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.
A municipal worker was walking through woods near York University and the Rexall Center last month when he spotted a piece of corrugated metal on the ground, lifted it up and found a passageway, the public broadcaster CBC said.
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.

The tunnel was about 23 feet long and 22.5 meters tall and was lit by an electric generator. I believe the dimensions must be a little off. 22.5 meters tall is almost 70 feet tall.
Regardless, this is very disturbing info.

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

I don’t know where that extra 2 came from. Certainly was not on the piece I pasted. Hmm.

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.

Stuff happens after midnight.
Good night all. It’s been a long day.

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.

Terror... or just a mad scientist held captive by Canada, making his freedom, one thimballfull at a time.

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