Would you buy a house if you knew there was a nuclear missile silo in the back yard?

Not particulary. I would find that a inconvience.

Ya think? ;-)

I think i’d probably “fall out” with the neighbours in that instance ;¬}

As long as they don’t wake me up during my sleep or interrupt my TV time, I don’t see an issue.

You mean that’s not a walk in closet? :O

Is it covered under my homeowners policy? If it is, I’m cool with it.

If it was going to be decommissioned at some point and I’d be allowed to own it and use it as the most awsomest basement ever, sure.

Sorry Dr D. I was being flip, and I think you were not. I watched that scene and the feeling that went through me was not something I ever want to feel again. It was a mix of horror, revulsion, and sadness. It was like a preview of hell.

The big problem with having a silo in the backyard is not a missile launching during a family BBQ, but that your area is a target. So, the way I figure it, if the entire country is going to be nuked it doesn’t make much difference where you are. If the explosions don’t get you, then the fallout will—eventually.

Nah ah man.

@Adirondackwannabe I was half being flip, and half not. :-)

That entire movie gave me a feeling that I don’t ever want to feel again. I remember living in fear as a kid that we’d be blown up any second. (During the early Reagan years.)

@mrentropy You might find this site interesting. Apparently abandoned missile silos are the newest luxury properties.

Thanks, @Dr_Dredd !

You’re welcome. Not my cup of tea, though. :-)
