Under New York City

If you were ever wondering what you were walking around on in lower Manhattan. This is it. I often have to dig up pipes at work and that just looks like a nightmare.

I don't know if it is safe but I think most of Lower Manhattan is like this. It shows just a little bit of what they had to go through when rebuilding after 9/11. This is about 15 blocks from the WTC.

On a side note there were two NYC police standing across the intersection when I was taking this picture. I thought for sure they were going to say something but they didn't.

I was observing some digging in downtown Houston a few months ago and the crew brought up some wooden sewer pipes...probably some of the original plumbing in that area.
I find that stuff interesting.
