Best Answers

I have been to the nuclear bomb test site and personally seen the results of a nuclear bomb. Depending on the size and location of the blast, the Fort Knox depository would be completely destroyed. The gold would be vaporized and nothing remaining of the vault. read more

The gold at Fort Knox is physically protected by a granite lined vault and guarded by several divisions' worth of troops and presumably air defence too, ruling out all non-state attackers.
