The above is an update on the situation.

Well, sort of an update. They are still stopped. AND, six(?) borings have been drilled in front of the tunnel boring machine (TBM) at 5-foot spacings - and they didn’t hit anything! Curiouser and curiouser. Perhaps it IS a vertical pile or something? Sounds like they might have had workers in front of the bit today to examine things.

With the numerous borings not hitting anything, I sure hope they double checked that the emergency brake was off and the thing was in “drive”!

Uh-oh. Only one thing explains that. They've hit the force field of a buried ancient spaceship.

Thanks for the link. I'll have a look :-)

Now that is big time interesting.

Sounds like they reduced the possible size of whatever it could be.

Ain't no big, monster boulder, it would seem.
