    This made me chuckle:

    Authorities said the zigzag route suggests that excavators veered off course several times.


    Perhaps the people running the excavators had sampled some of what they were smuggling? :lol:

    8.5 x 2000 x 16 = 272,000 ounces x $150 = $40,800,000 8O

    this is a situation where quality control and engineering should not be the same department

    now factor in the losses that convenience stores will suffer as a result of a downturn in demand for doritos

    It's actually really difficult to tunnel in a straight line underground. Which is why when train tunnels meet up within inches of each other under a mountian, it's a big deal. :)

    I agree. Not such a big deal these days with GPS and sensors etc. but tunneling through the mountains of BC and the like, even 25 years ago was quite something.

    I say this because just about everyone else in North America knows to buy a laser or just use the GPS on their smart phones to dig a straight and accurate tunnel.

    You can also stop by the hardware store and buy one of these on the cheap and dig your drug tunnel with an accuracy of 1/8" :

    So, how come the Mexicans can get "high speed" rail but we can't?

    Canada used to have high speed rail.

    And Canada knows how to build light rail...now you just need to build it in Canada.

    This is why the KJV Bible speaks to this topic in Psalm 151:

    And verily didst the Tribe of Canaan(da) traverse the wickedly cold frontiers upon their own feet. Lameting to God they beseeched the angels for assistance and thus did the Lord respond. Thou shalt build unto thee rails of hard metal set apart the measure of the height of a wine cask and the rails should never meet yet always be thus apart. Build unto thee great causeways whose footings shall be set deeply into the earth upon post piles such that the winter's frost shall not move them. Set the rails firmly upon them. Then make unto ye great carriages to roll about the set rails at great haste you shall.

    Thus saith the Lord.


    :D
