Did a project on this a year ago for an Architecture class.

We got a tour up the tower to about the 11th floor. Pretty Sweet!

I’ll have to dig some pictures I have up and post em.

It was a guided tour earlier in the month, we had some bald dude showing us around. I wish I could see more of the terminal that is sort of off limits to the general public but I’m not about to trespass or anything 🙂

sounds like the [Buffalotours.com](http://Buffalotours.com) tour

and the last time anyone broke in to the point of triggering the alarm, it took BPD less then a minute to arrive at the terminal. and it will take more then that amount of time to make it anyplace cool …

slime city was filmed in the mail building IIRC, im talking about the filming that happened IN the main concourse area

Yeah that was it, I was there for the train show the prior week and decided to take the tour for the whopping 5 bucks it cost. The guy made it seem like the place was pretty well locked down but even if it wasn’t it wouldn’t be worth the risk imo.
