CME Expedition 1

Location: Skien, Norway.
Members: 001.
Type: Shelter.
Status: Active / In Use.

Headed out on a solomission to check out one of Skien city's bomb shelters. Did a little research before I headed out, and it turns out this is still in use in one way or another. There are quite a few of these shelters around. They are remnants of the cold war era, when we were still afraid of being nuked by the Soviet Union. Not very likely to happen today, thus a lot of these shelters have been decomissioned. Some are still in use as part of the civil preparedness program, some have been sold off, but there are a few that seems to have been just closed, locked up and forgotten. I went to check out the status of one. Specific location is given on a need to know basis. The interesting thing about this one is that it might possibly be connected to the train tunnel which runs underneath parts of the city center. But hey, one expedition at a time, right? Here we go...

Main Entrance

   

Duck & Cover

Blast Proof Doors

Burnt Out Air Intakes

Locked

Rusty Gates

Emergency Exit

Air Intake, Lights On

A Look Throught the Air Intake

From the looks of things, this place is still in use, judging by the lights being on inside the emergency exit. No obvious way into this place. Taking a peek through the air intake by the emergency exit reveals white walls, no sign of moisture, and steep stairs heading down into the ground to the right. Strange how the emergency exit is so well kept on the inside, while the main entrance showed no sign of maintainance. A wild guess is that the emergency exit is still in use as a secondary emergency exit from the train tunnels, while the former bomb shelter part of the system is left disused. Anyway, thinking about the underground world that lies hidden just behind these doors gives me thrills.
