Brasilian Tunnel Nets 89 Million Smaceroos
 

just saw on the news a gang in Brasil dug a tunnel from their house to the banks vault and cleaned them out to the tune of 89million!

Apparently the weight of all the cash was well over 3tonnes!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Hollywood movies probably gave them that idea. ;)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Wouldn't surprise me one bit :)

Brilliant idea tho

only saw that strategy in cartoons. never thought people would do that.

the tunnel was under 2 blocks, fucking lmao

never thought it can happen in real life..

yup and 4 metres deep. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a bunch of foreigners that actually did it.

Would require a fair bit of know how to do it properly.

So brazilians are stupid ? :1orglaugh

But seriously, i suppose it all depends on the type of ground.. Sandy loose soil , and you and your grandpa could do it over a few years with just some wood , buckets and shovels on the weekends.

Yeah that's all it would require. How about digging in the right direction? Building a tunnel that wont collapse and fuk knows what else.

BTW - they did in in ~3 months.

This was probably inspired by the movie, Italian Job.
How could anyone dig a tunnel for months without getting noticed? Seems funny, but that's exactly how it happened.

Ok i forgot a compass. ( the wood i mentioned is to keep the tunnel from collapsing )

I live near a coal town , they built the tunnels by hand , just wood and shovels.

Its not an easy task but its not an impossible task for 2 people with absolutly no brains at all to accomplish. ( to do it properly might require a little more brains :) )

thats fucking awsome, i'd like to shake their hands

I honestly don't think any old idiot could do it. Trying to figure out where you are how far to go etc... We'll ave to agree to disagree :)

that is pretty wild

How in the hell would they ever guess the right spot to dig up, to get into the vault?

Maybe you should read the forbes article.

GPS.
