NYC Tunnels

NYC Tunnels 1

Alien Caverns run deep beneath New York City somewhere near Grand Central Station and Park Avenue.  Patrick Cashin of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority recently captured the NYC Tunnels in the harrowing photographs seen here.

Do they look somewhat familiar?

Here’s a screenshot from Prometheus:

The NYC Tunnel project was first started back in 2006 but it won’t be completed until 2019.

“The tunnels extend from Sunnyside, Queens, to Grand Central, routing 24 trains per hour at peak capacity. That’s an amazing 162,000 passenger trips to and from Grand Central per day. These images by New Yorks’ Metropolitan Transportation Authority show the progress as of February 12, 2013.”

“This photo shows work on tunnels leading into caverns underneath Grand Central Terminal that will house a future concourse for arriving and departing Long Island Rail Road trains.”

I can’t imagine what it would be like to work in this environment on a daily basis.

“The Land of Giants” – Power Line Design

January 25th, 2013 | Robot, Space

The Land of Giants 1

I recommend you listen to Sigur Rós while reading this post.  Ok, please continue.

“The Land of Giants” is a concept from architecture & design firm Choi+Shine. It was proposed back in 2008 to grace the pristine Icelandic countryside, but unfortunately, the structures were never built.  Iceland is on the top of my list for future eco-travel destinations.  It’s an untouched land of hot springs, spurting geysers, glaciers and waterfalls, and these giant structures would be the perfect complement to the ghostly landscape which has been featured in movies such as Prometheus.

From the architects:

“Like the statues of Easter Island, it is envisioned that these one hundred and fifty foot tall, modern caryatids will take on a quiet authority, belonging to their landscape yet serving the people, silently transporting electricity across all terrain, day and night, sunshine or snow.”

I was amazed to find out that this design didn’t even win the competition… My only guess is that the judges were not ready for such a bold concept.  But the time is now!

Please write your local politician and request we replace all power lines with these Giant Alien Robot Sculptures.  Thank you.
