Storm Sewers are Dangerous Places
Two construction workers repairing storm sewers beneath Saint Paul are reported missing this evening, following around three-quarters of an inch of rain. Firefighters are conducting the unenviable job of searching for the missing men; by this point, though, odds aren’t terribly great.
After all, one-twentieth of an inch of rain can be dangerous underground; what fifteen times that amount is like I can’t even imagine.
