    		Yes. Some additional interesting info.

    What do the charred remains of Flight 93, the original photo of Einstein sticking out his tongue, and Edison's patent for the light bulb have in common? They're all stowed under Iron Mountain. 200 feet below the ground, this retired limestone mine houses 1.7 million square feet worth of vaults. The US government is the biggest tenant, and the identities of 95% of vault owners are confidential. We do know that Warner Brothers, the Smithsonian Institution, and Corbis all have vaults there. Thousands of historic master recordings, photo negatives, and original film reels live here. Iron Mountain is also home to Room 48, a data center backing up some of America's biggest companies. Two waves of armed guards protect the entrance, and it's said they inspect guests so thoroughly that even the TSA would be embarrassed
