I wouldn't be so sure about that. I grew up in a small town in PA. Much smaller population base than Greenville area. After the fall of the USSR a list of prime targets of the Soviets came to light. One of those at the top of the list was my tiny home town. The reason? There was a nuclear plant nearby. Much like Oconee being nearby to here.
They're fallout shelters.. They're for protection against fallout.. not the blast itself.
Around here, there are three locations that could be targets that I can think of.. Yes, the oconee station, but also GSP and Donaldson Center. Runways where a bomber could land and takeoff would be targets. We know that GSP could handle it, but many people forget that Donaldson is still an active runway and I'm pretty sure long enough to handle the bombers.
Donaldson can definitely handle bombers and other military aircraft. Lockheed Martin does maintenance work for the military out of there already, mainly cargo planes I believe. There is also some army reserve activities out of there as well.
With all this talk of russia prepping for war, does anyone know where the nearest bunkers are? I know theyre around or if you prefer not to talk about the location publicy please send me a message . thanks
Since nuclear war is imminent, don't wait to protect yourself and your dear family!
Just send me a self-addressed stamped envelope and a bank check for $500 and I will send you a list of "Dr. Prepper"(tm) fallout shelters that are still accepting applications. Spaces are filling up fast, so don't delay!
Not useful now, but the old Greenville Memorial Auditorium was a fallout shelter. After high school I worked for an HVAC company that had a service contract there. We worked on a lot of old air handlers and equipment and stuff, trying to keep it all running. In the basement equipment rooms and lower levels, there were "fallout shelter" signs everywhere. I remember thinking how quiet and kinda eerie it was down there and how thick and massive those walls must be, it was always cold down there. Then on a cool Saturday morning in '97, I stood in the intersection of Church and Coffee street I believe, and watched that place fall like a house of cards. Inside I was a little disappointed that they were able to bring it down, lol.
