    My best friends dad was one of the last security guys there. I'm positive he knows every guy you guys mentioned that worked security. He has told me the story about the news copter as well. Also has pictures of him and another guy with ARs in front of a down Schweitzer hello that ran out of gas and autorotated on property.

    they got to play with some fun toys out there!

    I know the special response team trained with SAWs and I've heard rumors of surface-to-air missiles. I also know the team would escort the nuclear weapon triggers off RF's property and they were heavily armed.

    The gist of what I know about the site is that they came up missing a fair amount of radioactive material and during the clean up it was (or at least most of it was) recovered...it was lining the air ducts.

    I also read a bit of material that a secretary there wrote...about radioactive material being mixed into cement and poured into molds to from large blocks...and that a year later some of the blocks still hadn't hardened. Other molds that leaked the mix into the ground there and she claimed it ended up in the water supply for Arvada.

    I think there was an insane fire there at one point. If it's true, they thought it would be a good idea to case the nuclear material in magnesium.

    From on a guy who trained there during the closure as a hazmat firefighter.

    Didn't they cause small earthquakes throughout Denver by digging too deep out there?

    If I'm ever at a party and the cops come to arrest people. Ill blindfold myself, throw the ball gag in, handcuff my hands, and hide in a closet. Police never arrest hostages!
