An old underground backup generator for Sweden's biggest airport. It's right outside the airport so while trying to find it I felt a bit suspicious.

This is actually inside and underground, not outdoors.

Weird. Why's it underground? Seems like bad idea. Don't generators require huge parts and let off bunch of gas. Sweden was starved for land? What's going on here!!!?

!schizos I don't like this!!!

Maybe the airport used to have military radar and/or a full SAM battery and this was to make sure they stayed powered even if the airport was bombed. Looks like some Cold War-era type of shit to me.

Why's it underground

Protection from crashing planes. Since it's dug into rock you don't have to worry much about the mole people.

don't generators require huge parts

Depends on the type. For one to run an airport on minimum systems you're not looking at a huuuuge one. The main requirement for space would probably be fuel rather than the jenny.
