Beale AFB site #3.
On May 24, 1962, during a contractor checkout, a terrific blast rocked launcher 1 at complex 4C at Chico, destroying a Titan I and causing heavy damage to the silo. After the investigation, the Air Force concluded that the two separate explosions occurred because of a blocked vent and blocked valve. On June 6, trouble again struck as a flash fire at another silo killed a worker.

I used to live near this site. The local city and county uses the facility to occasionaly train search and rescue teams. Due to the flooding of the facility they obtain close quarters scuba training.
