| [ZERO] North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) & the US' Northern Command (NORTHCOM) held a Facebook Live town hall meeting on Tuesday, March 24, informing the public how their essential teams in charge of homeland security are isolating at the Cheyenne Mountain bunker in Colorado amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Air Force General Terrence O'Shaughnessy, who commands NORAD and NORTHCOM, told reporters on Facebook Live last Tuesday that essential staff is being moved from Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado to the underground bunker complex that is 24 miles away in Cheyenne Mountain. The facility is more than 2,000 feet underground and can survive a 30 megaton nuclear explosion. Related: NORAD: 2020-03-26 NORAD, Cheyenne Mountain button up against coronavirus for the duration.

| #4 See how long they last with the avocado appliances and shag carpet. Atari 2600, what the hell is that? How come it stops working when the cords are unplugged? |

| #2 I've worked in there. Would hate to be cooped up for weeks in it. Cool thing about that blast/vault door is it isn't as big in real life. I can touch both sides of the door with stretched out arms. It is only some 6' across. |
