Larry, you’re 100% right about how the U.S. govt and pharmaceutical companies are by far the richest and most powerful drug dealers in the world. Painkillers and antidepressants are COMPLETELY the wrong approach to all this. They’re incredibly addictive but they’re also incredibly profitable, so the system marches on like this.

[@mtguitar5150]

Imagine if drug dealers went around creating circumstances that led to the desire/need of their product, that's what the govt/pharmaceutical industry does. Just got the signed book!

[@phillippage8127]

Larry, props for pointing out how complicated the tunnel must have been to build. That's a mind boggling feat. If I was tasked to do it, I'd start in a location I knew I could do the following. Have the exact gps coordinates and elevation of where the tunnel will end, and use a laser or lasers to be precisely straight and keep the angles precisely straight. If you can shine your laser underground to the exact coordinates under his cell, for example, you know you're there and now just tunnel up. :) Just a thought I had. Could also make adjustments and reflect the laser around corners etc with technology to make sure the actual trajectory stays unchanged.

[@andrius799]

You would need inside info and a blueprint of the building to know which cell he was in. Also, just put my man in a cell in the second floor 😂

[@bmxerqf882]

@@andrius799 no, if you can get a phone to him you use the GPS position from that

[@septegram]

I was thinking "lasers" too. You can use them for both direction and distance, but knowing exactly where your target is would be the really interesting challenge.

[@b.r2715]

I agree 💯

[@JerseyJersey100]

Just a hunch, you haven’t a clue and you didn’t research because that sounds like something my 15yo would say lmao. GPS finds you the building if you’re lucky, not a particular cell. There’s so many more factors at play than gps and lasers it’s hysterical

My great grandpa who lives in Bogota Colombia went to a bar one night and the bar tender told him to either to stay or leave because the owner was coming so he decided to stay and a few minutes later Pablo Escobar walked in surrounded by people.

This whole time I never even considered the idea of someone building a tunnel to you in prison from the outside. I always assumed the inmates had to figure out a way to dig a tunnel out on their own

Can tell you totally spot on about Russia, I have been a couple of times, 1st time I was a bit nervous after the UK lines about how Russia is, couldn't be further from the truth sat on the metro realising they are just on their phones, talking with friends and just going about their day, just like the rest of us. Maybe governments don't like each other but the rest of us frankly don't care I think!

[@santorizzuto7360]

Hey Larry I really enjoy your content keep up the good work. I debated on posting this because I don't want people thinking that I'm nuts but here it goes like you I'm also interested in cartels and I was watching an old biography special about Carlos Slehder and it was your run of the mill gangster bio story until it got to the end. Then some interesting writing popped up on the screen. I can't remember what year that this supposedly happened in but according to the attorney he had his regular scheduled visit with Carlos set for a certain date and when he went to the prison he was told that Carlos wasn't there. He was like what do you mean he's not here did he get transferred because I haven't received anything about a transfer? And they said no that 2 guys in suits showed up about 3am with the official paperwork and took Carlos out in restraints and he wasn't seen or heard from again until last year when he was shown being released from that same prison at the age of 70. It also said that prison officials spoke off the record and confirmed what the attorney said. Even though when they asked them on the record they said of course he's there but he was in solitary and couldn't be interviewed at that moment. Part of me thinks that this sounds like a made up story accept for one thing to my knowledge the biography Channel never had to issue a retraction and it was just let go. Which is kind of weird considering how high profile slehder is you'd think that government would be quick to debunk that if nothing else just to save face. But that made me even more curious about them and I have ran across tv species and books basically saying that Pablo and all of his higher ups was basically CIA assets and the CIA only turned on Pablo after he waged a terror campaign on the government of Columbia after he was denied entry into parliament then later came extradition etc. Then the CIA took Pablo down and backed the Cali cartel then later production moved to Mexico and when chapo took over the same deal with him and there's a famous case where the CIA told the DEA to drop an investigation into Chapos nephew after he got busted. But anyways if the story about Slehder is true where do you think he was and is it possible that Slehder wasn't actually in prison that whole time and he was only brought back when it was time for him to be released and if that's possible then what's to say that someone like chapo may not actually be in prison now? Like I said it sounds crazy but I've learned one thing when it comes to the government there's no telling.

With extremely precise measurements - as well as the exact location of the facility - coupled with a complete set of "Blue Prints"...

My time living in Mexico people loved el chapo, especially the youth, because el chapo donated so much money to towns and poor people, there was a time when people wanted el chapo to run for president since he helped the people more than the government at that time.

I never knew there were SO MANY tunnels. Like you said, it is truly an engineering feat worthy of being on Modern Marvels on History Channel. Just like a rifle, if you shoot a degree off, by the time the bullet reaches it's target it's WAY off. Same with the tunnel. AND, you had to do it secretly and as quiet as possible and with a map of the prison going EXACTLY under the toilet.
