And, they say there’s plenty of evidence to back up their incredible claim.
The DIA has been a swirling dumpster fire of conspiracy theory since they built the thing. To be fair, building an airport with a ‘secret purpose’ makes sense…you have the advantage of air transport, huge swaths of space for storage, a built in security component, communications networks and facilities, large fuel stockpiles, etc.
Really, the only way to solve this one is for someone to ‘get on the inside’ and go spelunking in the lower depths under the place.
Do *I* think there’s some sort of NWOZOGCIACFROMGWTF!!11!!! connection to it? No. The last time .gov built an enormous bunker and camouflaged it to keep it secret was around 1960 when they built the Greenbrier. They managed to keep a lid on it for about 30 years, but that was before the age of cellphones, internet, and flying drones. I’d think that keeping a place that a secret in this day and age is much harder.
But..I’ve been wrong before. Maybe it really is the interstellar JFK airport from ‘Men In Black’. Nonetheless, an interesting article for those of us who like the idea of secret underground facilities and bunkers.
i’m trying hard to just resist seeing conspiracy in the loss of so many lmi bloggers lately.
I don’t trust the .gov as far as I can spit, but let’s get real. If such a secret “safe space” existed for .gov employees, bathroom challenged LGBT, or lost college souls, surely someone who built the palace would come forward. It would have taken hundreds and hundreds of trades people to construct the place. Where are their tall tales? It would have had to be union labor? And Union labor can’t hide secrets. I call bullshit.
Seem I recall a video tour directed by some female airport official that goes down into that space to explain what is there. This was a couple of years ago, after I read something about this “secret complex”. Perhaps not as mysterious as it might seem.
When looking at the link to wikipedia, I found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkhav_Mugan [Merkhav Mugan (Hebrew: מרחב מוגן) (lit. protected space), also known as a “miklat” and popularly known as a mamad, is a reinforced security room required in all new buildings by Israeli law.[1] A Merkhav Mugan is deemed preferable to a bomb shelter when the warning time is too short for residents to reach a shelter.] and http://www.ebd.co.il/enr4.pdf . You have to have a Sfe room (I hate the name panic room
The Capitol City of Panem….
Most international airports, and certainly all new ones have a “secret” quarantine facility. IAH in Houston has one. Not a ton of beds, but enough for a bus load of infected. It’s not on the airport map….
And wrt contractors telling secrets, maybe not so much. I was in a facility in the middle of Illinois that was not visible from the country road it was on. There was a berm and a screen of brush around most of it. You would drive right by if you weren’t looking… anyway, I was told it had 3 stories above ground and 7 under, once I was IN the building. You’d never know it if you weren’t told.
This was far and away from the only such facility.
So there are LOTS of contractors who work on those types of facilities, and can keep their mouths shut.

Heck, most people don’t know about the massive interconnected tunnel system under Chicago. I’ve been in the 4th or 5th sub-basement of one of the older buildings, and it just kept going down. Every level the ‘fit and finish’ got worse. You could hide anything you wanted down there.
Gonna call bullshit on the “massive interconnected tunnel system under Chicago.” There’s one “tunnel system” and it’s far from massive, it’s been abandoned for decades, and it’s in sich bad shape that it was responsible for a massive flood in the heart of the Loop couple of decades back.
And secret? Only as long as one doesn’t consider a couple of books, several websites, a TV documentary or two, and weeks of national media coverage of the flood to have any effect on secrecy.
Never called it secret, just unknown.
Way more than one by the way, and even a cursory look at the various ” books, several websites, a TV documentary or two…” would show you that. Off the top of my head, there are: abandon subway tunnels and stations, abandon coal delivery railroad tunnels, the storm water management project, current subway tunnels, con ed power and steam tunnels, power vaults, abandon sewers, working sewers, and acres of sub-sub-sub-basements.
The poor condition of the ‘one tunnel system’ whatever you are referring to, was NOT the cause of the flooding. A barge captain hit an embankment and poked a hole thru it. That allowed the river/canal water to flood the MASSIVE INTERCONNECTED TUNNEL system…
So I’ll stand by my comment, having actually seen part of it with my own two eyes.

There are huge rooms and tunnels down there. What are they for? When the airport was first built it had the most expensive automated baggage handling system in the world all running under the airport. The only problem was the fact that it didn’t work, couldn’t even handle skis they kept coming out the other end broken in half. So it was abandoned and replaced with a traditional set up and now you have tons of empty halls and rooms.
Huge project, lots of money. Contractors being told to dig a hole, pour the concrete. Not to hard to imagine an extra room or 20 being made with no one asking any questions. Been there countless times, huge area out in the middle of nowhere. Location is perfect for anything or any sized operation. Maybe the perfect location to stage the perfect fallback area.
