  • We used to see this exact type of drill, with 3 missiles, while riding the school bus to school in about '71 in Orange County, Ca. I always thought we were under attack and wondered why no one else on the bus was freaking out.

  • This video reminds me of the old days when in, 1965 Thur 1968 I was station at the Nike sight in Danvers / Topsfield Ma.

  • @ia57man Sounded like the old Evenrude Tilt n Trim outboard hydraulics when they are operating. Just a bit louder.

  • My Dad was transferred to SF-88 in 1958. One day while Dad was off duty taking me out to the beach, the sirens started to blare, the missiles were up in a flash. A false alarm. A civilian aircraft had not identified itself fast enough and the Nike's stood ready to take it down, an unforgettable day.

  • A  sound you never forget.

  • No zombies were harmed during the filming of this video.

  • George Romeros "Day of the Dead" 1985 was filmed on location for the outside scenes.

  • cool,they were everywhere,there were 13 sites around the pittsburgh area!!

  • That's about 1/4 the speed that they would raise into position when the system was in service.

  • In 2000, I visited SF-88 and made a nice little video which I will someday post here.
