Was working in a cavernous underground parking garage of a in the software industry mogul's 55 to 60,000 sq ft. estate...
The parking garage is like a mini underground sports arena - 35 car capacity... High domed ceiling & it was dark in the garage and I was toning out some stuff, when all of the sudden two giant (D-8 caterpillar enginges kicked on), and scared the crap out of me. They were suspended about 30 feet off the ground in these black cages, so I didn't notice them when I was in there!
They were to power up back-up generators for the estate in the event of a long term (20 some day) powere black-out.
The engineering guy was testing the system that day. Man it was noisey!
