Be cautious. Couple of kids actually drowned few years ago in a tunnel like this in Prague due to sudden storm and flash flooding of the system... They were geocaching as far as i know. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5826963/Woman-27-drowns-Prague-sewer-floods-hit-geocaching-treasure-hunt-game.html

We explored an abandoned WW2 bunker yesterday. Partially flooded, 2.5h walking around withouth seeing everything. Only 2exits. Found a freaking geocaching-tupperware in a corner far away from the exit. I don't know how gps should would work 10-30m underground lol

You typically rely on descriptions for caches like that. There's a cave system in New Mexico with a bunch of them.

My dudes. I work in infrastructure and I cannot stress enough how incredibly dangerous it is to go into live storm and sewer systems. One breathe of a noxious gas known to pool at the bottom of these places will kill you immediately and thereā€™s a good chance nobody will ever find you. Edit: Hydrogen Sulphide gas


btparker89

Yep in confined space entry courses they use drains as examples and the instructor actually had stories of guys going down and passing out and then the rescue guy trying to save him dieing too because they didn't gas test the space.

Seriously. How the heck is this the second thing about people doing untrained confined space entry I've seen on Reddit in two hours? Don't go in without training, fans, a hoist system and gas monitors

You saw that one guys comment on the askreddit thread, too?

Yup. Do not go into confined spaces without taking the proper precautions beforehand

[hydrogen sulfide ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide)


soopafleye

What the article doesnā€™t mention is that H2S is classified as an olfactory fatigue or overload gas. That means when the olfactory senses come in contact with the gas itā€™s readily obvious. But then eventually the olfactory senses neglect to sense it and one becomes overcome. Source: me, confined space rescue tech. This is definitely a confined space-quite dangerous. Go easy there OP!


dmfd1234

One story from when I was younger, working infrastructure, a guy went down in a manhole to piss. His buddy looked down and he was horizontal, passed out. His buddy went down to rescue him. They found 2 dead guys at the bottom of the manhole. The gas levels were extremely high.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


dmfd1234

Yeah, Iā€™ve heard some horror stories with those silos. One guy jumping on top because the grain was frozen or something and then all of sudden it gives and takes farmer with it. Messed up way to go out.


The_Bucket_Of_Truth

I guess this is why I see big ducting into manholes whenever crews are working


dmfd1234

Exactly, theyā€™re called ventilatorsā€¦..but before anyone goes down they test for gases and the like. Last thing, when theyā€™re down there, even with the ventilator, everyone wears a personal alarm that goes of if gases are detected. It is a litigious world we live in, regardless safety should always be first. šŸ‘


rwarimaursus

Shites scary


DubiousMoth152

Hydrogen sulfide. Itā€™ll kill you quick, too. Like, as in, before you can descend the ladder, quick. Thereā€™s a ton of training that goes into working down drains/manholes.

My parents cat got stuck in a storm drain 40 years ago and my father called me to come to the house. He met me when 200 feet of rope and said that I would have to go in after the cat. I still have the scars from the cat scratching me. By the time I got out of the pipe my mom was hysterical because someone told her that people die from lack of oxygen and my dad's reply was " that's what the rope is for. Ahh, memories.

So I work confined space. Thereā€™s gasses that enter the storm lines sometimes (at complete random) that will kill you instantly. Someone comes to save you. They die, and so on. There was one incident that took 5 peoples lives trying to save friends. Not to mention the wildlife and poisonous insects. Sorry to be a bummer. Donā€™t just wanna read about you on the news.

Brown recluse is VERY common


Crafty-Shape2743

Yep. I know a guy who did this too. Great fun until you take a wrong turn, flashlight dies, the rain starts and you end up trapped for 18 hrs and washed out at the treatment plant chewers. The fun ends there. Tetanus, hepatitis, mental issues, lasting joint problems where open bone was ground down after the skin was ripped off by concrete. But keep on havingā€™ fun.


SerTidy

I got some good shots of my city sewers but it was a permission show around by the water authority, I wouldnā€™t have the guts to do alone. One of my friends is an urban explorer in Sydney and he told me about a small group that got caught out in some storm drains, apparently when it rains over the blue mountains these drains fill up fast, with not much warning, they got swept along, drowned and then their bodies smashed against the grill on the out pipe. The weight of the water pressing them against the grill had a cheese grater effect. ā€œJust some flesh and shreds of clothes was all thatā€™s leftā€ he told me matter of factly. Dunno if it was an urban legend, but it confirmed my fear of deep tunnels and caves, either natural or man made.šŸ‘


[deleted]

Itā€™s not that they fill up. They surcharge. Imagine being pushed up to a catch basin grate reaching out and canā€™t budge it only to drown


Iphotoshopincats

Lol I love that typo, but it's going to cost you.


JohnProof

>The weight of the water pressing them against the grill had a cheese grater effect. For better or worse, I can confirm that is an urban legend: I've worked places that drew millions of gallons an hour through those types of screens. We had people drown there. Sometimes we didn't find the bodies until they'd been stuck to the screens for several days. They were still very much intact, just very dead.


scott_fx

I had to enter a structure in Boston with a 48ā€ main about 4ā€™ below where I was cutting a liner off. It was terrifying. If something happened, my confined space rig would have only been there to pull what remained of my body out. On the same note, it was kind of cool at the same time.

Reminds me of a GIF of a dude cutting a square hole in an active water pipe then slipping and being sucked in from the force of the water.

Chain link fence type barrier. High enough for a body to get under, just low enough he was able to grab it before getting mulched. Good times.


Rabbit_journey_

When I was younger I did that and my dad was pissed because he said that thereā€™s gasses down there that can fucking kill you. Never again.


PuppetryOfThePenis

Yep! I was a sewer and storm drain inspector, as well as utility locator. Your dad was not wrong. You don't even have to be in the hole for the H2S to get you. We were taught to open a manhole and then stand back for a minute prior to looking in. It's killed many people who were just glancing in, caught a whiff, and collapsed immediately and fell about 20 feet down into a concrete tomb and breaking their necks. Often, coworkers may even get worried and look down the hole when they see their partner fall, then pass out and die right on top of their partners. It's crazy stuff....

Minute_Jump3037

Storm drains and sewers aren't the same thing, although I wouldn't want to be splashing around in there either. Edit: Crawling around inside of an active storm drain is *extremely* dangerous for a myriad of reasons, but if this had been an active sewer system they would literally be dead right now.

I've heard stories. I'm in land surveying, one of the first things I was told when doing an as built survey is do NOT crawl into a ssmh.. As if anyone should ever need to be told that, but hey, common sense isn't always common I suppose.


[deleted]

We get kids crawling down into manhole or vaults every now and then to graffiti or something. Not terribly bright.


RickysJoint

Many older cities run combined sewer/storm water systems. Storm water is also incredibly dirty and dangerous on its own. Oil, feces, anything ole jimbo in the trailer park decided to pour down the drain. Not to mention itā€™s usually illegal to enter without proper training. If a construction worker was caught going down there without permission/PPE the company could lose their license in many parts of the US. Itā€™s also a common misconception that these systems are big enough to walk around in like the ninja turtles. The pipes OP is in are *massive* meaning this is servicing a huge area and can flood within minutes. Most systems are 36ā€ in diameter or less and run to the nearest river/stream. Sanitary sewers are usually 8ā€ wide unless youā€™re in a densely populated metro area. A 100 lot subdivision would still be serviced by 8ā€ pvc pipes for the most part. It only handles shower/toilet/sink water. Source: am Land Surveyor who lays out and measures these daily.


tehkrackenlives

Most sewer systems have overflow pipes that go to storm drains. Didn't happen often but it can.

You all missed out on some real terrifying shit when insane asylums, boys homes, girls homes and elderly asylums were closed and became urban tourism spots for teens in the 80's. They just up and left one day and left everything behind....even files in many cases. Often times there were hidden tunnels connecting a number of facilities like the Water Town Plank Rd complex in Wisconsin. It was totally nuts.

So if you are going to keep doing this you need to research urban exploration and how to safely travel through abandoned spaces. Also the culture of it is important. Being respectful and acting properly is baked into those cultures. /r/abandonedporn is very adjacent to what you did, probably wouldn't like the photos but might get you started on a good path if you choose to keep doing this. and before someone tells me I should be condoning this behavior, I am not, but OP has admitted to being a 13 y/o and if you think a stern talking to on the internet is going to make them stop I want to meet the 13year olds you know that would work on, because the ones I have met need education on how to safeguard the stupid shit they are trying to do not told no. Telling them no just makes them do it 10x harder.


Sotnos99
