U.S. authorities seized another cross-border tunnel, this time in San Diego, just weeks after a similar tunnel was uncovered in Calexico, Calif., a two-hour drive to the east.
The 874-yard-long tunnel was uncovered, on Wednesday, after a months-long investigation, authorities said. The tunnel was equipped with a rail system, lighting, a ventilation system, and even a commercial elevator on the Mexico-side that could fit up to ten people, authorities said.
Laura Duffy, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of California, said the tunnel was “a bit ingenuous” and “completely different” than any of the tunnels her office had seen before. She also said the operation was unusual because the tunnel was built not only to smuggle marijuana, but cocaine as well.

The tunnel needs to be 12 feet high and 36 feet deep.

I thought they had deep-earth radar scanning capability to detect these tunnels? The idea of a wall may not stop the drug running.

They’re just smuggling the coke and weed that Americans won’t smuggle!

Depends on how deep the footings go.
This baby can probably trench 20 to 30 feet deep.

Are there civil engineers that specialize in drug tunnels? ‘Yeah, this baby will be okay for marijuana, but you can’t smuggle cocaine in it. No. No. No.’
To: nickcarraway
When s tunnel is discovered pump it full of Napalm then set it alight.

The address of the location is 9950 Marconi Drive #104, San Diego CA 92154. You can use Google map and zoom in on the satellite images of the border. Look at where the fence ends about two or three miles east of the tunnel. You can see the foot trails on Otay Mountain from miles away. There is so much foot traffic there every night that the trails stand out. That border in San Diego is supposed to be the most secure sector. No way.

The wall won’t do any good with these shenanigans going on. The wall is symbolic the only cure is consequences for breaking the law and currently there are none.
