shootout between Optimus Prime and Megatron in Transformers...
and The Island, coincidentally, both by Michael Bay

Me and two of my friends got inside the perimeter of the building
last year We found somewhere to actually enter and were about to go
in when we looked up. At a window on one of the upper floors we saw
a person waving at us. Even though it was the middle of the day and
blazing hot sunshine at that, the lone figure totally spooked us
out. We beat a hasty retreat.
Having read that blog however and marvelled at the author's
pictures of the buildinng's interior I've decided to try again this
year.
As far as security goes, the central station, like many of
Detroit's abandoned buildings is precisely that: literally
abandoned. We didn't see a soul during our visit (apart from that
disturbing lone figure) and attempts to secure the building were
haphazard at best. It was as if people had managed to somehow block
out and forget about the presence of this enourmous hulking wreck
that dominates the area.

I've made it my mission to see the Michigan Central Station!
I'm sure it's an act of trespass - does anyone know what security
is like??
I just found this website of some others who went to look at it 2
years ago - http://brnation.d2sector.net/detroit/
