What is the 'White House Big Dig'? Secret behind the mysterious structure built after 9/11 attacks revealed
The White House journalists, at the time, were told by officials that it was just standard utility upgrade construction.
Just as President George W Bush was set to complete his term, satellite images captured a mysterious white structure on the White House grounds, south of the West Wing in July, 2007. The unusually large structure remained on the grounds for nearly two years under the Bush administration with journalists beginning to question its purpose as no one ever saw it being built.
According to reporters, the structure — which looked like a shed — just appeared on the grounds one day. The White House journalists, at the time, were told by officials that it was just standard utility upgrade construction. However, there was much more to it, according to History's documentary The Secret of the White House.
