On April 3, the Daily Mail published a strange video sent to the editor by You Tube users. According to the editorial staff of the Daily Mail, the video captures the moment when the American military transported nuclear weapons through the city of Great Falls, located in Montana.
The video is being actively discussed both on the Daily Mail forum and on other sites, since the situation is truly alarming.
Unlike tanks, cannons and other types of weapons, nuclear charges are not transported to training grounds and are constantly kept in long-term storage sites, from where they are moved only when the warheads have exhausted their technological resource or … in case of war. Taking into account the situation in the world, in particular, the situation in Syria and North Korea, people made the assumption that nuclear warheads went there.
Nuclear war is, without a doubt, very bad. However, in reality, things could be even worse.
I have never been to a town called Great Falls, but thanks to the Internet services, you can take an instant virtual trip there. And as even a cursory study of the situation shows, Great Falls is a city worth seeing in real life, since many of Montana's tourist routes begin there. And they usually end in … Yellowstone National Park, to the border of which from the city only 200 miles in a straight line and 250 by car.
The question arises: what were the nuclear warheads doing in such proximity to the park? Or maybe the Daily Mail came up with everything, and in fact in the town of Great Falls they rented some kind of military refrigerator, in which the Pentagon transports its super-soldiers?
In fact, the Daily Mail is absolutely right, as the video captures the so-called Payload Transporter III - an auxiliary engineering truck for transporting, installing and maintaining the warheads of Minuteman missiles.
Promotional video:
And these missiles at the Pentagon are located in this area - at Warren AFB, Wyoming and at Malmstrom AFB, Montana. Nevertheless, the question arises: what, missiles there are on duty without warheads? Why did the military need to drag nuclear charges to the missiles? Or did the military dismantle these missiles as unnecessary?
There is one great service on the network that (which is useful to drivers) marks the federal highways along which the Pentagon transports its nuclear components.
As you can see, Great Falls is located quite far from all these routes, convoys of armored cars for local residents are nonsense, forcing them to grab hold of video cameras. Moreover, what is interesting: the airbases with Minuteman missiles are far from the city, but Yellowstone is close.
Now let's turn to the seismic diagrams of the park, let's see what happened on March 4 and March 7 this year. And the sensors there showed the following picture:

For people observing the caldera, it was an absolute mystery - what are these strange rectangular signals, signals of definitely artificial, mechanical origin? By all accounts, everyone decided that geologists were drilling something in the caldera, most likely wells for new sensors.
However, now, after the Daily Mail reported on the observation of a military convoy with nuclear charges near the caldera, the situation is not so clear-cut. But what if wells in the caldera were drilled for nuclear charges?
Earlier, geologists have already reported that the situation in the caldera is alarming: the pressure and concentration of magma under the magma dome is increasing, which can lead to an uncontrolled explosion. In this situation, some scientists suggested that the explosion of a supervolcano can be made relatively controllable by blowing up the dome of the magma chamber with nuclear charges and thereby relieving excess pressure. For Yellowstone National Park, this will, of course, be a disaster, but this local eruption will help avoid a global cataclysm for the entire United States.
Thus, there are three explanations for the observation of a military convoy of nuclear warheads in a quiet Montana town. This could be a routine removal of warheads for maintenance, which the military simply decided to organize along a different route. It can also be a preparation for war, for example, the renewal of nuclear charges on missiles on alert.
However, this may also be a preparation for the explosion of a supervolcano in order to relieve tectonic stress. At the same time, the recent obscure exercises of rescuers in the caldera, during which all the roads in the park were blocked, make us think more and more about the correctness of the latest version.
