| Description: | Atom Security: Underground Vaults to Safeguard Treasures An old iron mine has been converted into an underground vault to safeguard treasures in case of an atom bomb attack. Exterior sign reads Iron Mountain Atomic Storage Vaults 1951. Miners and construction workers help make the new vault "atom-proof" (safe even during/after nuclear attack). Man opens giant vault door (could pass for huge bank vault, maybe?). Security guards transport stuff down into the vault. Wise, or ridiculous? Homeland security. Atomic scare, nuclear scare, fears. | |
