What the hell happened to Vault 87?

Would be good to have a way to make the normal vault door work and actually go into Vault 87 so at least it would show up as a mark on the map. Perhaps the area immediately around the door could be made less radioactive in some kind of tunnel or something or is that just wishful thinking? Put some real prizes there and a couple of powerful super mutes to kill. Coming out of Vault 87 through the normal vault entrance would then mark clearly on the map you had gone to the vault and, impossibly perhaps, allow you to fast travel to the (tunnel) entrance.

 

Just a thought

Who knows. Perhaps it also served in the Fallout 3 parallel world as a nuclear weapons repository, like this one near Alberquerque, New Mexico:

Kirtland Underground Munitions Storage Complex, where 2,450 nuclear weapons are stored. Underground storage of 490,000 sq ft (= 45522 m2 = 11.24 acres). One hell of a vault.

 

Were you curious about the real Raven Rock? The Raven Rock Alternate Joint Communications Center (AJCC)

Alternate National Military Command Center is located in Raven Rock mountain near Waynesboro, Pennsylvania.

I even found a map of its floorplan:

Other interesting underground facilities in the Fallout 3 area:

 

Alternate National Warning Facility in Olney, MD.

Mount Weather High Point Special Facility in Berryville, VA.

Mount Pony (formerly the central node for all American electronic funds transfer activities, now a Library of Congress archive) in Culpeper, VA

FEMA VIP Evacuation and Support Facility for Continuity of Government in Boonsboro, MD.

FEMA VIP Evacuation and Support Facility for Continuity of Government in Mercersburg, PA.

 

 

Raven Rock, along with its counterpart for the House of Representatives and the Senate was built as a fallout shelter for the US military leadership (to govern the Military in case of a nuclear attack on DC) during the cold war, it was abandoned to the best of my knowledge
