Although it may not look like it, this is the largest musical instrument in the world. The Great
Stalacpipe Organ in Luray Caverns, Virginia was invented in 1954 by Mr. Leland W. Sprinkle,
who worked at the Pentagon as a mathematician and electronics scientist.
After discovering that the stalactites in the Luray cave produce a musical tone when tapped,
he spent 3 years finding the perfect tones among all the stalactites and attached a small
rubber thumper to each. He then wired everything to this organ. Covering 3 1/2 acres,
that makes this organ the largest instrument in the world.
Here's a short video about it along with a demonstration. Really quite a lovely sound it makes.
Steve: "Incredible. Breathtaking place. Very interesting. Looks like it should
be in a movie called 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Organ'."
Tatt: "That's amazing and beautiful, from 'eureka' to realization.
(that's not a stalactite, it's my Tuning Fork!)"

The airport in question is the Kansai International Airport that opened in 1994.
There's an excellent article about the record and the airport in general at
Oddity Central, as well as a couple videos.
Alas, the airport may have to close sometime in the next few decades as it is sinking.

Res: "I thought we were ALL suppose to look like alcoholic drug addicts who
just got out of prison in ALL photos on ID stuff.. you know DL, and all others.
Doc: "Yeah, I can relate. When they took my Costco picture, they told me to
put my toes on the tape line they had on the floor. I put my toes there and
started to look up when hit the shutter. My picture looked like someone
who just crawled out of bed with a severe hangover.
My wife thought is was hysterical."
Julie: "They say if you look like your passport photo, you're too sick to travel."
