Deep underground in New Orleans rests an abandoned cold war fallout shelter constructed in 1962 and left to decay in the mid 90s. It remains flooded and abandoned to this day and when it was open could house 200-300 people (mostly city officials and law enforcement). I was very lucky to get inside this place when the massive bomb proof door made of reinforced steel, concrete, and many other materials was left open for some reason. These pictures were taken a while back and the door has since been resealed and welded shut. In some spots water reaches your chest and smells heavily of diesel fuel probably from all the generators. Easily a top 5 favorite explore in New Orleans!
