*Yes I know exactly where it is. It was built 720 feet under the Greenbrier
luxury hotel in West Virginia, it was built in the early 1960s and was big
enough to shelter more than 1000 people, but it was decommissioned in 1992
after nuclear ICBMs became more accurate and, despite vigorous efforts to
keep it secret, it became clear that the Russians knew all about it. The
hotel is still there and now they give tours of that once secret bunker,
it's a tourist attraction.*
