We have shown many photos in the past of deceptive buildings. We truly believe they all hold a valuable teaching point regardless if they are located in your area or not. The idea is to spark your curiosity to evaluate all of the buildings in your response area. Perhaps more importantly when evaluating buildings and building construction, you should always suspect that what you are looking at my not be the case. Engineer Steven Negedly from Orlando Engine 9 sent in some more photos that prove this point. These pictures are taken at the headquarters building for a local mass-transit bus company. The business type alone should have you on the look-out for something out of the ordinary, and the vent grills in place of some of the windows should be the dead giveaway. Well the backside of that “structure” reveals the truth, it’s simply a facade that contains the fuel tanks (biodiesel, diesel, and gasoline.) Keep your eyes open, know your area, and always expect the unexpected.
