So, I think we can all agree that Tom Hanks is fucking amazing.
Who am I kidding? He's a GODDAMN 👏 NATIONAL 👏TREASURE 👏 !
Like, ACTUAL national treasure.
Anyway, in true rockstar fashion, Tom is extremely active on social media. Sure, he mostly posts pictures of lost items he finds while strolling New York City, but he's Tom fucking Hanks and he can do as he pleases. Plus, they're pretty hilarious, to be honest.
I mean...
ANYWAY! Today, Tom posted a photo of this building on social media and it had everyone feeling some type of way.
This is the scariest building I've ever seen! WTF goes on inside?? Hanx.
Yep.
Pretty much.
While some were shaking in their boots at the sight of this windowless building, others graciously took the time to chime in with a few ideas on what exactly may go on there.
Believable.
YES.
But in the midst of all that, some people actually managed to figure it out.
Formerly an AT&T building, the 550-foot tall skyscraper in Lower Manhattan — known as the Long Lines Building — is now used as a listening post for the NSA.
Film short, Project X, details the history (and secrecy!) behind the NYC fortress.

The film was created by Henrik Moltke and Laura Poitras as a project between online publication, The Intercept, and documentary film unit, Field of Vision.
So, that's that.
Thanks for the nightmares!
