A sophisticated tunnel has been discovered near a major sporting venue and a university in Toronto, reports said Monday, with Canada on edge over the threat of possible extremist attacks.

The tunnel was about 23 feet long and 22.5 meters tall and was lit by an electric generator. The walls and ceilings had been reinforced and tools had been left inside.

I believe the dimensions must be a little off. 22.5 meters tall is almost 70 feet tall.

Regardless, this is very disturbing info.

What could go wrong?

Wonder if they tried waiting to see who showed up to work in the tunnel?

Thank God for that municipal worker - glad he was so diligent.

How they got this tunnel tug to this extent without being heard is what I don’t understand.

Basically, it’s a fair amount of dirt removed. Maybe these guys took it one bucket at a time, but I doubt it. So who was parking a van near this spot every day for several weeks? That might be the logical question to ask.

A tunnel which doesn’t go anywhere is not a tunnel, it’s a hideout and a place to cache stuff.
