The Enigmatic Tower of Manhattan

In the middle of Manhattan rises a terrifying windowless skyscraper that can withstand an atomic blast, making it an ideal setting for conspiracy thrillers. The Long Lines Building was located at 33 Thomas Street in Manhattan and was the centerpiece of AT&T's Long Lines division, which housed solid state switching equipment that required strict security and ample space. The building was conceived as the world's largest facility for connecting long-distance telephone connections. At 550 feet, the skyscraper is the equivalent of a 50-story tower, but only has 29 floors. Its only openings are a series of vent covers designed to hide microwave satellite arrays, which communicate with ground relay stations and satellites in space. Designed to hold large amounts of valuable information, the building has near-impenetrable security and is built to withstand nuclear fallout, making it self-sufficient for the survival of 1,500 people within its walls for two weeks, with water and food for the occupants and thousands of gallons of fuel to power the generators. For many New Yorkers, 33 Thomas Street has been a source of mystery for years. Rumors indicate that the skyscraper is more than just a nerve center for long-distance phone calls, but also appears to be one of the most important surveillance sites for the National Security Agency in the United States. If anyone ever visits the building, they can only get close enough to see the entrance, but no further than that. The eerie and disturbing building stands out against its surroundings and has caught the eye of many confused passers-by.#MysterySkyscraper#33ThomasStreet#ConspiracyThriller#NSASurveillance#ManhattanSecrets
