Too bad the third survived. The trouble with rescuing people is you don't know if the guy is a criminal, no point risking your own life to rescue some tagging punk.

They should have showed a cat chewing on an extension cord or something. That building is under construction and the power is never turned on until the receptacles have all been installed and everything inspected.

Then again I'm probably taking a lolcats pic way too seriously.

I used to crawl around in drainpipes when i was a kid (a little kid). In fact, I was just thinking the other day that i probably would not fit in an old pipe (that went under a graveyard) that i used to crawl around in. I always hoped it would rain and I would see coffins.

OK, now how does this happen? The VERY SAME ARTICLE I submitted, the VERY SAME LINK is approved. It is not the headline I submitted, but it IS the link. Instead of appearing as a "rejected link" or a "published link", it does not appear on my user page at all. WTF??? What's the deal, guys?? When I submitted it, it had NOT been previously submitted - it was FINE. So what gives??

I find this thread quite ironic. Usually the Atheists and Darwinists blame God whenever someone dies, and Darwin gets all the credit for life. Well make up your minds. Which is it?

The worst part of the story is that their graffiti is probably washed away...so their main purpose of being there is erased. All that for nothing?

glaurunge: Usually the Atheists and Darwinists blame God whenever someone dies

Why would they blame something they don't believe in? And I think Darwin gets congratulated more than blamed, for helping remove defective stock from the gene pool, preferably before they pass on their genes.

i had something similar happen once. The link I submitted was approved with somebody else's headline, and I received credit for it. weird.

There is a whole subculture of people who explore things like storm drains. I found out about them reading through back issues of Infiltration (a 'zine about urban exploration in general). It's actually pretty interesting stuff, aside from the risking-death-by-drowning part. The drain systems in some areas are unbelievably complex - multi-level labyrinths in effect.
I don't see what the problem with spraying graffiti in a place like a storm drain is, either. It's not like it devalues anyones' property, because it's invisible except to other tunnel rats.

Friends, whom, if they'd told them they were drowning, he would not lend a hand, Collins explained.

Normally I am anti-tagger too, but only because of the disrespect and property damage.

The inside of a drain is nothing, who cares if it gets painted?

Surprised at how hard the water hit them.

Yeah, something like the inside of drain where you aren't farking someones property I don't really give a shiat either.

Oh please. The libs are the ones brainwashing kids in our universities, not conservetives. They believe that "you can think what you like" as long as that includes socialized medicine and surrendering to terrorists.

First rule of urban exploration is, if it rains, no drains.
These are probably total newb or some kids copycatting what they heard

Urban exploration is surprisingly quite well known in Australia
