Scruit Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I wonder if as soon as the drill punched thru if they dropped down some cheeseburgersThe first hole that reached them was 3"... Burritos are about 3" wide, right? They sent all kinds of stuff down there. Oxygen, power, food, water, live video stream (not wireless) and all kinds of stuff.Heck those guys were in that mine for so long I'm surprised someone didn't open a Starbucks down there...
