What drivers believed to be a large pothole in the middle of the road in Pembroke Pines, Florida, turned out to be a hidden underground tunnel that authorities believe may lead to a nearby bank.
  • "The only thing I've ever seen like this is in the movies. This is truly a unique case here," FBI spokesman Mike Leverock said of the discovery. "It's very small, very claustrophobic." — Mike Leverock

Above is January, 2019, but what about the ones they discovered in Florida in November, 2018? ... for smuggling Chinese-Cuban prostitutes. Really?

A vast, perfectly designed brick tunnel beneath the earth? Leading miles away? Looks even more impressive when you look at the bank’s location, literally surrounded by geometrically sound little lakes.

Well, if these tunnels do go for miles, these lakes had to complicate the excavation process by quite a margin.


Demolition work Tuesday (2018) unearthed the first new opening in 20 years to the old brick tunnels that serve as a reminder of Ybor City's smuggling past.

Where is the map ?
It reminded me covered river in my town. Some parts of the flow was covered in 1907 with concrete structure, and it appears that they also used an old brick tunnels to reroute the flow somehere. So, the river flows underground through the entire city now.
When they excavated some places in 2022, I didn't catch the moment they demolished the old brickwork on top of the river, but you can imagine how it looked like (I pointed it in yellow).

River appears to be still uncovered in 1840:
