. Basically, a few guys found an entrance to this silo and decided "Hey, let's go see what's in here" the pictures and descriptions are amazing, and this is a very rare glimpse into what was protecting our country in the 1960's.
Do NOT try to do this at home. The military is still watching these silos, as they still contain some hints to what they did there. You most likely WILL be caught exploring there. Not only that, but the dangers of getting hurt or getting irradiated are HUGE, especially in the lower levels, where your chances of survival are extremely slim, plus your chance of rescue isn't very good either. There is a much more detailed description of the dangers and consequences on the front page, I suggest you read it all.
Have fun
