When Things Go Boom: Former Top Secret Nuclear Weapons Storage Facility (San Antonio, Texas)

In this episode, I visit a long-forgotten former top-secret nuclear weapons storage facility (Medina Base) in San Antonio, Texas, located at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. In November 1963, more than 209 high explosive shells for nuclear weapons detonated, sending the steel doors of the igloo flying high into the air and landing several thousand feet away. The explosion created a massive crater and could be felt from many miles away. Many thanks to the public affairs team at Joint Base San Antonio.
