Eeew... Otay Mesa border tunnel fills with sewage, 5 illegals rescued.

5 Trapped in Border Tunnel Filled with Sewage
The secret border tunnel is believed to connect Mexico to Otay Mesa, a distance of 150 meters | NBC San Diego
Five people were trapped in a tunnel near the U.S.-Mexico border and had to be rescued early Wednesday.
The four men and one woman were discovered inside the tunnel partly filled with sewage in Otay Mesa. The tunnel is believed to lead to Mexico, which
is about 150 meters away.
The five were trapped at a point in the tunnel where a fence made it impossible to get through to the U.S.
U.S. Border Patrol agents used a dog to find the opening in the 9800 block of Via De La Amistad behind a company called Artic Containers. Agents
believe a manhole on the Mexican side is the entrance.
San Diego and Chula Vista firefighters worked for about 45 minutes to dig out the trapped victims, bringing them out one by one.
They then hosed down each person because of their exposure to sewage. The men were stripped to their underwear. The woman was taken behind a tarp
where she was hosed off. A robot was sent into the hole to investigate, but it got stuck according to officials.
Border tunnels are not new to the Tijuana-San Diego region. In November 2010, a tunnel running 600 yards under the border was discovered along with
nearly 30 tons of pot.
Soon after, a second tunnel was discovered equipped with lighting, ventilation, and a rail system for drugs to be carried on a small cart.
U.S. authorities have discovered more than 125 clandestine tunnels along the Mexican border since the early 1990s, though many were crude and
incomplete.

Woooosh,
Your Nomad handle is the sound they probably heard. I hope they kept their mouths closed.

Oh well....maybe after spending another fifty billion dollars, they'll come up with a robot that knows how to swim.
Man....these guys really have it together, don't they.

They'll borrow $20 mil from the ChiCom's to design a robot designed to retrieve stuck robots. Hell, just give me $10k, a wetsuit, and a tetanus shot
and I'll retrieve the mofo.

One of the "illegals" (a man named Woody) was quoted as saying "I am a citizen of the U.S., I just like to explore the sewers for treasure".

Just out of morbid curiosity, what's up with your fascination with the "Woodman"? No really..
[C16: from Latin fascināre, from fascinum a bewitching]
usage A person can be fascinated by or with another person or thing. It is correct to speak of someone's fascination with a person or thing; one can
also say a person or thing has a fascination for someone
