Trump's Underground City in Cheyenne Mountain: What the Bunker Looks Like in Case of a Nuclear War.

Trump's Secret Bunker

According to The Sun: Trump opened the doors to his nuclear underground bunker, showcasing a secret underground city created to protect himself and government officials.

This fortress, hidden deep beneath the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, was built to ensure the safety of military and political leaders in the event of a nuclear war.

This time, the bunker doors were opened exclusively for the media, including NewsNation, to organize a tour inside this shelter.

Complex Description

Cheyenne is a large underground complex carved from nearly 70 thousand tons of granite.

Designed to withstand nuclear attacks, this mega bunker serves as a defense point for the USA.

The fortress is secured by thirteen-inch steel doors behind several access control points and is built to withstand explosions 'a thousand times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima', even at close range.

The functioning underground city contains its own power plants, underground lakes with water, and food supplies that sustain the teams for 'very long periods'.

Moreover, there is a Subway system in operation, considered 'the most protected Subway in the world'.

General Gregory GYOT, commander of the North American Command Center, emphasized that the facility remains just as important today as when it opened in 1966.

'The cost of its construction in the early 60s was entirely justified,' he noted.

'We use it today just as we have for decades.'

Gyot expressed confidence in the complex's readiness for contemporary threats, including concerning Russian aircraft controlling US airspace, Chinese spy balloons, or cyberattacks.

'I'm not worried about that; we have the best soldiers working here,' he noted.

'We are ready.'

The bunker is covered with granite and steel, which protect the electronics from electromagnetic impulses that may occur during nuclear explosions.

The doors can close by a hydraulic mechanism, ensuring safety inside within just 45 seconds, or can be closed manually in emergencies.

On September 11, 2001, these doors were closed, marking the only time the bunker had been closed to the outside world since the Cold War.

The main NORAD office previously served other functions but shifted its role in management in 2008. However, staff continues to work in the complex, ensuring its operability.

Officials claim that this mountain fortress is not a relic of the past.

'That is absolutely not true,' Rose said in 2018.

The bunker has become a cultural symbol, known for its appearance in the 1983 film 'WarGames' and the series 'Stargate'.

The US action plan in case of a nuclear war includes this fortress. The president will be urgently transferred to the underground shelter of the White House before boarding one of the USAF 'Apocalypse' planes.

Close circles of officials will travel with the president, while the Secretary of Defense, as well as government and congressional members, will be relocated to shelters specially designed for protection from strikes, such as Mount Weather in Virginia or Raven Rock in Pennsylvania.

This information about the bunker highlights the complexes' importance for US national security. Despite changes in the modern world, such shelters continue to play a crucial role in crisis planning. In light of new threats, America remains ready for any challenges.
