Authorities are probing a break-in at the SF-88 Nike Missile Site in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Between March 15 and 19, the site was vandalized with hate speech spray-painted and hazardous chemicals dumped inside. It's believed that the vandals may have sustained burns from the chemicals. The SF-88 site is significant as the most restored of nearly 300 Nike missile sites built for Cold War defense against potential Soviet attacks. The National Park Service emphasizes its historical importance and ongoing preservation efforts with volunteers.
The SF-88 Nike Missile Site magazine suffered extensive vandalism, including spray-painted hate speech and hazardous chemical spills, prompting an ongoing investigation by authorities.
This site was one of the last lines of defense against Soviet bombers during the Cold War and is now the most fully restored Nike site in the U.S.
