CNN's Exclusive Look At US Nuclear Missile Site

CNN's Oren Liebermann visited North Dakota's Minot Air Force Base for exclusive overnight access to a ballistic missile silo. There, the Air Force keeps aging Minuteman III ICBMs in top shape, even as the military hopes to never have to launch them. #cnn #news

What blows my mind is that you have to have a clean background and high security clearance to work on and/or protect these missiles, but to order the deployment of one, you can be a convicted felon. 😂

"If it's fired, then it's a nuclear war."

[tkreelman]

I’m sorry but why are we showing off our death weapons of mass destruction??

[vickikubacki]

I hate anything coming out of Minot ND. Stationed there for almost 6 years and it was a horrible place.

[nguyenhuy.]

Let's pray for world peace and for the military who are protecting their people.

And why are y’all showing this to the world? Why?

"Range 6000 miles so it can hit any point on Earth". Er, no, that is wildly wrong !!!

[silksnapper]

I say no more peace talks it's time for action

[wjhill]

Don't understand why would any country would need some thing like this what ever happened to a good old fashion gun fight if country have problems with each other don't kill me and other people

[sadatabdalla]

None of these will change the fact that Iran has a right to defend itself...

My father worked for Boeing and helped in the design of the minuteman. Ironically he met my mom at the base.

[tommyhooks]

why are you posting this information now ?

[erikdw]

Wait a minute, just a minute, do you have a minute ?, Nothin takes more than a minute..

[JoeBleaux]

Nuclear war is a silly term. World War II was WWII not “a nuclear war”. Ppl literally think nuclear = the end of the world

[anthonygriffin]

I have to admit, as a retired United States Navy Submarine Fleet sailor, that the media was allowed to film such a federal government facility for the media consumption in the country. It's something that wouldn't be allowed in such an environment in the past.

[felicitynefdt]

Are you people insane? Do you really think you should have the capacity to destroy the earth for all of us?

[Idlewyld]

We spend a Trillion dollars a year on Defense, and this is what we have? Pathetic. Meanwhile, the CEOs of these missile companies have multiple beach houses.

[DumbCarGuy]

So an exclusive? Like nobody in the world has ever seen this before or posted about it or even a photo. Why don’t I believe you?

The Human Race has NEVER manufactured a weapon AND ñot used it 😔
