The Sun Reveals Secret Cheyenne Mountain Nuclear Bunker

The Sun reports on a rare visit to the Cheyenne Mountain bunker — a hidden underground city in Colorado built to protect U.S. leaders in case of nuclear war.

The British newspaper The Sun reported that journalists have, for the first time, been allowed to visit the underground bunker designed to shelter U. S. President Donald Trump and members of his administration in the event of a nuclear war. The report focuses on the top-secret Cheyenne Mountain complex — a vast subterranean city hidden beneath the rocky terrain of Colorado, located more than six hundred meters underground.

Cheyenne Mountain is described as a labyrinth of tunnels and reinforced chambers capable of withstanding a direct hit from a nuclear warhead with a blast yield a thousand times greater than the bomb dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima in 1945.

The underground installation is equipped with its own power stations and subterranean reservoirs supplying drinking water. Food reserves are said to be sufficient to sustain the U.S. administration for an extended period. Remarkably, even a Subway restaurant operates inside the complex — one that The Sun called «the safest restaurant in the world.»

The Cheyenne Mountain facility consists of fifteen separate buildings mounted on enormous shock absorbers engineered to absorb the impact of a nuclear explosion. In the event of a nuclear catastrophe, this underground city would serve not only as a shelter for America’s top leadership but also as a command center for the armed forces of the United States and Canada.

However, the journalists' visit raised a question that remains unanswered: why did U.S. authorities choose this moment to grant access to one of the most secret military sites in the country?
