I know. I know. I've posted videos like this before. But hey - this one is different! It may actually be a sequel to a piece I've shared before, but, to be honest, I can't remember if it is or not. Whoops.
I've said it before - I'd never be able to do this myself, unless I was with one of these "semi-professionals." Everything below us looks super cool, but I can enjoy it from a distance, through photography and video. There is no need for me to actually go down there.
This piece is cool for the fact that it lets the urban explorers explain why they do it. What their reasoning is, when they started, etc. Oh and it shows how all of them are a bit crazy. I will admit though that I appreciate and sympathize with the guy who explain that by nature, humans are curious. I mean, look at me. I've always been super curious. I just don't need to climb down into drainage ditches to feed my curiosity.
And who would have thunk that below Las Vegas, there is a series of drainage tunnels that really just look like a giant parking garage that you'd find at a mall.
Wild.

Again - BOYS! (though I did see one woman...)
ReplyDeleteOK . . . I can't imagine what it must smell like in some of these places, I can't believe that some of them eat in some of these places, and I can't imagine walking through the green, slimy water (7:17). EEEeeeuuuuuuwwwwwww!
And, as far as Moses stating that if 100 NYers were asked if they would want to sit on the Brooklyn Bridge, they all would say yes? Well, THIS New Yorker would say no way!
I agree with your mother and was going to make the same observations and comments about the smell, eating, walking through the water, etc. I couldn't get over the clarity and vividness of the filming.
