An abandoned Cold War-era bunker that hid...

The bomb shelter under the Brooklyn Bridge became known only in 2006, when it was found by workers checking the structure of the bridge. Previously, the authorities did not disclose its location for security reasons.

The forgotten bunker is located in one of the stone columns of the bridge on the Manhattan side.

It contained supplies dating back to 1957 and 1962.

The stockpile was very large and included medicines, barrels of water, paper blankets, and 352,000 packages of crackers.

Some compare these dates to important events that occurred at the time - 1957, the Soviet Union launched the Sputnik satellite and 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis. - the Cuban Missile Crisis.

This bomb shelter is one of the secret rooms on this bridge. Also on the Brooklyn side of the bridge is the Anchorage, which is 8 rooms with framed bridge abutments designed by John Roebling in the Gothic style.

The most interesting thing about this discovery is that tens of thousands of people crossing the bridge every day do not suspect that the bunker exists.
