secret tunnels

Apparently there is this crazy network of secret tunnels under the city of Moscow. Construction workers just uncovered one near the Kremlin and now federal agents are trying to keep it all secret. This article along with other counts claim that "subterranean Moscow is honeycombed with secret facilities" that were meant for Communist Party officials in the event of a nuclear war, and are still maintained "just in case".

One of the lines runs all the way out to the suburbs and is equipped to "sustain the lives of thousands of people for up to 30 years". (!!!!) And there may or may not still be "food depots, generators, sleeping quarters, cinemas and even swimming pools" down there!!

One of my classmates came across this guy that photographs this city's underground tunnels. (Some must be less secretive than others.) He uses HDR processing (ala Adam's experiments last year) on the images so they're really detailed. These are my favorites, but check out the others here.
