"It was discovered in a neighborhood near the airport in the border city of Tijuana after a resident raised the alarm, military officials said."

I hope he has his affairs in order. That's the biggest shame of it all.

anyone have an up-to-date tunnel count? I'm surprised the ground hasn't caved in with all the soil that's been excavated over the years.

I'm assuming that is in the Otay area, plenty of
warehouses, etc., on the US side, to tunnel to,
I believe I remember other tunnels there. Yes indeed,
hope the neighbor is not identified for his sake

Geez. Couple of years ago, the Showtime series Weeds had an amazing depiction of this phenomenon. Almost wondered who their technical advisors were.
Just maybe folks who were involved?
Bottom line is that money talks.

I think the Brits and European are more amused by this drug war than Americans.

US officials said in June that more than 150 secret tunnels for smuggling people and drugs into the United States have been found since 1990
