Connecticut‘s Nuclear Missiles: Part 1 (Ep. 10)

Students in Connecticut in the 1960s used to hide under their desks to prepare for a nuclear attack by the Soviet Union.

In part one of this two-part series, hear about the absolutely incredible bunkers that were built – some of which have been decommissioned, and some of which are still active.
