Super secret nuclear base in whose dark heart kept RED SEF APOKALIPSE
Yvonne Morris had three minutes of the security fence, which had created a secret code to establish a telephone connection to the command center, the stairs come to their workplace. It's just a little exceeded the allotted time, it would, at least, was arrested.
Morris was among the first women commanders crew silos for nuclear missiles Titan 2. Between 1980 and 1984 she was responsible for the three remaining crew members and nuclear weapons than nine tons in the US base in Tucson (Arizona).
"Although our core mission to maintain peace through deterrence potential attacks and prevent the Third World War," she says, "in case you do not succeed in that, we had to at all times be ready to launch missiles in retaliation."
Since the beginning of the 1960s until the mid-1980s, Tucson was surrounded with 18 silo nuclear missile "Titan 2," which meant that he would be the first to be hit in the event of a Soviet attack. Today is preserved only one such missile plant, which has been turned into Titan Missile Museum, and Ivon Moris is its director. Here time has stopped in 1982, a silo with missiles - remains as a reminder of the Cold War preparing for the end of the world.
"It probably will not be that day"

"Three minutes to enter the silo was an integral part of the security protocol," explains Morris. "If we had not succeeded in three minutes, the crew underground assumed that there would be a security problem."
Crews are working in 24-hour shifts, and their working day was starting safety briefing in a nearby air base, "Davis-Montan."
"I must tell you that I slept more peacefully as a crew member than it is today," says Morris. "We received an excellent safety instructions, so I went to work mainly with the thought that" today is unlikely to be that day. "
Silos is located about half a kilometer from the main highway south of Mexico, under the hill surrounded by desert. On the dusty slopes here and there grow cacti, and set the table and to warn about the danger of rattlesnakes. Behind the barbed wire can be seen only two or three metal structures, concrete door launcher stations, antennas and a staircase leading underground.

After they came down the stairs first, Maurice would again called the control center, came down another set of stairs that led up to the door, when he again urged the center, using a secret number for the day.
"Control Center to check the video surveillance features to make sure that I was alone and did not anyone put a gun to his head."
Ten feet below the ground, behind a door made of reinforced steel and concrete, is the main part of the silo. 2.7 tons of heavy doors, which are run by two large hinges, thick as 30 centimeters (twice thicker than conventional doors), but they are so designed that they can be opened with one finger.
"From there, go into the reinforced part of the missile silo, designed to withstand the effects of a nuclear attack in the vicinity," explains Morris. "The plant was not designed to withstand a direct hit."
Red safe Apocalypse

The tunnel was lined with metal girders, covered with long cables and resembles the interior of a battleship or a submarine. Leading to the launch control center - circular room with outdated computer terminals, dials and switches. In the middle of control console with strings attached lamp and a chair in front of it. The floor was MONITRAN on giant shock absorbers, which is supposed to absorb the consequences of an attack.
In the back of the room there is a red safe containing the card with the codes necessary to confirm orders for launch issued by the President of the United States. The safe is secured with two padlocks which are opened by the codes and belonging to officers on duty. When completed the shift to shared locks with a new crew. Only individuals are able to combinations of four digits.
"You should be able to remember the codes of greatest stress, or in the case of war," said Ivon Moris.
Above the control room is a holiday destination with bunk beds, a kitchen and a toilet. This is the only place in the whole complex where members of the crew could be alone. At all other places had to be an eye the other crew members, in order to ensure "safe control of nuclear weapons."
The main task of the crew was to inspect and maintain all equipment in the silo, from carpets to their own nuclear missile, which was located 76 meters away at the end of the second metal corridor.
Two-stage nuclear missile "Titan 2 'extends over seven floors. The black casing at its top was a warhead. Today it is empty, but Moris remembers when she saw him for the first time.
"The new crew had to carry out a review of the warhead when it first took office in order to directly confront the missile," recalls Morris. "I was nervous, I walked around and saw rockets label manufacturer" General Electric ". "I saw the label and the then GE company slogan: 'We bring good things into your life. I could not stop laughing, "she says.

"Titan 2" was an effective weapon for deterrence because it could be launched in just 58 seconds. "We had enough missiles to destroy each other several times and to discover the first attack and fight back before we hit," explains Morris. "The missiles would be missed in the air like ships in the night, blew up to both countries so that there would be no survivors to celebrate the victory." Now you can see why this doctrine called foolishness (English MAD, acronym of "Mutually Assured Destruction" (Secured mutual annihilation).
If this was the worst, the crew would find out about advertising sirens. After that, to rush to the control center in order to receive a coded message from the Strategic Command in Nebraska aviation in which you will be informed of the reason for activating the sirens. If it turns out that the president ordered the launch of a missile, would follow through authentication code card in a safe.
To "unlock" missiles code should be entered manually into six switches with 16 digits. The missile could be launched with two keys, which are also stored in the safe, which would simultaneously turned and held for five seconds shift commander and his deputy. Since we are located on two different consoles, there was no way to turn them one person.
The question of whether to fire the rocket that was ordered, Morris replied that 99.999 percent sure he would. "My whole family lives in the foothills of the mountains of Virginia, about 160 miles south of Washington, so that up to the moment when the order arrived and may already be dead."
"Life as we know it was over, after the order to launch the most terrifying everything you imagined in connection with Armageddon would begin to happen, a part of me was strongly motivated by a desire for revenge."
Rocket Museum Titan looks today exactly as it was left in 1982. They organize obilaci complex, with the ability to stand on top of the silo and watch a tunnel.
For those who grew up during the Cold War and with the constant threat of nuclear conflict, the silo is a reminder that humanity able to wipe out civilization.
