CSX Corporation

The link leads to CSX Transportation, however the link is titled CSX Corporation

Should that be fixed, or is it correct?

Bunker/Blast/Source?

The walls of the bunker were made of reinforced concrete designed to withstand a nuclear blast in Washington, D.C.

Is there a source on this tidbit? The resort is approximately 100 miles from Washington, and has numerous mountains of 2500+ foot elevation intervening. A sheet of tissue paper would likely be sufficient to "withstand" a nuclear blast under those conditions. 71.171.72.171 (talk) 01:40, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced / Ungrammatical Material - Bunker Section

This material was added by an IP (only) edit in December 2009. It reads as If some words have been left out. I have altered it to make grammatical sense, can't be absolutely certain this is what was meant.

Original

The bunker was designed to be incorporated into the public spaces of the hotel as to not draw suspicion. Much of the bunker space was visible to the public during for years undetected including The Exhibition Hall in the West Virginia Wing which differs from other public spaces in the hotel due to large concrete columns present for reinforcing. Adjacent to the entrance of The Exhibition Hall is one of the original blast doors which can now be seen openly, the original screen which used to hide its presence removed.
