buying a new property is always an
0:01
exciting moment it doesn't matter if
0:03
you're buying your first or your 10th
0:05
house it's just as thrilling to pick and
0:07
choose this firefighter couldn't wait to
0:09
move into his new home and he ended up
0:11
finding a huge surprise in his backyard
0:14
American citizen John Smith was
0:16
oblivious when he bought his new house
0:18
but this purchase ended up being the
0:21
most astonishing moment of his life
0:22
thanks to some neighborhood rumors the
0:25
previous owner had mentioned tales about
0:26
something that might have been buried in
0:28
the backyard
0:29
John couldn't ignore these rumors he was
0:31
too curious so he decided to spring into
0:33
action
0:34
was prepared to do anything it takes to
0:36
get to the bottom of this he took a
0:38
shovel went to his backyard and started
0:40
digging he quickly realized that he
0:43
would need something bigger than a
0:44
shovel he had no idea what to look for
0:46
but he ended up purchasing more powerful
0:48
tools
0:50
he didn't have a particular plan about
0:51
where to dig exactly and how so he ended
0:54
up making small pits after digging four
0:56
of these he just ended up with a ruined
0:58
lawn he was starting to worry that the
1:01
thing he was looking for might have
1:03
already been destroyed by his careless
1:04
surge exasperated he stopped digging
1:07
John had a new plan to search for this
1:09
hidden treasure he went to the town hall
1:12
to get every possible information about
1:13
his house most of these documents were
1:16
the same John already knew about
1:18
but thanks to a small sketchy drawing on
1:20
one of the layouts John found new
1:22
information according to the documents
1:25
in 1961 a company that built pools back
1:27
asked for a building permit but there
1:29
was no pool in the backyard at all but
1:32
then why did the company need this
1:33
clearance at all
1:35
upon discovering the drawings John
1:37
understood that he needed to be much
1:38
more careful with his search
1:40
he hired professionals to help him who
1:43
brought the appropriate tools needed for
1:44
the job thanks to the metal detectors
1:47
they finally made a discovery that would
1:49
bring them closer to finding out what
1:50
the treasure was exactly John was
1:53
ecstatic when the detectors started to
1:54
beep in two separate places he marked
1:57
the two spots accurately and he retired
1:59
to rest for a bit and a plan for his
2:01
next course of action
2:03
John grabbed his shovel again and
2:05
started digging but this time he knew
2:07
exactly where he needed to do that
2:09
it didn't take long for him to hit
2:10
something hard with the Spade he was so
2:13
close to finding out what this mystery
2:14
was about it was quick to realize that
2:17
what he found couldn't be a simple well
2:18
or a pipe but he ended up having more
2:21
questions about his Discovery instead of
2:23
less the concrete shape that he found
2:25
looked like an entrance that leads
2:27
somewhere
2:28
but where does it go exactly
2:30
we maybe can imagine how excited he must
2:32
have been finally putting an end to this
2:35
Enigma sadly after this he had to wait
2:37
for a little until experts have checked
2:39
the site he had no idea what he could
2:41
find down there it could have the risk
2:43
of collapse or something dangerous could
2:45
lurk below but John was too curious to
2:48
wait the Moment of Truth Came John
2:50
descended and he found something he
2:53
couldn't believe his eyes as he realized
2:54
what was in front of them and we bet you
2:56
won't believe either
2:58
when John went down he didn't see
3:00
anything in the dark but when his eyes
3:02
adapted to the dim lighting he made out
3:04
what the metal shapes were a staircase
3:06
John was dumbfounded about this surprise
3:08
but his curiosity quickly took over
3:11
he started wondering what kind of risk
3:13
was he taking by going down there it was
3:15
obvious it wasn't a reliable structure
3:17
anymore having been built 50 years ago
3:19
and underground for God knows how long
3:22
so he invited some friends over to help
3:24
him make the situation a bit safer John
3:26
admitted to himself that staying safe is
3:28
much more important than satisfying his
3:30
curiosity after a lot of brainstorming
3:33
they finally developed his strategy
3:35
together they used more concrete and
3:37
metal reinforcements around the entrance
3:39
to make the area around the staircase
3:41
safer and prevent the tunnel from
3:42
collapsing
3:43
sadly it became clear that they couldn't
3:45
save the original spiral staircase so
3:48
they put a ladder in its place John
3:50
cloned down the ladder and finally
3:51
reaped the fruits of his labor
3:53
he had a million ideas about what he
3:55
might see but he still ended up shocked
3:57
when Jon got down safely he was
4:00
surprised to discover a huge room under
4:01
his backyard but that's not all he found
4:04
a whole network of tunnels after
4:06
thinking about it a bit it soon became
4:08
evident that he found an underground
4:10
nuclear bunker
4:11
during the Cold war between the United
4:13
States and the Soviet Union many people
4:15
became paranoid and commissioned such
4:17
monkers to be made under their homes
4:19
so the pool construction company saw
4:21
this as an opportunity and added the
4:23
bunker to their product range they
4:26
already understood the basic technique
4:27
needed to construct them after all
4:30
but what did John do to the bunker The
4:32
Next Step John decided was the
4:34
restoration since he needed additional
4:36
money to accomplish this he turned to
4:38
GoFundMe he posted a request explaining
4:41
his situation and stating that he needs
4:43
financial help to restore an old bunker
4:45
that he found in his backyard
4:47
the entrance of the bunker was the
4:49
trickiest part he estimated that he
4:50
would need around two thousand dollars
4:53
he had a message for everyone who helped
4:55
him with a donation after he finished
4:56
the entrance he said that it was now
4:58
safe to enter and the staircase is
5:00
finally ready
