Might that not be a case of the building having a monster concentration of ferrous metal?
Comment on Does anyone know what's inside this building?
WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoFun fact: there are some big magnets in there. I have a compass on my backpack and it had a lot of trouble when I passed that building.

It’s not Gina have a solid iron core or anything, even if it’s meant to be bombproof, it’s mostly going to be reinforced concrete.
Could be that the NSA messes with GPS signals there too thwart drones.
I was under the impression that it’s an old Bell Telephone trunk/exchange, that has since been repurposed by a federal alphabet soup as a data center.

Lots of high voltage and inductors which effect local magnetic fields. Probably not too many permanent magnets though, you can see the same thing at local switching stations of you try.
