| Tunnel collapses in central Gaza Strip |
| 2007-10-12 |
| Gaza – Ma'an – A tunnel collapsed in the Al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip on Thursday, injuring a number of people. Awwwww... The casualties are believed to have suffocated in the incident, according to Mu'awiya Hassanain, the director of emergency and ambulance department in the Palestinian ministry of health. Awwwww... Tunnels on the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt are frequently used for smuggling goods, particularly weapons into Gaza from Egypt. But I'll bet this one would've been used to bring in stuffed animals for all the kids for Eid. Probably why they were rushing it... |

| #3 Knowing a little about mining explosives, it should be possible to create explosive rods, that when inserted into the ground in a particular pattern, to a certain depth, and fired, would have a strong possibility of collapsing a tunnel beneath them even at a significant depth. That being said, if such a system of rods could be created that could quickly be inserted in the ground with a boot, and fired, it could make the life of Paleo sandhogs that much harder. |

| #2 Sharon considered a canal made by D9s and such from the sea to Israel along the Egypt/Gaza border. I should have dug an unlined one. |
