The tunnel was called one of the most sophisticated drug smuggling schemes authorities have ever seen. Using jackhammers and torches, federal agents broke into the concrete reinforced tunnel at a warehouse in Douglas, Arizona. 30 feet underground, agents walked for 100 yards through the five foot high tunnel. It took them under the Mexican border to a house in Agua Prieta. There they found an air compressor, a sump pump, a small trolley car, and a hydraulic jack. It was used to lift up the floor inside the living room of the house where the smugglers would start their illegal trip to the U.S. Authorities said when the tunnel wasn’t being used for drug running, the smugglers would flood it with water. Let’s say we came over here with some technology trying to detect this. It would look like an underground stream if it was flooded.
