Rescue from Abandoned Missile Silo | Denver News

Arapahoe County deputies pulled off a daring rescue from an abandoned missile silo—this is the second such rescue in just seven days. A 28-year-old woman was trapped 60 feet underground, found after deputies spotted suspicious activity near the fairgrounds. A 19-year-old man climbed out using a rope ladder, but the woman needed fire rescue to be safely extracted. Both were cited for trespassing. These Cold War-era silos, once built to withstand nuclear attacks, now pose serious dangers. This marks the fourth silo rescue in the county this year, prompting authorities to warn the public to stay away from these hazardous sites—thanks to proactive patrols, the woman was saved from a potentially life-threatening ordeal.
