Tucson
As it turns out, during the Cold War, bomb shelters of this sort were built in people’s backyard, and it was not seen as an overreaction. If a man had one built, he was seen as someone looking out for his family. During this time, the threat of a nuclear attack was very real. What’s more, Tucson had another secret.

Missile Town
In the past, there were 18 different ballistic missiles in Tucson, Arizona. These missiles have the capability to fly across whole continents, and each one was 110 feet long and 10 feet across. They were capable of destroying a 900-square-mile area and could be launched in 58 seconds. There was a 9-megaton nuclear warhead on the tip of each missile. They kept the project a secret for obvious reasons, but now that the Cold War is over, were there missiles left behind?
