EvoG let us know in this thread that a Cold War-era bunker has been found built into the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City.
New York workers have discovered a trove
of Cold War-era supplies within the masonry of the Brooklyn Bridge, a
cache meant to aid in survival efforts in the event of nuclear attack.
City
Department of Transportation employees were conducting maintenance on
the structure Wednesday when they found the cache on the top floor of a
three-floor space inside the bridge's base, agency spokeswoman Kay
Sarlin said.
Some containers were marked with two dates notorious
in the annals of the Cold War: 1957, when the Soviet Union launched the
first satellite into space, and 1962, the year of the Cuban missile
crisis when the two superpowers may have come closest to war.
