Over those 80 years field offices have been built, gas line built/abandoned, air lines, water lines, electric lines and communication crossed every year. Since the work area slowly shifts from year to year there is always new construction. There are lines everywhere and no one really knows what is still live and what isn't.

Wow, the Post tubes are damn cool. You can still see some of them in the 80s films, and you've seen them in the Simpsons as well. I've always wondered whether they actually existed or not. And I think the idea is really cool. And why not? So between large buildings, you could do that with parcels by sending parcels underground, so to speak, I say from one packing station to the next or from one post office to the next post office and so on and so forth. Or it could also be in Amsterdam, where there is no special garbage day, but where you simply dump the garbage on the sidewalk in such large containers. And you could do the same with packages. Do, then the post office would no longer have to pick up the parcels from the mailbox, but rather the parcels. Automatically transported to a parcel center or no idea what or maybe directly to the destination.

I'm an engineer from Canada, this is not out of the ordinary. We have GIS technology (Think google maps but more information) that can record and organize all this data, even bring it into CAD drawings, and some areas of our country they made it a priority, while others are desperately trying to catch up. Currently we have Ontario One in Ontario, Canada, that is supposed to coordinate all the utilities and mark them up on site during design and construction and the contractor and their insurance is responsible for it, not the tax payer (usually). Accidents still happen are going to happen, utilities take on no responsibilities for their information provided, if you ask me more needs to be done, often you get a rare rough offset and a guess at the depth of the utility, sometimes completely wrong information is provided and there is really no reason for this other than do we make the utility pay for it or the tax payer pay for it. British Columbia has a great system in place for some of their areas, you can even look up old drawings of when construction was last done on that road. This information is public and in most cases free. It makes it easier than ever for small companies to get information and compete and startup to get the job done right at a competitive price, through public bidding. It's completely possible, but you gotta stand up to private interests in America, make them cover their overhead otherwise you make the tax payer pay for it or some small business.

This video is case in point as to why New York City is by far America's most interesting city, and one of the world's most interesting.

[@AugustinTomasOBrienCaceres]

where can we see info about this mirrored room?

[@noswad7898]

That is not how you pronounce pneumatic and freon is NOT explosive. These videos are just as misinformative as they are informative.

[@cheddar]

A container of freon can and will explode when under enough pressure. www.google.com/search?q=freon+explosion

[@ashesmandalay1762]

Freon is like a brand name, not one specific chemical. Freon is not explosive, but if exposed to an open flame, it could create deadly gas, which is what they're talking about in the video. If the towers collapsed on the tank and the fire reached that tank, then it could have heated the tank, increased pressure enough for it to burst, and then the open flames would turn all the freon into a deadly gas.

[@noswad7898]

@@cheddar any pressurized gas exposed to heat can explode. Neither R410 nor R22 are rated flammable or explosive under the hazardous substance rating system. I'm going to quote the video "not only does freon explode" *cuts to a random container that is clearly holding a liquid exploding* Although there is liquid in canisters of freon it is a product of the pressure reducing the boiling point. The white jug of liquid could not possibly be holding liquid freon.

[@notsure6187]

anything will explode under enough pressure, or implode I guess.

[@johndasilva6456]

Well done. The group of individuals whom came together to create this video, have done a good f'ing job and kept the flow of info moving right along nicely. I've never been to New York and the direction and perspective provided allowed me to somewhat visualize the area/landscape in relation to what's underneath. Good presentation, informative and succinct. Thank you, John DaSilva

[@cosbornejr1]

I think you meant pneumatic mail tubes...powered by pressurized air

[@SailorGreenTea]

2:42, why are mirrors usually in a room more than typical?

[@tomstclair961]

Ok update!! Freon is not a combustible material. It's used in your older cars air conditioning systems. It is dangerous to the ozone layer though. But non flammable.

[@larrywhite6637]

AHHHH, THIS IS WHERE deblazio CAME FROM. THANKS NOW WE KNOW.

How u gonna tell us the mirror room Nd then skip it like nothing 2:41

I'm rolling that shit is so damn funny. I know I'm late to the party here but lmao damn that's a good one I cam just see his fake rainbow ass just flying through a mail tube omg lmfao

[@rosetints4246]

What would be cool is to have a hint 3d map of everything underground, it would make things easier to understand the complexity, and would just be satisfying to look at

[@davidelombardo4004]

@Cheddar where did you get the image at 4:50

[@cavv0667]

The details of what is under NY is vastly interesting and holds the rapt interests of several urban explorers groups... some of which never return. I love cheddar; your channel is pretty cool too!!! ;)

What happend to the cat?!

[@benefactionhindrance]

Legend has it he haunts the tubes and shreds any mail that comes its way

[@richbob9155]

Pneumonic means relating to the lungs, I think you meant pneumatic (meaning operated by gas or air).

[@REal1377]

What's the source for the mirror room? I can't seem to find much info about it.

[@Bigfoot_With_Internet_Access]

Hmm strange, there isn't any secret infrastructure under my woods

[@mijoru]

@3:09 The Lexington/63rd Street station is DEFINITELY more than a few feet underground! Not to mention, that station doesn't serve the 4/5/6 Line that I think you're referring to...

[@andre5006]

Michael Rucinski i also was Iole wtf. Lex 63rd Street not on the Lexington Avenue line and is definitely has some of the deepest tracks in the city.

[@gregthorup5679]

That's one of the most fascinating things I've seen. I often wondered where all that stuff is since I saw a photo of Times Square with utility poles covered with hundreds of wires and the streets clogged with foot traffic, horses and wagons.

[@userequaltoNull]

That was during a brief period in history, between when Edison brought electric lighting into everyone's homes and when Tesla made it not suck (introduced Alternating Current)

You mentioned water lines @0:49 and ones @5:05. So, are there 5 water lines from upstate NY and one being built?

[@liltoaster7308]

Philadelphia has the exact same story as to what is underground. In the eastern part of West Philadelphia, archeologists found the remnants of a large Lenape village about 4,000 years old.

[@michaelrahaman9297]

This would be the best scary movie. Deep under ground a sand hog discovers the old highway and has to survive a ghost family that was stuck in the highway as he make his way up all on his own
