Mole people? Crocodile catchers? Mario brothers? A series of bizarre sightings of people popping in and out of New York City’s vast subterranean sewer system has the city wondering what exactly is going on, with police now probing the underground mystery.
Some wore headlamps and carried what appeared to be shovels and other tools. One narrowly missed getting run over by a vehicle as they pulled themselves out of the ground.
“They look like they were looking for something important, like money, or for doing some type of hurting,” he said. “Ain’t no fun and games. I mean, seven grown adults going down there? Got to be something, man.”

NYC coos as useless as London cops. I think they are setting up a terror attack of some sort or a gigantic heist. Is the Pink Panther in New York?
There was a famous 1954 HerbBlock cartoon (leftist Herbert Block the cartoonist) of Richard Nixon crawling out of a sewer. When the outraged Nixon saw it in the Washington Post he canceled the subscription so his young daughter Tricia wouldn’t see it or future ones.
Library of Congress site:
Published in The Washington Post, it targeted his “soft on communism” campaign tactics, featuring his signature five o’clock shadow and coining an era of scathing political illustration.
kananadazia!
I’ve seen this episode on Hawaii 50. They are digging into a bank vault
Nixon was an amateur by today’s standard.
Absolutely.
There was a big one near where I grew up in West Nashville that I could ride my bike through! (So long as you remembered to duck under that *1* pipe that crossed the path).
NYC obviously needs an underground tunnel precinct with a way to tax and control any economic activity.
One visit to the steam tunnels was enough for me to realize I was in over my head.
Cops say they’re probably “treasure hunters”.
Maybe they’re geocaching.
There must be laws against it. Imagine the liability factor for cities with weirdos skulking around in the sewers. The insurance companies must be freaking out.
Gio, this morning on WFAN, said these are Knicks fans coming out as they’ve been down there since the last Knicks championship - pretty funny.....
Building luxury homes.
I think Ron is a mystery. It was a good evening TV soap
[[Videos showing groups of people entering NYC sewers at night baffle residents and investigators]]
Not so baffling... State legislators going home for the evening
As a child of the 80’s that passed me by.
I wonder if they are trying to access any of Trump’s holdings???

"An eccentric, if not charming Southern professor and his crew pose as a classical ensemble in order to rob a casino, all under the nose of his unsuspecting but sharp old landlady." They rent her basement adjacent to their target and use the ruse of band practice to cover the sound of their tunneling.
I’m going to look for it on You Tube. Ron makes the BEST Friendly Monsters. I think it’s the sadness in his eyes. *SIGH* Who doesn’t love a Bad Boy with sad eyes? ;)
I wouldn’t have known about ‘Hellboy’ were it not for my teen boys at the time. I guess they WERE useful for something after all!
And Hellboy LOVES cats! What is NOT to love? ;)
My current cats are Boyd and Eva named for the ‘Justified’ couple. My NEXT cat WILL be named Hellboy...if he’s a boy. But, Hellgirl works too, LOL! :)
The original British version of that movie was much better.
