Looking 80 ft. Below The Mud flood in Kansas City, Missouri

The old New York Life building at Kansas City's downtown is said to have been built in 1887-1890 in an era when there were no bulldozers or other construction machinery. When you take a closer look, it becomes apparent that during an age of horse and buggy and the same years (1880s) most every other building of any substance was said to have been built all over the United States, that something is off.

The regal construction of this building would not only be extremely cost prohibitive today, but the artisan work would be nearly impossible to accomplish. Additionally, the foundation was said to have been built over 60 feet below the building which makes the construction below ground level over half the height of the entire building!

To dig a hole with shovels over half the height of the building just to put a foundation for a 12 story tower does not make sense. This is another perfect example of a Mudflood building that originally had many stories that are now below but once were well above ground level. Take a look down the HOLE that still right outside the building and see below the Mudflood for yourself!
