A high speed elevator for over a minute would put him very deep and it would get very very hot, to the point of it being deadly. A lot of the stories I heard had a commonality of somehow changing the laws of physics. Another element is why they would even try it. A lot of MIC grifter concepts advertise fantasies to the generals and joint chiefs because it sells, and the top brass usually doesn't know shit about science and engineering. The actual implementation of projects (if they ever break ground at all) ends up being more practical. So the question of why, going that deep will quickly have diminishing returns - it's still subject to earthquakes, and nobody has bunker busters like the US does. Extremely deep places would be a nightmare for infrastructure upkeep due to the heat alone. The only time people dig really deep to where it gets hot is because the earth has something in the soil that will bring more money than it cost to get there. A straight train tunnel will only occasionally hit a valuable mineral, so the whole idea of the project will only be cost.

It simply doesn't add up my friend, it provides no advantage to flying out to a bunker, and only presents extreme costs.

Fair enough.

At the same time, I don't like dismissing everything I hear from ex-service members as bullshit. I can believe he was exaggerating or embellishing things, but I don't think he was completely fabricating it. I thought one of my friends who was a combat engineer venting about how he had to use a vegetation cleaner on a child was bullshit too (way younger) until he blew his own head off.

Yikes!! Sorry to hear that. Yeah, there's def hidden bunkers and tunnels that aren't publicly known. But they're not like some mole people level network across one of the largest countries in the world.
