Why a Giant Machine Is Digging a Tunnel Under D.C. | National Geographic
Ойын-сауық
A colossal machine called the "Lady Bird" is boring a huge tunnel under Washington, D.C., to channel storm water for treatment, keeping runoff out of the city's notoriously polluted rivers. The $30 million machine is named for Lady Bird Johnson, who, as First Lady of the United States, had advocated for cleaner rivers around the nation's capital.

Storm water treatment! Such B.S. and most people buy into this. Great cover story 🤣😂
We are doing the same thing in Louisville, KY. Many different combined sewer overflows are being directed to a tunnel that will collect the overflows. The combined sewage will be pumped back into the sewer system as the treatment plant gains capacity after the storms. This part of Louisville’s Long Term Control Plan for combined sewer overflows which was developed as a response to an Federal Consent Decree. The tunnel in Louisville is around 160 - 180 ft deep.
They are still tunnelling, but no change in sewage yet. 30 miles of tunnels built in a year. It's been 5 years now, that About 150 miles of tunnels... Something does not smell right.

Well this event has finally come out with a cockamamie cover story. The real story is that it's a tunnel that has already gone through most of the country, in many directions, is part of the governments underground protection act and has been going on for decades. It mostly runs across the 37th parallel coast to coast. This is their "doomsday" protection project and this machine can go through solid rock as easy as a hot knife through butter. My understanding is that their next consideration, if it hasn't already been started, will be under the Atlantic to Europe. Think it can't be done? Boy, are you naive. Thought you knew everything didn't you?
