<p><strong>EvoG</strong> let us know in <a target="_self" href="http://www.duckandcover.cx/forums/viewt ... 4329">this thread</a> that a Cold War-era bunker has been found built into the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>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.</em></p>
<p><em>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.</em></p>
<p><em>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.</em> </p>
