Subterranean Urban Exploration - Niagara's Confluence tailrace tunnel

The internet is a great place for getting side-tracked.

In a search for diy materials to refurbish my hi-fi speaker covers (i.e. "steel" "mesh") Google provided me with an exciting, fascinating, dangerous and spectacular tale of Urban Exploration.

Three blokes breaking into a disused hydro-electric power station under cover of darkness at Niagara falls, to explore the Confluence tailrace tunnel that leads out behind the waterfall.

Intrepid Subterranean Urban Explorers, or Thrill Seeking Nutters with no regard to their own, or others, safety? - you decide.

Bloodyhell did you see all the stuff they took. In the olden days you could get away with 12 iron spikes, 50' of rope & a 10' pole if you wanted to go exploring tunnels.

Not forgetting 60 pine torches and 10 days of iron rations :-)
