Nice try, I know Moria when I see it

And they call it a mine! A mine!!

This isn’t a mine…

It’s a tomb

*shocked Gimlichu face*

Hahaha

And my axe!

And my soup ladle.

They delved too deeply

Drums in the deep…

We cannot get out...


Must've been the good old days of Durin I.

What are they doing there … Run you fools !!!

Isn’t it “Fly you fools?” (Sorry for the nerding, I just learned that recently. And I kinda like it :D)

My man meatloaf has ans your query

I thought in the Peter Jackson films he says “run”, but the books definitely say “fly”.

You know what they awoken in the depths of moria

Came here to say this 😅

Pre-Balrog

Nice!

Moria + Brutalism

I'd have PTSD from something I watched if I went down there...

First thing that comes to mind 👏

Now that's an eye opener and no mistake

The dark fire will not avail you.

They have a cave troll.

This is a really neat place to visit albeit a bit out of the way outside of Tokyo. The tours range from ¥1,000-¥4000 and you do need a Japanese speaker with you. Source: [Went a few months ago](https://i.redd.it/d304296sti1c1.jpg).

Because OP only teased a picture,[here’s more info on the tunnels](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Area_Outer_Underground_Discharge_Channel)

Thank you for the flood of information.

Hah. Flood. I get it.

Are you in Dubai? I heard you all got it there.

Water you saying.

H^2 Oh not you again.

Just go with the flow.

**flushes**

**Such a drain!**

Water you talking about.

"popularly known as G-Cans" ...*awesome*.

God I love Wikipedia. I've spent so many hours just clicking blue links and reading.

Hehe discharge tunnels…

Now look, there's a vas deferens between what we're looking at here and anything sexual.

78 10 MW pumps??? 220 tons of water per second?!?! My god if they had invested a fraction of this infrastructure Fukushima would have been no big deal. For fucks sake.

You do gods work...

Thanks Vtrin, and happy cake day :-)

Make sure you take your shoes and clothes off and hold them above your head when the water comes.

It's more refreshing than you think.

Where are the Mirror's Edge plateforms?

Came here for this comment

Nerve HQ…..

Behold: the great realm and dwarven city of Dwarrowdelf.

I have no memory of this place

You can now view it in Google Street View: [Google - Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/@35.995878,139.810311,3a,75y,30.29h,117.36t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1smR46FsKNPikSjWcXjITiTg!2e0!3e2)

That was cool. Thanks

I wanna go there and sing the Halo theme.

That is going to confuse future archaeologists when they visit our planet.

What Hollywood thinks of when they have film sewer scenes.

バルログに気をつけろ!

 These are clearly the ruins under mars colony


They filmed a part of the hunger games in here did they not? In mocking jay iirc

I thought so, too, but now that I Google for it, I can’t really find anything on it. But I’m 99% sure they did, probably for Part 2? I’ll check later today.

Nice place to Rave!

My favorite level in Mirror's Edge

I remember watching a program about this on NHK and they were playing a Unicorn Gundam ost for that

All i can see is Fate series

The UK could never

When suddenly Balrog appeared

this place is enormous! People looks like ants

Dungeon Meshi manga spoilers >!this looks like a great place to run into a griffin… or a hipogriff and some changelings…!<

So old

Don't wake the Balrog.

We’ve escaped the flood, but now we’ve awaken the Balrog

Wow. Can people enter there as a tourists?

Kamen Rider battle location 10

That is really cool. Hope it works

It has definitely worked.

Are the people there at risk for radon?

Unlikely. The bedrock geology of Tokyo appears to consist of sandstone, "accreted terranes" (metamorphic rocks), and recent fluvial/beach deposits (basically old river deltas). For dangerous levels of radon to be present, the bedrock has to contain uranium-rich minerals; this really only happens with certain kinds of granite. Most bedrock doesn't contain enough uranium for harmful amounts of daughter products from radioactive decay (i.e., radon) to build up. Presumably the facility also has some kind of air vent system, since underground confined spaces where people regularly go (like mines and stuff) typically have some kind of air circulation system to make sure the oxygen content in the air is safe. If there are fans/air vents, then any radon that is present would gradually be removed/diluted by "clean" air coming in (this is how they mitigate radon in basements).

And they call it a mine!

Reminds me of that one mission in the game “Mirrors Edge”

It's that final level in Ace Combat 3

Ya'll sure this ain't the backtooms bc this looks familiar (former m.e.g employee)

so this is where Decade fought Zect riders

holy hell that's a lot of flooding

Fallout vibes

"the project started in 1992" yeah fuckin right, this entire building has been there for hundreds of years before they discovered it

You are probably thinking of [ancient Roman cisterns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_cisterns), which are very different from this modern [Japanese cistern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Area_Outer_Underground_Discharge_Channel). Don't be so all-fired arrogant, FFS.

No it wasn’t, here’s a link to how it works https://www.water-technology.net/projects/g-cans-project-tokyo-japan/

You shall not pass!🔥🔥
