The facility is the former Americold underground warehouse (a converted limestone mine) in Kansas City, Kansas. It was once described as the world’s largest underground cold-storage facility. A fire started there on December 28, 1991, and burned for months; at the time it held about 245 million pounds of food. Large sections were later abandoned and left to decay.
