Nuclear shelter found under Brooklyn Bridge

March 15, 2006
A stockpile of provisions that were made for the survival of residents if New York City had been hit by a nuclear attack has been found inside the masonry foundations of Brooklyn Bridge, on this date.

City workers had been conducting a regular structural inspection of the bridge when they came across the cold-war-era hoard of water drums, medical supplies, survivor blankets, drugs and food in the 350,000 Civil Defense All Purpose Survival Crackers. These are said to been put there in the 1950s. And if you hurry, some of those crackers are still on sale at Lots Less.

And so it goes
