Were those obviously hardened to withstand the impact of an jet aeroplane? I doubt it.

Semi-related, there are some very cool converted datacentres in the UK.

The Bunker operates an underground datacentre out of a former military installation. Radar base if memory serves me. That’s definitely hardened from airplane attacks and I believe is used by some hyperscalers.

No idea, just answering the “Why not pick a location not within a "major airport flight path"? It seems much cheaper.” question.
