ANECDOTE

Hidden Culverts Beneath O'Hare

  • Justin recounts Jimmy Woo finding uncatalogued large culverts under Chicago O'Hare that suggest extensive hidden underground spaces.
  • The culverts' size, grid pattern, and absence from maps led them to suspect a secret bunker or infrastructure beneath the airport.
INSIGHT

Water Makes Underground Sites Viable

  • Justin links abundant, clean groundwater beneath the airport to the logic of building a secure underground facility there.
  • He reasons fresh, flowing water plus space makes the site ideal as a wealthy 'bug out' bunker or subterranean installation.
