I think the bunker in Debert Nova Scotia did the same thing used by a high tech company. And since it's DND property who cares what the mayor thinks the city doesn't own it. If the DND turns it over to the city then the city can look into options.
Why not just fit the 21st Century technology in the old bunker? Why a new building? If there where to eventually have a threat the new building would get whipped and we be trying to boot up the old machine, just like in the movies .... Great Canadian tax dollars....
I like how they didn't mention the fact that in the early eighties it was just remodeled. Why didn't they just do that again? It would have saved them the cost of the new facility AND the $2,000,000 a year upkeep fee.
I think that it should they should grant the military money to renovate this bunker. With the tensions of countries such as Iran and North Korea, we still have a threat of nuclear attack. Sure maybe not cold war odds, but still, play it safe. At least if there was a nuclear attack, we would be prepared instead of scrambling on our feet.
The new facility is ABOVE ground? What, do they think EMP is part of the history books? No metal structure can protect against EMP, that's why the underground facility was UNDERGROUND.
They would be foolish to let it rot,its bought and paid for,update some of the equipment, for when the next asteroid hits they will be thanking their sweet patotie.
I live in Colorado. Primary operations that were in Cheyenne mountain are no longer. They have moved to the outside facilities, but the inside of the mountain is still in use.
Well, the nuclear operations are at STRATCOM at Offut AFB, but right now the military is thinking about moving STRATCOM headquarters down to Barksdale AFB in Lousiana
Thanks for posting this,I lived on the base from 78-83 as my dad was with 414 SQN and he served 32yrs in the CAF and myself 5yrs in the Infantry with 1 RCR. I remember the air raid siren going off around 3am one day when I was only in grade 9 and swore I was going to die a virgin ;)
A lot of the base is torn down (buildings) and also the Bomark missle is not in North Bay anymore-I belive the Americans took it back.
yeah i live in north bay, i dont understand why they built it above ground. this is canadas MAIN are defence system i dont understand why they would make it so obvious its there, i would of turned that underground facility into that new building. the whole city of north bay can fit in there! its completely safe! why wouldnt you put norad down there!
Well, Canada isnt really a major nuclear target from canada other then a few Radar stations up north on the DEW line that are still in operation and mybe some cities since it is a NATO nation.
The logical choice would have been to replace the aging equipment in the BUNKER rather than build a new building and house in it all the high tech shit that we need to keep track of our airspace, while at the same time maintaining a now useless underground bunker
It does not make sense to me. Someone had their hand in someones pocket, thats all i can see. I bet who ever was in charge of this project, had some big interests in a large construction company. Otherwise, what kind of drugs were these idiots smoking?!?
it has been investigated! The bush administration said Norads job was to look at outward threats, however this contradicts norads long standing mission to not only look outwards but to "look inwards, to maintain aire Sovereignty"
Just one more thing that lets me know our current times suck. I would die for the USA in these times, now, not so much. This is NOT our country any more.
NORAD DSP satellites track UFOs all the time entering and leaving our atmosphere and going into deep space. That's how the military keeps track of which objects are "ours" and which are "theirs". Around 5 per day in fact.
Too bad for them, but Soviets solved problem to blow up such hardened bases since early 1980s. 25MT nuclear blast at few hundred yards can vaporize anything, any base. Solution: SS-18 "Satan" missile, "mod 2" modification.
A BRAIN????? Perhaps before you blab your obviously uneducated mouth off, do some research. Nuclear bombs can easily penetrate the tunnel as much as any above ground complex. Only thing worse than an idiot is one that lives in his moms basement.....
Two million dollars a year to maintain the place and the retards go and spend a shitload of money to build a whole new above ground facility that isn't even bomb proof (or EMP and CBRN proof). Why didn't they just renovate like they did back in the 1980's? Am I missing something here?
NORAD in Canada is a joke... protecting Canadian people thats bull... Russian space debris fell into Labrador with out NORAD knowing any thing about it before it was to late...... lucky no one was killed or hurt.... But as for being protected well NORAD showed they wont do the job until it is to late only then they might....
here's a thought enlarge the entrance tunnel to allow a five ton mil-spec truck through and turn it into a strategic logistical material depot with enough equipment and arms to fully equip or resupply a entire infantry regiment.
Wasn't a bad place to work. but costly to operate and it would cost a hell of a lot more to get all the asbestos out and move in the newer computer systems. the Above ground complex there cost a lot less than those kind of overhauls.
sad thing is im right now only about a km and a half away from cfb northbay's main enterance and in this video you dont see much of the base you only see the the sage aka the hole or the "underground bunker" and the new above ground one. they have taken most of the stuff out of the sage and still to this day dont know what to do with it. i say it should have stayed there and just put in easier access.
There are now four interesting articles on NORAD at DNotice (org). They are "The NORAD Papers", "The NORAD Papers II", "The NORAD Papers III" and The NORAD Papers IV. The last article (for the first time!) explains the mechanics of how NORAD radar operators monitored and identified aircraft flying over American airspace.
Why don't still used the nuclear bunker...it is more secure against nuclear strike and for sure arial bombing from russian aircraft who can easily destroy the New Norad center...
They better update it and fix everything. If the machines do ever take over, i.e. Skynet, they better have a reason to take NORAD rather than some other lame base seen so frequently in films and games, etc.
I also want an apple II computer to take over and play war games with some punk kid in Washington, only to loose to tic-tac-toe, that would be AWESOME!
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. I worked in the power plant in the early 90's at the "hole". It would be cool if they turned it into a cold war museum.
NORAD still needs all submarines clocks to be syncronized to Norad atomic clock..Atomic submarine's atomic clock. Can be powered and energized by a solar clock but doesn't use sun power but only by laser light which is absorbed in clock's solar panel cells or photo voltaic cells which absorb laser light, converts it to electrical power then sends it to it's atomic submarine clock.The reason to use this. Not smart to have any electrical wires they could cause more radiation.
Been there...served there (my favourite CFB)...some years back I visited there with family and friends (under tight security of course)...great group of people there...sorry to see it "mothballed" rather than updated.
Prior to 9/11, there was talk of turning it into a prison, but to keep prisoners held underground 24hour/day was considered inhumane. It was very secure and functional. It just needed some updated equipment. You can never be too safe...2 NORADs are better than one (North Bay & Colorado that is)

Ive been inside that bunker it was very impressive me and my family were the only ones allowed in untill sadley the bunker became deserted I wont tell you any thing about it though after all it was a nuclear shelter what I can tell you is that on one of the circut boards I saw over 100 blips on it thankfully these wern`t Russion bombers they were civilan airliners
