"Starting in 1980, Bruce Beach began acquiring old school buses. Buying them for approximately $300 a piece, Bruce wasn't interested in their engines or their mobility, but rather in their solid, sage structures.

Slowly accumulating a collection of 42 buses and storing them in a tightly packed formation in an old lot near his home, by 1985 Bruce was ready for the next step of his plan.
...
After Bruce finished setting up the school buses in a tight formation in a large swath of his 12.5-acre property, he began the slow, difficult process of cutting their chassis and turning them into a massive, interconnected structure of winding corridors, rooms, storage spaces and bulkheads.
...
Making sure the buses' chassis were airtight, he began pouring concrete over the structure, encasing it forever in the thick, resilient substance.

After the concrete had set and dried, Bruce proceeded to cover the construction with an additional 14 feet of dirt.

When he was done, the entire underground complex was completely invisible to outside observers - and safe under a thick layer of concrete and earth."
